Most of the people that "put their faith" in Tesla's first product had more money to burn then 95% of the rest of the country. So even if the model S didn't work out they would find ways to "write it off" in their tax returns.
Yet Tesla didn't continue only producing their "first" product but have made changes to not only improve the performance but lower the cost. So why would their first "home storage" product be the greatest first time out?
A Lithion battery system is fine for an automobile or high discharge applications but IMO too expensive for what a homeowner needs or uses as a power backup system.
For those of you that can't install a fossil fuel emergency generator, I truly wish for the battery technology you need to become available soon at a cost you can afford. But for those that can install a gen set I say wait on the Telsa home energy storage system until it is a little more proven.
