Tesla's Powerwall Battery a Huge Hit, Says CEO Elon Musk

Tesla Motors' first detour from making cars is an early hit just days into its debut— so much so, you probably can't get one until 2016.

The Powerwall, a battery that can power homes and businesses through storing solar power, has received 38,000 orders for homes and 2,500 for businesses.

"We are basically sold out through the middle of next year," Tesla CEO Elon Musk told Forbes.

Musk unvveiled Tesla's first major new product line beyond cars on April 30 at Tesla's Hawthorne Design Studio.
