http://www.theverge.com/2015/2/11/8023443/tesla-home-consumer-battery-elon-muskMusk is going to produce a battery that can power your house. Both Toyota and Nissan say their batter packs can power your house. With that kind of battery, you can charge the battery with solar, or use grid power in the middle of the night when electricity prices are lowest. This could massively reduce everyone's electricity bills. It also means we're not far off of everyone actually being off the grid if they so desire.

Slow down, pal. Wait until you have to replace and dispose of the old battery and see what that costs.
Better wait for the next round of cold fusion.

For a hunting camp, alone, this concept is a game-changer.

Not to mention the batteries, inverter, charger and getting it all hooked up isn't exactly going to be free.
Without government subsidies, few people are going to be dropping $20k on a battery system and another $10k on a solar panel to charge it to save $100-200 /month on their electric bill.

This thing is supposed to run an electric furnace and water pump? Not without an acre of solar panels. There's no free lunch.

Tesla Motors Inc. continued to report big losses as it invests heavily in factories and new models to solidify its growth.
The Palo Alto electric car company reported a loss of $107.6 million in the fourth quarter, up from a loss of $16.3 million in the same period a year earlier. For all of last year, Tesla lost $294 million compared with $74 million in the prior year.
Tesla’s revenue continues to soar, however, jumping 56% for the quarter to $956.7 million and 59% to $3.2 billion for the year. The growth reflects its ramping up production of its Model S sport sedan to tap overseas markets. The Model S has an average sales price of about $100,000.
Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk blamed the losses on a “delivery shortfall” caused by several factors.

meh if the grid goes down, I'll just move out to my 29ft jayco parked under the tractor shed, 600 gallons of propane, in the yard tank, generator and a couple of deep cycle batteries. If it comes to that.

I like the idea of using the charge stations at work to power your own home.

I am still trying to figure out how you have two years in a row that loose almost 1/3 of a BILLION dollars and keep the doors open.......what senators are they blowing?
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

If the battery is that good someone will buy it and hide the technology.

Employees at many big Silicon Valley tech companies already enjoy free charging stations at their office parking lot. Now imagine if they could use that juice to eliminate their home electric bill.
This is an energy conservation strategy that flat out makes sense. Travis
