💠 Tesla Expands Car-to-Home Backup

Owners of Model 3 and Model Y in Premium and Performance versions can now use the car to power their home during an outage. Tesla says the backup can last more than 2 days. Cybertruck can run a home for more than 3 days.

The feature requires Powerwall 3. Tesla guarantees support only for cars ordered from October 1, since older vehicles may lack the required PCS2 Lite inverter. It is currently limited to the US and Puerto Rico.

Model S and Model X are excluded, while grid support remains a Cybertruck feature. Kia and GM already offer home backup from their vehicles, and Nissan Leaf has fed energy into the grid for years.
