There are many many people who spend money right now on generators as emergency power sources.
My parents are a great example of a perfect use case for this product. They live in the country, and have 5-6 significant power outages a year, usually in winter. They need a way to automatically deliver power to critical house systems: furnace, well pump, fridge, freezer. Right now they use a large portable generator, but that requires maintenance and a manual engagement. You also cannot leave it unattended for long periods of time. That basically ties them to their house in the winter months, making vacations difficult.
Lots of other markets for this type of thing too. If you have a horse or hobby farm, one of these things keeps the heat on in the barn when the power goes out.
That is a great use of Tesla Powerwall that I didn't think of. Looks like most people are thinking Powerwall would be useful only in Sun drenched ares/season. But from your case, Powerwall would be very useful everywhere even in areas without much sun.

Typical NYC based media people not getting it.
