Even if this was less expensive, could store more energy I would still purchase the home battery from Tesla if I had to make the descision.

It's so obvious that this would probably never happen without Elon and Tesla leading the way. So sad to see so many large companies with so much potential just being copycats.

It's not sad at all. It's exciting! The fact that the big companies are copying Tesla will only speed up adoption. It's further validation that Tesla is on the right path.

Yes of course, but they are simply trying to take the market from Tesla with a product that is essentially the same as theirs.

I understand that this is always going to happen but it's a bit disheartening since Mercedes is such a big company that could do some very cool stuff themselves. It seems that many big corporations just becomes copycats after a while doing what everyone else is doing.
