Tesla has expanded its Powershare Home Backup feature to allow some Model 3 and Model Y vehicles to supply home power when paired with Powerwall 3, extending backup to over two days for Premium and Performance models. The feature was previously limited to the Cybertruck and Tesla says Home Backup will work only on Model 3/Y units ordered from Oct 1 onward because older cars may lack the required PCS2 Lite inverter.
