The universal wall connector is the interface from the CT to PowerShare. It would be possible to to buy and have another wall connector installed on the property, but it likely would not be able to also support PowerShare. From what I have seen on the V3 gateway, there is only one communication connection for the universal wall connector.
I filled out the survey finally. I have powerwalls already. But I need the universal wall charger. I wasn’t sure how many amps my house has. Anyways, 4k is a steal to have full home backup in Florida I lose power due to hurricanes a lot. I bought my powerwalls after going through 10 days of no power.
My panel is in my garage on an outside wall, and the main meter is on the opposite of that wall.
How are these electricians coming up with $3k+ for labor and some wire?
My guy would probably get it done before lunch for $300 and less than $50 in parts.
I don't understand why Tesla is creating a way for 'approved' electricians to profit by taking the whole $4k because they know it's available and they know they are a monopoly by being Tesla approved.
Beast owner here. I recently received an email from Tesla with a $1400 credit for the store to buy equipment (i.e., Universal Wall Connector etc). I've reached out to a certified installer, and I'm still waiting for them to get back to me, but it is not clear how I receive the $4000 installation credit that the Foundation Series Beast comes with.
Does anyone know how the installation credit works? Does the installer reach out to Tesla? Or do I have to pass the invoice on to Tesla and they pay for up to $4000 for the install? It's not clear on how this works.
