Elon Musk is now offering assistance to the State of Texas who has been hit with one of the nastiest winter storms it experienced, with the Tesla Powerwall aiming to provide electricity and power essential needs. The CEO also mentioned that people need to bring up the concerns and ask for assistance to be "helpful in other ways."
The popular electric vehicle manufacturer and clean energy company, Tesla, has been offering a massive new option for electricity sources and that is by the use of the Powerwall, which could power the entire house. Now, regular electricity lines are experiencing one of the worst storms it saw in the year and it struggles to provide electricity and heating to the people.
Since the winter season's last remaining weeks are here, it has been raining down hard for the states that observe the four seasons, resulting in widescale power outages and people stuck at home during blizzards.

Users Report Tesla Powerwall to Have 'No Power Loss' or Outage in Winter Storm
On the other hand, a Twitter user from Texas has reported that despite the massive power loss in the state and area, then switch to using renewable energy, particularly Tesla's Powerwall, has helped during this crisis. A Twitter user called Michelle (@Michelle4Texla) shared that their street reported almost six times of power outage in the last two days.
We lost power on my street 6 times in 2 days. But because of my Tesla Powerwalls I never lost power. And AMAZING that even with my Tesla Solar Shingle Roof covered in ice it still was able to produce energy. Thank you Elon and team!@AustinTeslaClub @elonmusk #solarenergy pic.twitter.com/5KjP6m6hgu

However, thanks to the Tesla Powerwall which they have installed and been using before the storm, the user reported that not even once, did they lose power. The continuous power also continued despite the user's Solar Roof being covered in snow and ice, which should have made it difficult to gather power and maintain electricity in the household.
