You'll definitely have chemical degradation within those 10 years, but even assuming $71/month over 20 years + $0.017/kwh, that's still pretty expensive for an urban environment, though may work out for suburban and rural (I pay about 11-12c/kwh in my 2br apt in Jakarta), I still think there is still plenty of future opportunity for electric utilities (esp for industrial applications that will require peaks alot higher than residential).

I really don't see costs coming down that much in the next 10 years for electrochemical batteries.

Yes, utilities seemingly will be all industrial. Their poles in residential neighborhoods could be put to good use offering other high value services.

I wonder if Tesla should buy some of these large publicly traded utilities, like APS.
