And after all, <you're> my Powerwall!! Musk gives away more patents.

Mercedes-Benz takes on Tesla with a home battery of its own:

Each pack only holds 2.5kWh of electricity, but you can combine up to eight of them to hold 20kWh, or twice as much as a Powerwall.

The Powerwall can also combine multiple units providing up to 90 kWh. Whoever wrote that article isn't very on top of things.

Only way to buy this would be to make it an incentive to make electrical power worse by cutting customer service and support so we can then buy Mr. Musks tech

Really good to see competition in the cheap battery field. From what I was reading Powerwall was -significantly- cheaper than anything close to it.

It's great these are modular, but so is Powerwall. I think you can hook up a max of three of them, which is more than the MB system.
