Just another thing from an electrician who’s been around for 45 years or so, I never turn off a main breaker with loads on it, every time you exercise a breaker with a load on it there’s gonna be a good sized arc inside that breaker. So to minimize any excessive damage to large breakers, unless it’s absolutely necessary to flip that large breaker with a full load on it, I always turn off the smaller loads first and then cycle the big breaker. ⚠️ And one more safety tip: Breakers are made out of hard plastic and can crack if there is a failure of this breaker while you’re turning it on or off that energy can flash out of the panel straight at you, just go look at arc flash accidents on TH-cam ⚡️💥 So for safety reasons, you always stand to the side when you’re flipping breakers and look away because you want to save your eyes at the minimum, thereby if anything goes boom it’s going to blow out the front of the panel, but not straight into you, stay safe out there and let’s push these manufacturers like the Hyundai iconic to make them all accessible for 110 V or like the lightning pick up truck or other vehicles all EV should have 110 V power available 15 amp circuit.
Good tips, man! I'm *shocked* about some of these tips. See what I did there? 😃 Are there any specific gloves I can wear to protect my hands when turning off breakers? Like Klein Tools or something?
@@VishalRaoOnTH-cam well if you really wanted to protect yourself, you would have to buy some expensive electrical gloves, but if your hand is in the way of the breaker, I’ll good pair of just heavy leather gloves is the best you can have. You’re not touching stuff you’re just trying to protect your skin, actual electrical working gloves are two pair of gloves, an inner rubber pair that you have to keep in a safe bag from puncher and dirt and nonsense with leather over gloves you can look them up just look up like lineman gloves, just to protect yourself, you’re doing thatand you want to feel more safe just some heavy heavy leather gloves if you want something longer than get a welders glove, they’re just not good for much else except Welder working with like heavy brush or something
Using your truck on the regular to power your house would be a very different use case than occasional home backup. Tesla would need to weigh in with warranty considerations.
Dude! I don't know how long you've had your studio like this but it's totally legit now. The mic and background and lighting. This is exactly what I would like mine to look like.
I don't know why home batteries are so expensive, the F-150 lightning costs like $45k now but has the equivalent of 8 - 11 Powerwalls which would be about ~$90k but you get an ENTIRE truck alongside the backup power. The same is true with the Cybertruck ( however Cybertruck is more expensive ). I understand that home-batteries do work better with Solar, power more things, and work more seamlessly integrated with your home. But I just don't get where the expensive cost is coming from.
new tesla owner here… i’ve had my Model Y for about 3 months. still using my dryer outlet to charge so i could definitely put that charger to some good use. :)
I came across on TH-cam that dryer outlets and some 240 outlets can not handle being plugged and unplugged often and can cause a short and melt. You may want to do an upgrade.
You are the first person to install, review, and explain the powershare product that I have seen on YT. It sounds like Foundation Series owners can get mixed results depending on where you live, regarding the powershare being installed. What was the difference between your previous tesla charger and the one that was installed? How do you know if you have the right charger already?
3:10 Thanks so much for asking (and answering!) this question. This is going to motivate me to get my Powerwall 3 cluster sooner than later. 6x Powerwall (6*13.5) + 1x Cybertruck is 81kWh + 123 kWh ==> 204 kWh. That's a comfortable 3 days of backup for me with full appliance usage (reverse osmosis water purification, 2 HVACs, septic system, electric dryer, dehumidifiers, and air purifiers).
Nice video I am hoping they retroactively enable powershare for the model 3.This would be so much better supplementing a whole home Powerwall back up system instead of it being a standalone partial back up system
Lots of good info in this video Chris. Thanks for sharing. The community knowledge-base definitely increase with the info here. Especially the Q&A at the end. My Tesla solar and PowerWall system gain features that was never conceived when it was commissioned years ago. That’s one of the cool things with Tesla, they add more features. Looking forward to seeing what more the CT to home integration can gain. One thing I would like to add with having the CT acting as a portable PowerWall is instances where power is down and PowerWall wasn’t able to charge from solar due to a storm. You can at least drive the truck to a charging site that still has power. Then bring that power back home to power the house through the night.
This is by far the best feature of the CT, which is basically a rolling powerwall/generator. I hope Tesla enables/adds this feature to the rest of the lineup (as I own a Model Y and Model 3 w/a CT on order 🤔). Everything is running off the main panel (which makes the install easier). Awesome setup 👏🏻👏🏻. RIVIAN are you guys seeing this?, The R1’s need this!!
Thx Chris your video is really helpful! Just got the email from Qmerit and was able to link up with my local electrician, Accel Electric, here in Las Vegas.
I would love to have your old charger! I have a cybertruck using the reg outlet mobile charger 😢i can only use it every other day lol…i have paid over 8k in vet bills since owning the cybertruck or i would of got it.
So a 19% share of your Cybertruck battery was giving you a days worth of home power. Just to put into perspective that must be around 60 miles of driving, so demand and draw on the battery is much lower than the load for driving. Great to hear that Tesla are looking to add more functionality and that if you have a Powerwall installation is simplified. Hope that this can be rolled out to other Tesla models.
11:47 Notice the direction of the lights. When charging your car the green beam "travels" DOWN into the car. When PowerSharing into your home, the green beam "travels" UP into your home.
Great vid with good information. Thank you. I just bought my Tesla a month ago (Model 3). Not a Cybertruck sadly. Would not mind having your wall adapter if you are getting rid of it. Keep up the great videos!
Excellent video Chris! I have a question I haven't been able to get an answer to and I'm wondering if you can ask Trout about it. If a customer has an already existing solar and battery backup system for their home that is NOT made by Tesla, such as Enphase batteries in my case, can I still get powershare to work after taking delivery of a Cybertruck if the electricians add the Gateway and universal Connector to my existing system? I'm sure many other people are in this situation as well and it would be strange if the homeowner couldn't buy and use powershare because they have another brand of batteries for home backup. Thanks for any input you may have!
I just got my Model Y the end of May. I did my own 14-50 hubbell install but would love to have an actual wall charger its my 49 birthday Thursday. When I did the wiring run I built it with the hopes I could get a Tesla Wall charger by just swapping it in when the time comes.
11:45 it actually looks like the green pulse is moving in an opposite direction of normal. I have a gen 3 and I know the green pulse starts at the top and moves down. Here it looks like the pulse starts at the cable side and moves up, indicating power is coming from the cable.
@@EverydayChris I wonder if there's something hardware wise with the Cybertruck that none of the other models can PowerShare. It's a really cool feature. I've been looking at adding solar panels and/or a power wall, but if there's a software update that the Model 3 can PowerShare with the new universal wall connector, that might be interesting. Also, I really like your content and just subscribed! I'm filming a bunch of Tesla stuff as a TV meteorologist that made the switch to EV.
Been watching a couple of your videos since you Rivian R2 video. The more videos I watched, I realized “Wait a minute, this guys lives in the same community as I in North Irvine!” 😅. So many familiar locations in your videos.
I would really like this wall charger as I just got my first ev and first Tesla but only have the slow wall outlet charger. I commute my Tesla to work so I would really appreciate this
Great Video Chris! Ive been waiting for a video to see how this all works, nicely done. You could also use the NEMA 14/50 in the rear of the Cyber truckto backfeed your panel if you have a interlock and a NEMA 14/50 generator socket connected to a 50amp breaker, but it's very manual. Please pop me in the hat for the power charger. Thanks
You may not of noticed or it may just be the filming frame rate but when the truck is powering your house and the green light on the wall connector shows it charging it is actually going backwards. On mine the green light goes from the top of the charger down to the cable when charging signifying that the power is coming from the charger going to the truck. It looked like your charger was going from cable or the bottom to the top signifying the power coming from the cybertruck going into the home. Just another neat feature along with the purple on the truck and charger.
Not lucky enough to have electric dryer outlet as it’s gas. But the breaker is right next to the car so if I had your charger I could put it in quite easily and in my present situation it’s the only way I could afford it. The standard house outlet charging is killing me. Local to you and can pick it up.
Hey Chris, like your videos the one on camping with your dogs was fun. If the charger is available I need it , buying my first tesla and everything adds up.
I just watched this video, and you mention in the video you are getting rid of the current TESLA wall charger and to subscribe and leave a comment if interested. I do not currently have a tesla wall charger and am very interested. I Love your videos. Bought my first TESLA model Y performance in April. Your videos have helped me to decide the best settings, accessories to get and helped me to understand the ins and out of charging when going on a long road trip, which I plan on doing in the near future. Thank you! Keep the videos coming.
Great video Chris. Nice to know as I live in Southwest Florida and been dragging my feet on configuring cybertruck. Really waiting for none foundation series order. Would purchase your system at another time but would definitely need that to power AC since it’s brutal here especially in the summer
New Model 3 owner and would love your charger as I do not have one yet. The 110v charger is impractical so the supercharger is my only current option. First time viewing and I indeed liked and subscribed to the channel. Looking forward to seeing more content.
Great to see the V2H in action it is quite impressive. And having so many kWh available is great. We have Powerwalls and Solar and really like it. The takeover is so fast the TV and computers are not effected. But had the V2G been available I would have been tempted to go that way and use the Power in our X and 3. Hopefully Tesla will bring V2G on all their vehicle by the time we need to replace the Powerwalls.
If you have a Powerwall installed with solar panels, the Tesla app has a setting to which you can direct excess solar production exclusively to your Tesla vehicle. it's called "Charge On Solar".
Universal wall connector is showing the led lights going the opposite direction that it normally cycles when it is charging. It is going to opposite direction when you are running off from the cybertruck.
My installer was able to include microwave and oven but not the AC due to LRA limitation. I’m sure you have a sub panel inside that powers everything outside of main panel that has your AC Oven and Solar.
Not sure if you covered it, but besides getting the permit, did the install and activating have to be coordinated with the county or utility company? I'm thinking of how when I got solar panels installed, a lot of the paperwork waiting and eventual permission to turn on was on the county permitting side.
Hi Chris. Love your videos. Very interesting how the Powershare works... really neat. I'll take your old wall connector. I live in Orange County and can pick it up :)
I understand the universal charger and the gateway comes with foundation series also $2500 to purchase equipments, what other equipments do you need for the installation which can be purchased with Tesla credits also how much does it cost to you, I see you haven’t replied to previous comments on the cost but if you can give us a ballpark estimate that would be nice.
What is the maximum load (amps at 120v/240v) you can have on when the cyber truck is powering your house. In other words how many watts is the inverter rated for?
I would like to see, not only solar integration (solar stays on inside the gateway like with a powerwall during an outage), but the ability with a powerwall to combine the powerwall inverter kw capacity with the truck 11kw capacity and the solar capacity to cover all the breakers on the panel. Put my name in the hat for the wall charger.
Looks like there's still a lot of work needed for PowerShare to match the capabilities of a Powerwall installation. As it's implemented now, CT with PowerShare will unlikely take away market share from Powerwall. Maybe that's by design, especially since PowerShare supposedly works with any homes with Powerwalls. It would be interesting to know if Tesla will allow PowerShare to participate in VPP and send stored power back to the grid during extreme demand periods in the future. Perhaps that's possible for homes that already have Powerwalls?
Love the video and super jealous. Curious about the fact your breakers are on the outside of your house. So anyone or the elements can turn the power off any time?
![ILLSLICK X YOUNGOHM - We're The same [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yUJNkobYR0E/mqdefault.jpg)
Just another thing from an electrician who’s been around for 45 years or so, I never turn off a main breaker with loads on it, every time you exercise a breaker with a load on it there’s gonna be a good sized arc inside that breaker.
So to minimize any excessive damage to large breakers, unless it’s absolutely necessary to flip that large breaker with a full load on it, I always turn off the smaller loads first and then cycle the big breaker.
⚠️ And one more safety tip:
Breakers are made out of hard plastic and can crack if there is a failure of this breaker while you’re turning it on or off that energy can flash out of the panel straight at you, just go look at arc flash accidents on TH-cam ⚡️💥
So for safety reasons, you always stand to the side when you’re flipping breakers and look away because you want to save your eyes at the minimum, thereby if anything goes boom it’s going to blow out the front of the panel, but not straight into you, stay safe out there and let’s push these manufacturers like the Hyundai iconic to make them all accessible for 110 V or like the lightning pick up truck or other vehicles all EV should have 110 V power available 15 amp circuit.

I wish they did. I think with other models you need that AC inverter which only the CT has built in. So they would have to build a box for it
I have a powerwall+ which has a built in inverter so I think that could be used. 🤞🤞
Trout Electric did my Tesla Wall charger installation back in 2018 and they did an awesome job! 😊
Nice!!

How about solar panel charging your Cybertruck if no consumption from household?
If you have a Powerwall installed with solar panels, the Tesla app has a setting to which you can direct excess solar production exclusively to your Tesla vehicle. it's called "Charge On Solar".
Universal wall connector is showing the led lights going the opposite direction that it normally cycles when it is charging. It is going to opposite direction when you are running off from the cybertruck.
Moving into a new house soon, wouldn't mind that charger ;)
Hey Chris keep up the work! Would love to upgrade my nema plug
Tesla prob doesnt want people to diy their installations and potentially burning down their house. Put me down for the wall charger 🔌 ⚡️ Chris.
Great video, clear and to the point, packed with useful info.
My installer was able to include microwave and oven but not the AC due to LRA limitation. I’m sure you have a sub panel inside that powers everything outside of main panel that has your AC Oven and Solar.
Electrician dude is a total natural on camera 💪🏼
Love your videos! I'd love your old Wall Connector!
Good video,
You are one of the reasons we have a model Y on order. Keep up the good work
Nice video, I don't want the wall charger, I'm all set buddy.
Moving to socal soon and need a homecharging solution!
Love your videos!
Not sure if you covered it, but besides getting the permit, did the install and activating have to be coordinated with the county or utility company? I'm thinking of how when I got solar panels installed, a lot of the paperwork waiting and eventual permission to turn on was on the county permitting side.
Not for us!
Hi Chris. Love your videos. Very interesting how the Powershare works... really neat. I'll take your old wall connector. I live in Orange County and can pick it up :)
I’d love the wall charger! 🙋🏻♀️
Great info mate ! Thank you !
I would greatly appreciate the wall charger❤
Nice video! How much do you want for your old charger?
Picking up my Model Y tomorrow and could definitely give that charger a new home :).
Hi, how are you able to see the solar coming in your house without a power wall?🤔
Would using it as a home battery, would it void your warranty?
Thanks for the video. Wondering if you still cannot do the whole 4-9 switch yet?
correct. Got an email till end of year I'll get a new software update but nothing yet
Yes please, I want your old wall charger. Thank you.
Chris, need a new charger. My 4 year charger just broke. Thanks!!
Pass the wall charger to me big dawg 😂
Nice video. I'm interested in taking your old wall connector. Thanks!
How did you get your SolarEdge inverter to communicate with the Tesla app???
it just did it when I first got solar. I think there's another gateway near my router that needs to connect
@@EverydayChris ah, that explains... sadly I don't have that :/
Just use a cutout switch on your home power input and turn off the power coming to your house to use powershare when electricity is more expensive
I understand the universal charger and the gateway comes with foundation series also $2500 to purchase equipments, what other equipments do you need for the installation which can be purchased with Tesla credits also how much does it cost to you, I see you haven’t replied to previous comments on the cost but if you can give us a ballpark estimate that would be nice.
Just the uni charger and the gateway is all you need. Depending on how complicated it is the electrician can charge for more stuff
@@EverydayChris ok is that $2500 credit for the gateway?
What is the maximum load (amps at 120v/240v) you can have on when the cyber truck is powering your house. In other words how many watts is the inverter rated for?
I would like to see, not only solar integration (solar stays on inside the gateway like with a powerwall during an outage), but the ability with a powerwall to combine the powerwall inverter kw capacity with the truck 11kw capacity and the solar capacity to cover all the breakers on the panel. Put my name in the hat for the wall charger.
Great job on the video
Looks like there's still a lot of work needed for PowerShare to match the capabilities of a Powerwall installation. As it's implemented now, CT with PowerShare will unlikely take away market share from Powerwall. Maybe that's by design, especially since PowerShare supposedly works with any homes with Powerwalls.
It would be interesting to know if Tesla will allow PowerShare to participate in VPP and send stored power back to the grid during extreme demand periods in the future. Perhaps that's possible for homes that already have Powerwalls?
Have you found a lock for the PowerShare gateway?
not yet.. it doesnt seem like it can be locked maybe due to local laws needing to turn off power in case of an emergency
Love the video and super jealous. Curious about the fact your breakers are on the outside of your house. So anyone or the elements can turn the power off any time?
I think it’s a safety issue in case there’s a fire and they have to turn it off? I have a lock on mine
Could I please, power wall charging 🙏
Tesla solar roof and power walls are the future off the grid energy source at least until we get compact fusion.
Hey Chris which tire pump did you recommend? I want one that I can set the PSI and go. Have you tried the HOTO?
Thanks for sharing, very interesting. Loving my new Model Y.
