Musk should be careful when driving, dining, etc. Bad things happen to people who upset the status quo and impact the status quo’s money.

As I read the article, two things came to mind: (1) Remembering the news article about the city hall in England with the huge solar panel installation on the roof and its fire that the local fireman couldn't get near due to the electrical hazard, are you sure you want one those attached to your house?, and (2) "Cunningham's home has not endured a blackout in the six months that he has had the battery" is a meaningless statement. I also have not had an electrical blackout since he installed his system.

The best argument I can see for this is as
a whole house Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS).
Power Outages would be a thing of the past.
The power in theses parts is real unreliable

I read elsewhere the basic Tesla home battery has a 7KW capacity. That is fine to run LED lighting, a computer or TV set, but it won’t run a central A/C very many minutes on a hot summer day.
After Hurricane Ike, I designed and installed a much cheaper backup lighting solution using golf cart batteries, a power inverter, and independent LED lighting circuits. I can light up most of my home nicely for a week without recharging. If I need A/C, I can also run a gas generator to power a window unit.
So far as storing cheaper off-hours electricity, I doubt the Tesla battery’s 7KW capacity could ever pay for itself before the batteries wear out.

It’s only a new market when people actually start buying it. They thought the Segway was a new market too - now only used by mall cops.
