How far away is your Universal Wall Charger to the Backup Gateway?
Not installed yet but most likely they will be right next to each other on the opposite side of the exterior panel location. Probably the easiest configuration possible.

In Irvine CA, here’s the quote I just received. Don’t know where everyone is coming up with $4K-$6K. It’s less than $2K including permits. Maybe just want to be helpful?

Do you mind sharing the install company? I have had my truck since Jan and got an email from tesla that I qualify for powershare and someone will reach out once I am closer to getting my truck. Problem is I have my truck and nobody has reached out, plus nobody from Tesla has been helpful in resolving my issue. I think I may have fallen through the cracks since I got my CT so early. Anyway I think I might just reach out to these companies and find out if I'm on their list. Thanks!

FYI: Drew Baglino from Tesla commented on X that if you have a Powerwall already, you don't need ANY ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT INSTALLED, nor the universal Connector, and could use a normal Tesla Wall Charger.

BTW, does anyone know how to test it? Or what the procedure is when you're plugged in and want to power the house from your Cybertruck instead of charging it?

Of course I wouldn’t mind. See attached. They have two locations Riverside and Corona. Tesla actually sent a follow up email stating Trout Electric will reach out to me before they did. Good luck! ??

The number of miles driven for supercharging has to be REALLY high to equal the money paid for the power share install, would run the #s before opting out.
yes, I plan to do it before road trip during summer, still might not a great deal, but what else I can do??

Agree. My buddy got two quotes from same installer; $2500 manual and $3500 automatic. The manual meant he would have to remember NOT to turn on the AC whereas the automatic, I assume, took care of that for him. He's going for the cheaper manual configuration. He is in Sacramento / Yuba City area.
