Post: "Product Safety Report: Tesla Powerwall 2 (2609-0219)"

Extracted from these lines
[comment u/Matterbox] I’ve replaced a handful of these in the last week. We’ve replaced 10 so far. Tesla are sending units out in a timely fashion and paying a pittance to do the exchange.
“I know of someone who's Powerwall was remotely bricked overnight by Tesla due to this early last month, as of yet, they still have no date from Tesla to replace. Anyone who made an open source BESS with COTS battery packs etc. akin to commercial UPS systems would have my money in an instant.”

“I’ve replaced a handful of these in the last week. We’ve replaced 10 so far. Tesla are sending units out in a timely fashion and paying a pittance to do the exchange. The upside is you get a brand new powerwall 3. My fingers are crossed my unit gets recalled.”

“Mine was shut off in may and was replaced with a couple of months. Unfortunately was during the heat wave when it was down but got a brand new pw3 out of it”
