Tesla Helps Compute and Energy Customers Make Money

• https://www.nextbigfuture.com, by Brian Wang

I had an article about Tesla creating Virtual AI Cloud Computers (VCC) that operate like the Virtual Power Plant for Power walls.

Elon Musk indicates that the FSD computers that are in all Tesla cars can be used to run AI models. This will enable Tesla car owners to share in the revenue of a Virtual Cloud Compute (VCC). VCC will be like a compute version of the Powerwall Virtual Power Plant. Through the Emergency Load Reduction Program (ELRP), homeowners receive $2.00 for every additional kWh their Powerwall delivers during an event.

In Texas, Tesla Electric members who meet the eligibility criteria will automatically become a part of the Virtual Power Plant. While participating in the Virtual Power Plant, your Powerwall will be dispatched when the grid needs support. For your participation, you will earn $10 per Powerwall on your monthly electric bill, in exchange for your Powerwall's contribution. This $10 per Powerwall is in addition to your monthly Sellback Credits earned for energy that you send back to the grid. You do not have to compromise your energy security to participate.

Cern Basher calculates Tesla HW3 car owners could make about $400 per year participating in a VCC and to about $1000 per year using HW4.
