I'm not a big lover, or was not, of Steve Jobs, but Elon needs some polish on his keynotes.
This product is interesting, but I'd like to see the design of a model house using these, and test it for a family. How many solar panels would you need, how many Powerwalls. How must other equipment and how complicated would it be.
If it was winter, could you heat your house with solar energy ... I think that would probably be a no, but electricity is not a good power source for heating.
And what about summer, could you cool your home with solar energy. That might be doable, but you would need a lot of power during the day, and so a lot of panels to power the A/C and also charge the powerwall for night. Then ... what about storage for those few days where you might not get any sun?
I think a simulation of model of a house really needs to be made to show people what this is capable of.
