Cybertruck owners hoping to use their truck as a backup power source alongside a Tesla Powerwall are still waiting for the feature to arrive. After years of delays, it looks like Tesla will miss its latest timeline.
Powershare was one of the key features announced with the Cybertruck in 2023, allowing the truck’s massive 123 kWh battery pack to provide power to a home during an outage. While Tesla calls it Powershare, this feature is otherwise known as Vehicle-to-Home (V2H), and would provide a significant boost to Powerwall owners, as the Cybertruck’s battery is equivalent to around 9 Powerwall units.
This feature has been available for Cybertruck owners with certain home energy configurations, but integrating Powershare with Tesla’s Powerwall has proven more difficult, leading to numerous delays to its rollout.
Tesla originally said in October 2024 that Powershare support for homes with Powerwall would arrive sometime in 2025. That timeline came and went, with the launch later pushed back to summer 2026.
Now, with the end of that window fast approaching, Tesla appears to still not have an updated timeline, according to recent comments made by Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill on X. Responding to Cybertruck owner Joshua (@JoshuaThePilot) who asked whether there was any news on the feature’s debut, Morrill responded, but his answer didn’t instill confidence that a launch is imminent.
don't worry, I see this. Will provide an update when there is something new to share

While Morrill didn’t confirm another delay, the vague response suggests that Powershare with Powerwall integration may not arrive before the end of the summer.
A long wait for Powerwall owners
As we noted, the delay is particularly frustrating for Cybertruck owners as the truck’s battery can store well over 100 kWh of energy, potentially providing days of additional backup power beyond what their Powerwall units can provide.
Morrill’s response at least confirms the feature is still on the table and hasn’t been forgotten, but after a series of missed timelines, Cybertruck owners are once again left waiting for Tesla to follow through and deliver on their promise.
