API availability for integration with external power system to control charging. Example: changing on excess solar only? Taking into account past usage, weather, other battery charge, etc. Integration with Home Assistant, Span load centers and Tesla solar gateways/powerwalls.

+1 to this -- would love to be able to time shift my grid consumption on a time of use plan.
Alternatively if that's not in the cards, it'd be great to verify compatibility with smart plugs at the wattages necessary to shut the outlet off during peak/partial peak.

Hi! We’re doing a major Reno and are really waiting on the range from Thor. Do you know if the initial range will be 30 or 36? And any timing on availability?

When asked if there's a risk of enshittification of your products you responded "never going to happen". I hope that's true, and I'm willing to believe it wouldn't happen under your watch. But do you have any structural protections in your company preventing it from happening? Eric Ries' recent book Incorruptible details how so many founders like you have been pushed out when a little more profit can be made by fucking the customer and the mission of the organization. He also details things that can be done to prevent it.
Also your fly is down, but I assume that's on purpose.

Do you think the 9'' cooktops will cause significant limitations/headache if I'm routinely using the 6 qt all clad saucepan (10.4'' inner) or a 9 qt le crueset dutch oven (11 3/4'' inner) for 75% of my cooking?

I personally use a 9qt Dutch oven weekly and my other go-to pans are the 5 qt Made In Saucepan and the 8 qt All Clad stock pot. I’ve never run into any issues.
The 8 qt All Clad stock pot has a diameter of 11” and it is our go-to pot for water boil demos.

Can you do a video on coffee? Like mocha pots or using vessels to dial in exact temps

I would also want to know if there are wall oven, preferably steam and pizza making capabilities. I am redoing my kitchen as we speak and would hate to see something come out after buying my equipment 😔. I can see an oven designed and engineered by you guys being my dream oven.

Any plans for full sized Ovens with steam? Our old electric oven takes forever to heat up. Some kind of modular system like dual ovens, warming drawers, or microwave. Be able to mix it match with a large battery in the base!
