Though I don't doubt that Teslas could be engineered to power a home, it doesn't make sense for them to officially support it as a feature. At most, it would power your home for a day before needing to be recharged, so you would need solar panels or a gasoline generator to recharge it. At that point, you would already have a home battery system in the first place, or you would just power your home with the generator directly. Plus, you would need to have transfer panels set up to power things that are hard-wired, like lights, HVAC, pumps, etc. At that point, it doesn't make sense to adapt a system designed to move a car to work with a house.
