An unspoken consequence of this is the telsa battery module secondary market. I'm mildly interested in the off-grid community and used Tesla batteries are first to nothing.
For $800 you can get a Tesla battery module, 30v and about 5kwh. Nothing else even comes close for the money.
If you're willing to do the work yourself, you can take your entire home off grid at the cost of 2 used Tesla batteries and about 2k in solar panels + the charger. About 6k for total energy independence.
The RV/vanlife community is going nuts about these batteries. The energy/weight ratio is more than 3x higher than the closest competitor. You can replace about 500lbs of deep cycle lead acid with 100lb of used Tesla packs (2) for half the money and they have close to 10x the charge/discharge cycles. The math makes them more than 30x better than anything else when you consider cost vs lifetime. It's completely insane
The tricke-down effects of Tesla's unbelievably good battery technology are being felt far beyond the world of EV's

Exciting times!
