Tesla now has the Powershare feature for the Cybertruck allowing bi-directional flow to act as a home backup. The system uses a Gateway which acts as the MID and is basically a 200A transfer switch. When grid fails, the truck becomes the power source for connected loads. (48A 240V AC). When grid signal is good, EV can charge.
Tesla only has one wiring option for homes with 3rd party backup (battery systems, generators, or both). They essentially want everything to run as two independent systems, each feeding separate load panels. (see snip). This is obviously not a great option for anyone wanting everything to operate as one system.
Trying to figure out how to implement this with the Gridboss. Wondering if the whole thing could just connect to a smart port, but not sure if the smart ports can be programmed to be bi-directional and switch flow direction based on whether grid is up or down. IE: Grid up, smart port acts as a load to charge the EV... Grid down, smart port allows EV to act as an AC coupled source. Then there is the issue of how the Tesla gateway distinguishes between whether grid is up or down
