I wish tesla would do these batteries under a different name. It confuses and harms the brand. Unless their focus in the future will be batteries and the cars a side project.
- sidcool 11y agoIn a recent article I read that Tesla is basically a battery company that also produces cars using the batteries they produce.
- baldfat 11y agoHaving a UPS for your home which you can charge with Solar or Wind will be the future for many houses, but I don't see this working for most people till the prices per k/w drops bellow the cost for the electricity.
- icebraining 11y agoOr the cost of electricity raises above their prices per k/w (e.g. due to rising carbon taxes). That said, home batteries are just one market for Tesla. There are plenty of use cases for good batteries.
- sandstrom 11y agoIt requires more care to manage the brand, but I wouldn't say it's undoable. Rolls-Royce have held cars, nuclear and other energy solutions under one brand. Similarly Saab has made both cars and fighter jets. Yes, currently these are under different legal entities and they only share the brand. But it worked well during the decades they were under the same umbrella.
- return0 11y agoI think it's a good thing. If the batteries are really good, future cars by other manufacturers will boast having a 'tesla battery'.
- loceng 11y agoApple has a lot of products, just to highlight as a comparable example.
