Other than being an exercise in semantics, “the grid” in relation to THIS forum means “electrical grid” and pretty much everyone in this section understands that.

This is the “tesla energy” section, not the “energy, environment and policy” section of TMC. That section is here:

Energy, Environment, and Policy

In this part of TMC, the focus is on Tesla energy products, and how they compete / etc with other products. This is not the section for general “what is green?” discussions. The forum I referred to is for that.

Your question is a fair one, for that section. Here, in “Tesla Energy” since there are no “tesla energy” products that are gas, it is understood that the term off grid means not pulling directly from the electrical grid.
