PHYSIX OBSERVATION

V2H has trickled down from pickups to volume-selling models, but the requirement of pairing with Powerwall 3 shows Tesla wants to sell an energy ecosystem beyond just cars. For users, it is a practical safeguard during outages; for the industry, it is another signal of automakers pushing into the home energy gateway, and energy storage bundling may become a new competitive dimension for EVs.
