Anyone know of a jail break for Tesla’s PowerWall?
My understanding is the battery/inverter will go into something like safe mode after a certain number of days of not being able to call home. I haven’t been able to confirm or deny this but I do know Tesla doesn’t like you interacting with the battery directly.
Worst case scenario you can bypass whichever circuit board is controlling that logic. It could be the inverter itself or some other board but either way the batteries themselves are fine. Inverters and control boats are relatively compared to the price of batteries.
Sure it is. There is a connection from the battery string to some kind of controller. If you disconnect that and reconnect it to one of a dozen generic controllers designed to work with battery strings from various manufacturers it will work just fine.

I am not sure it’s that easy.

I’d be very interested in hearing the outcome of this
Me too
