sucks.

Powerwall feature is still in development and is now scheduled for release in mid-2026.

This new release date gives us additional time to design and test this feature, ensuring its ability to communicate and optimize energy sharing between your vehicle and many configurations and generations of Powerwall. We are also using this time to develop additional Powershare features that will help us continue to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.

I just got the same email... Too bad I'm moving this coming summer. Maybe it'll work at my next house.

Same email here. Super disappointing.

So what other options can an electrician install to work in a system with powerwalls?

If the powerwalls go empty on me I need to do something. Even if not automatic.

Its huge deal for me in my area to be able to keep well pumps working during an outage/fire....

Probably not the right answer, but you could put a suicide plug between the grid and your powerwalls. You would need to manually shut off grid supply and then plug in a line to your 14-50 plug in the bed. It's basically male plugs on both ends, and another 14-50 outlet on your wall that's before the powerwall and after the grid tie.

OR - you could get a gateway and install it and your HPWC after the powerwalls. Not sure if they'd be able to provision that setup though.

Disclaimer - I am not an electrician, just some guy on the internet offering free advice. It's worth what you paid for it (nothing).

Thank you! I will reach out to the installer with my situation and see what he comes up with. There must be a way, same as if I wanted to run a generator as the last line of defense in the system.

Got this email in 2024. Now again. Sucks.

got the same email, sucks
wish i went with ecoflow's new delta ultra x instead of powerwall... at least i can use the 240V power outlet in the bed to charge it when it runs low

Got the same email. Sucks but at least they’re being transparent and still planning to release it.

This makes me very happy. I’m all long game on this one. Powerwalls and solar serve my backup needs for now but I really want full use of my 120 plus kWh of paid for battery, the ability to import power in an emergency.
central air is a thirsty drinker in Arizona no matter how efficient and that ultimately is what determines if my family is comfortable at home for an extended emergency.

i wouldn't bet too much on their statement.. just like how they cancelled the range extender

Hope you’re wrong but I have a sneaking suspicion you might not be.

Agree. This is probably the last delay. I'd expect release in 2026 sometime, maybe by end of year, or cancellation. Must be some major issues to work through since delayed since 2024.

I’d be more inclined to believe them if there was a sequential plan like…powerwall 3 first etc.
you know, kind of like FSD

Powershare with Powerwall​

Hi Xxx, We’re writing to let you know that the Powershare with Powerwall feature is still in development and is now scheduled for release in mid-2026, but we've decided to provide you with an early adopter preview. Later this week your Powerwall will receive a firmware upgrade after which a Tesla Energy representative will reach out to you to provide configuration assistance and testing. This new release date gives us additional time to design and test this feature, ensuring its ability to communicate and optimize energy sharing between your vehicle and many configurations and generations of Powerwall. We are also using this time to develop additional Powershare features that will help us continue to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. We hope that you are willing to assist our team in early beta testing and look forward to speaking with you soon. The Tesla Team​
