EP 74 - Tesla’s Next Passive Income Play Is Genius | It’s NOT Robotaxis

All right, let's get right into it because Model 3 and Model Y can now potentially power your home.

And I say potentially because there are a couple things that you need for this to happen.

There is a little bit of a catch.

So all Model 3s, all Model Ys that were ordered after October 1st of 2026, really in the last week, are now capable of Powershare.

This is something Tesla has teased for a very long time.

A lot of other automakers ha- have offered this and are, are making this available in their EVs.

Tesla only had this available for the Cybertruck.

Now the Model 3 and the Model Y have the hardware on board, provided you ordered after October 1st.

Although they're saying check your settings because there is a chance the last few kind of making the run here in the last end of, uh, September would potentially have this feature as well.

But you're then able to essentially plug in as you would normally to charge your car at home, but then it would be able to power your home in the event of an outage.

And of course, the battery of a Model 3 and Y between 78 and 88 kilowatt hours, so you're getting upwards of six Powerwall equivalents from there.

When you get a Cybertruck, it's about nine Powerwall equivalents of batteries that are on board.

So this really makes what is Tesla's best-selling car, the Model Y, give it an incredible reason to, to upgrade to this new version now because you're basically getting free power with it.

You know, it's disappointing because we have the launch Model Y Juniper, and we do not have this in there.

And I feel kind of, like, upset a little bit about that.

[laughs]

And by the way, specifically if you did wanna go in and check your vehicle, you go to Controls, Software, Additional Vehicle Information, and inside of that is where you'll see if it says Powershare support or not.

Yes.

Um, so we don't have this in our Juniper, although we did get some other good things inside of that, like FSD for life with the Juniper launch series.

Which is rare.

I was looking into this yesterday.

FSD for life is not something Tesla gives very often.

And the Juniper launch, that very early run of it back in February to March of 2025 got them, and we got one of them as well.

Yeah.

So if you're feeling left out, remember that-
