Cool! By the time the lead-acid batteries in my folks' solar setup need to be replaced, they may be able to get one of Tesla's packs for a reasonable price! I wonder what the benefits over conventional batteries in a stationary environment would be? Weight isn't really a factor, and the size is already a "sunk cost" (their setup accommodates the current batteries). Probably would be capacity that would be the benefit.
