Who Controls the Battery in Your Driveway?
Tesla brought home power backup to America. In Australia, an update is switching it off.
AI Summary
Tesla introduced home power‑backup features in the United States, including Powershare integration with its Powerwall system. In Australia, a recent software update appears to disable the third‑party gear that owners use to power their homes, effectively turning the feature off. The change highlights a test case for who truly controls the battery installed in a driveway. Mark Purcell, an electrical engineer and energy advocate from Noosa Heads who owns two Teslas and a bidirectional DC charger, has been monitoring the issue and has contributed to CleanTechnica on the topic.
