Linus has built his home into a tech paradise... PCs, 10-gig networking, screens everywhere, but frequent power outages keep spoiling the fun. But, we're thrifty, so why not make a Tesla-based DIY home battery backup solution? Will these scrapped Model S battery modules finally keep his house online during outages, or will he regret letting Jake tackle this?
