I have researched this extensively and there is no known way to make this work. And, even if you did it would be at the expense of your warranty protection on the truck and Tesla system.

Is this the one that is included with the Founders series Cybertruck? Does it come with a CCS plug as an option? I figured that would solely be NACS.

Not sure how that would work. As I I understand the setup with the Cybertruck, the system uses the inverter on the truck. Fords system installs an inverter in the home. I think Tesla's system is superior in this aspect and have no idea how that could work with our trucks.

So has Tesla told you that your F150 can power your home through their Powerwall/inverter/charger?

Here you go. All work done using local people. Tesla did not have anything to do with the install. New main panel. New sub panel for 20 circuits protected by the new PowerWall. SunRun sucks but we are installed and working as expected

I'm in final approval with my set up
I'm going back and forth with Telsa and telsa certified contractor.
The electrical contractor(local) guy is awesome but Tesla ( California) needs to get out of the office and see the real word construction.

Great install! I like how you covered up all the wires to the gateway and sort of recessed the cans.
Do you have any pics of the charger wies connected to the PW?
Did they use the DC wires from the charger?
Is there a communication wire from charger to gateway?

So I just want to be sure I understand this Kevin22 installed The powerwall 3 and is able to have the same functionality as the Ford/Sunrun HIS? I ask because I just had my FCSP installed and I am currently in the process of adding solar and would like to have the ability to use the truck as a back up, power source in the set up!
