> I think they're saying that the cost of a power wall and the F150 were basically the same,

A pair of Power Walls costs about $25K. Surely a Lightning is more than that?

A powerwall is only 13.5 kW-h. Less capacity than my Chevy Volt.

A F150 is minimum 98kW-h.

Powerwall gets a 30% federal tax credit (plus possible locks, state, or utility rebates). Vehicles receive a lesser EV subsidy ($7500 or roughly 15% assuming $50k purchase price).

I mean, sure? I'll take your word for it, I'm not in the United States so this is of no relevance to me.
