There are T&Cs like usage caps that make these deals much less valuable than the marketing conveys.

Interesting idea! I read caminante's comment about usage caps in context and I'd check before purchasing a powerwall but even if caps were in place with our deal; the powerwall could be nice as a sort of home UPS.

I was looking at it for that use myself, but unfortunately power supply in my area but iirc either the differential in price didn't actually make a ROI or the pricing didn't fluctuate =(
