Respectfully glend, I disagree. I've been doing some homework into solar with battery storage for our home and Tesla only quote 70% capacity after 10 years.

While I hope that in 10 years time the replacements will be a lot cheaper, the Powerwall units are still quite costly at the moment. For a good sized home, it almost makes more sense to buy the EV and use it as battery storage. Especially as a retiree or a "work from home"-ee...
