One California family's system actually survived a wildfire - their "battery bunker" became the neighborhood charging station. Talk about street cred!

While the upfront investment might make your wallet flinch (average $12,000-$20,000), consider:
As one New Yorker put it: "My Powerwall paid for itself in blackout prevention alone - no more spoiled $400 fridge loads!"
Hurricane Sandy survivors reported the weirdest post-storm must-haves:
