Cybertruck Powershare Installation for Home Backup
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 тра 2024
- The Tesla Cybertruck has the ability to power your home in case of an electricity outage with a feature called Powershare. The full backup feature is waiting for a software update, but this video goes over the process of getting the equipment (Tesla Gateway and Universal Wall Charger) and having it installed by a Tesla certified electrician.
The installation was completed by Car Charger Specialists in Atlanta:

That was an amazing video!!!! Thanks for doing such a great job breaking down all the details!!!!
Congrats on the new ride and very nice walkthrough of the PowerShare. I assume we'll see an update video someday when they actually turn on that feature. ☺ I'll need a ride next time you are around here!
Nice and Congrats! I live in Buford.. getting our PowerShare installed on the 20th!
Awesome, let us know how it turns out.
So just a few comments.
1. The V2 Gateway and the 3-wire Gen 3 wall connector you mentioned are not compatible with PowerSharing unless you have the PowerWall system already installed and working.
2. For a stand-alone setup (no other Tesla power systems in the house), you will need a 3V (yes, 3V, not a typo) gateway with a "neutral balancing transformer" that the PowerWall system normally provides.
3. Additionally, you'll need the new (not available yet) 4-wire wall connector that can carry 12V power back to the 3V gateway when there's an outage (the current one is three-wire)
This is my understanding.
Yes, plus software that's not available yet.
I live in the ATL and got mine installed last week. I got a banner in the Tesla app showing how to use Powershare. The option to turn it on showed up at the same time in the controls menu and in the vehicle. My Powershare works.
I'm jealous. When did you take delivery of the truck?
@@LifeOnTech I took delivery Apr 27 in Duluth. My Powershare was probably available the day after install. But I didn't realize it until I poked thru the banner that appeared in the app.
did you have to call tesla to have the banner on your app, mine was installed a month ago and not showing up !!! Or the electrician activated it for you? my installer dont have a clue!!!
@@jacobpulickal4381 I did not call or do anything. It just showed up. Do you have powerwalls? I know that impacts things.
The Ford system does not work, and neither Ford, nor Sunrun will support it. *Possibly* if you have Sunrun install it, but then you have to deal with them putting screws through your livingroom wall. The equipment costs $6k, my install was $7k, and Ford charges you $500, "for the privilige".
Good information. I had no idea how the Ford system was set up and was wondering if it worked well
Great content!! You are first!! WAY cheaper than a $14,000 Generac. Excellent job.
I’m guessing a 200A service disconnect is outside?
Thanks this was very helpful i just got my cybertruck. I just odered a universal wall connector. Was i supposed to receive that for free ? Or is it just the installation I will get savings on ?
Do you know what size and type the communication wire is, I'm seeing on a search I see 22 gauge shielded twisted pair but can't really confirm that. The red wire you spoke of. I'm running the wire this weekend and want to run the right wire with the power it even though I don't have the gateway yet to be ready for my next tesla with powershare. thanks
Is the gateway capable of taking a solar input as well?
Weird that you dont have it working now. Others in the forum have it going now. Maybe something hasn't updated right or a problem with commissioning.
Also your 3V gateway and UWC are not required for thise with existing Powerwall and connector:
For Customers with Powerwall
If your home is equipped with Powerwall and home charging, you do not require any additional equipment. Powershare Home Backup functionality with Powerwall is expected to be available later this year through an over-the-air update. All AC Powerwall variants will be compatible with Powershare Home Backup in the future.
What size conduit do I need to rough in before I close up my drywall. I just confirmed my Foundation series two weeks ago. My confirmation reply was a delivery of no later than the end of September. Do you think that’s possible? Thanks for the info. We are hanging drywall at the present time
Tesla free install or they will charge extra?
So they ran Romex inside of your conduits?
Yeah, that run to to the charger doesn't look up to code. Looks indeed like Romex NM cable (likely 6/2). If so - two violations there - can't run Romex in conduit, and need THHN #6 for the 60A rated circuit. Running the communication cable in that conduit with the power is ok, but the power is suspicious - unless that is some special cabling.
Thanks for the video
What was the quote amount for installation? Sounds like about $2100?
Yes, right around $2,300
Dang I average about 115kwh/day at my house. Don't think the Powershare is going to work for me. Tesla credit it is. Thanks for the video and the nice explanation.

How about you say how much you actually paid for the install.
$2,400
So if you have tesla solar and you purchase a foundation series your paying for equipment you already own ???? And FSD that isn’t available and you lose 7,500 rebate because the purchase price is over 80,000 LMAO WHAT???? Why would anyone do this even if you didn’t have tesla solar why??
Because one has the money and getting the CT now is worth the spend.
Basic microeconomics says the utility bundle of the individual depends on their circumstances and preferences, and nobody else's feelings are relevant, at all.
Those truck look so bad
hey this guy paid over $100k so clearly he thinks it looks good and will be a pleasure to drive for years. If he thought it would be a complete failure or super ugly he would have kept his $
Those trucks look so awesome!
@womplestilskin Your opinion are just your opinion and not fact. Always remember that.
How much was installation?
