If properly sized and installed it's the closest to seamless backup power you will find. Extremely low maintenance. User friendly adjustable preferences with real time monitoring data

We find it to be a seamless backup solution. We live in a smaller town and the electricity is not as reliable as in Houston. When we lose the grid here, most times we are not even aware. The Tesla app keeps track of that and has a report that I review every once in a while.

Another nice feature is that when a storm is forecast, Tesla will automatically ensure that the batteries are maxed out.

Finally, we recently (yesterday) started using Tesla's Energy company. They buy electricity on the open market during off peak hours and then sell it during peak times. We are hoping to make a few bucks from this as well.
