"For homeowners, the Tesla Powerwall will have a power capacity of either 10 kilowatt hours or 7 kilowatt hours, at a cost of either $ 3,500 or $ 3,000. The company says these are the costs for suppliers and don’t include the cost of installation and a power inverter, so customers could pay considerably more than that."

So lets say $10,000 for an up and running out the door unit.

My average electric and gas bill is less than $50 a month. $600 a year = 16.66 years until break even.

I'll be dead or in gaga land by then. Not for me even if I was 30.

I REALLY hope Munch doest go belly up with Tesla and bankrupt Space X in the process of screwing around with his for rich people only electric fantasies.

Not that manned space flight makes any sense. It will when it can make money...and not money from the wealthy.
