Tesla Receives 38,000 Pre-Orders for the PowerWall Home Battery System

Ilon Musk, Tesla Motors CEO, said the company has already received 38,000 pre-orders for its new product, the PowerWall home battery system, reports The Verge .



“The reaction was stunning, just crazy,” said Musk. Also, according to Tesla, about 2500 pre-orders of the PowerPack were made. The real figure for the sale is much higher - it is 25,000 PowerPacks, since each pre-order, on average, is made on 10 such devices.



“The volume of demand is staggering,” said Musk. The figures, announced by the CEO of the company, sound just fine, however, such a serious early success in sales may be associated with excessive expectations of consumers. “In any case, we will not be able to satisfy all the demand this year,” Musk admitted, “the main sales are scheduled for the first half of next year.”

Two new products of the company, PowerWall and his older brother, PowerPack, were presented to the general public just a week ago. The first system, PowerWall, is designed for private clients and is designed to reduce energy costs and increase the energy efficiency of households. PowerPack is the older brother of PowerWall. His target audience is business and enterprises, including large ones. The really active sales of systems will begin with the commissioning of the so-called "Gigafabrika" Tesla batteries in the state of Nevada.
