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. Support for Powerwall 2 and Powerwall Plus is coming soon, and availability is currently listed for the US and Puerto Rico only; the Cybertruck still offers longer backup claims and exclusive grid support features. » Altro su theverge.com

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt is reviewing the RDW documents and plans its own tests; technical and liability issues, as well as concerns about speed and driver attention, remain unresolved. » Altro su heise.de

Revenue from energy storage grew less strongly than expected; analysts warn of a high valuation and stress that future growth depends on FSD, robotaxis and the implementation of AI. The stock reacted with a pronounced rise and exceeded several key moving averages. » Altro su deraktionaer.de
