Tesla Powerwall Kept The Lights On During Australia's Blackout
• insideevs.com by Eric LovedayBut for one Tesla owner, the blackout would've gone unnoticed had it not been for him seeing a news reports on TV, which prompted him to test out the oven that's on a separate circuit from his Tesla Powerwall unit.
73-year-old Brian Gillespie of South Australia says that he had the Powerwall unit installed in early September and recounts the recent blackout situation as follows:
"It was lovely, the power went out everywhere and then we bounced back and in fact it was quite funny because we couldn't work out if the power had actually gone out or not because all of our lights are on one circuit, so we realized when we tried the oven light."
