This was offered to SolarCity customers in late 2014, I see that the image here http://www.solarcity.com/residential/backup-power-supply now reflects Tesla branding.

Thing looks like a giant Apple Magic Mouse[1] bolted to your wall.

Iinteresting how they are branding it as a backup solution, while Tesla is branding it as a complete replacement.

"What if we could move the electricity grid off of fossil fuels" (Tesla)

vs

"Be prepared the next time the power goes out."(Solar City)

"Models

10 kWh $3,500 For backup applications

7 kWh $3,000 For daily cycle applications"

From http://www.teslamotors.com/powerwall

Maybe Solar City has been using the ones meant for daily cycle - that would make sense.
