Predictika · Tesla Model Y and home energy quotes

An AI sales agent's Model Y quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent drafts a quote for a Tesla Model Y with home energy add-ons: a trim, paint, interior, wheels and tow hitch, plus a Wall Connector and Powerwall 3 install, for a retail customer or a fleet. Before the quote goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model, compares the total and range the agent states with the ones it computes, and returns every finding together with the line-item quote.

Scope: US Tesla Model Y orders with Wall Connector and Powerwall 3 home energy add-ons: trims, options, towing, range, fleet terms, discounts, home panel and Powerwall sizing. See everything this validator covers

This validator covers quotes for the US Tesla Model Y vehicle order together with home-energy add-ons (the Wall Connector and the Powerwall 3), not Tesla's other vehicle lines or standalone commercial energy products:

  • Model Y vehicle configuration — which paint and interior each trim offers, the 20-inch wheels being Premium-only, the tow hitch not being offered on the Standard trims, trailer weight against the hitch and the tow rating, the range the customer needs against the rated range (less the 20-inch wheels), and the end of the one-time Full Self-Driving purchase and of the federal clean vehicle credit.
  • Deal terms — retail pricing being fixed, the 5-vehicle fleet minimum, discount authority (3 percent for an advisor, 7 percent maximum for a fleet), and delivery lead time against the requested weeks, with a delivery-center expedite approval.
  • Wall Connector and Powerwall 3 installs — spare capacity in the home panel for a Wall Connector (with an approval for a reduced charge rate), Powerwall ownership (owner or renter), the per-home unit limit, solar size against the Powerwall inverter capacity, whole-home backup sizing by service amperage, install lead time, the ended 30 percent residential clean energy credit, the vehicle-plus-Powerwall bundle promotion, and the total and range the agent states.

Any Model Y order, with or without a Wall Connector or Powerwall 3 add-on, that combines the trims, paints, interiors, options and home-energy choices in this model runs through this validator, not just the seven scenarios shown on this page. It does not cover other Tesla vehicles, solar-only systems or energy products sold without a Model Y order. It is an illustrative model built from public product information about the Model Y; prices, ranges, tow ratings, lead times, install times and discount limits are fictional, and it does not use Tesla's internal rules. It does not model taxes, trade-ins, financing terms or other model years.

Where rules-based CPQ gets it wrong

Click to expand

Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

What the validator caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
Options that depend on the trim: the 20-inch wheels only on Premium, the tow hitch not on Standard, paint and interior limits by trimOnly with care
Availability rules for every trim and color combination; the list grows with every new color, wheel or interior.
Availability is a range per paint, interior and option in the catalog, checked in the same pass.
Trailer weight against the hitch and the towing rating, and a range need that falls when the wheels changeOnly with workarounds
The figure depends on several choices at once, so it needs calculated fields kept in step with the catalog, and a stated range has to be compared by hand.
Range and towing rating are computed from the same data in the same pass as the price, and the stated range travels with the quote.
Credits and purchases that have ended: the federal vehicle credit, the 30 percent home energy credit and the Full Self-Driving purchaseOnly with care
Each end date is a separate rule that someone has to remember to add and later to retire.
Each is a rule in the model, checked on every call.
A Wall Connector against the spare capacity of the home panel, Powerwall ownership, the per-home limit and solar size against inverter capacityOnly with workarounds
Vehicle quoting tools have no home-site data model, so these checks sit outside the vehicle rules and are kept in step by hand.
Home data travels with the quote and is checked in the same pass as the vehicle.
Whole-home backup sizing by service amperage, the install lead time and the bundle promotionOnly with care
Each is a separate rule with its own threshold, kept in step with the offers by hand.
Thresholds are data; the validator returns block or needs approval as appropriate.
Fleet minimums, discount authority by customer type, delivery against lead time, and a stated total or range that does not match the computed figuresOnly with workarounds
A validation rule can compare a stated figure with a calculated one only if the stated figure is a field on the quote, which it rarely is.
The stated total and range travel with the quote and are compared with the computed ones on every call.

What this validator catches: findings from its test cases

Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

2An interior that the trim does not offer (White on the Standard trims).
3The same option selected more than once.
4The 20-inch wheels on a trim other than the Premium trims.
5A tow hitch on a Standard trim.
6A trailer with no tow hitch on the order.
7A trailer heavier than the 3,500 lb towing rating.
8A range the customer needs that is above the rated range.
9The federal clean vehicle credit, which has ended.
10The Full Self-Driving purchase, which has ended.
11Fleet pricing on an order of fewer than 5 vehicles.
12Delivery sooner than the lead time allows, even with an expedite.

14A Wall Connector on a panel with under 30 A spare.
15A Powerwall for a customer who rents.

3. Home energy: Wall Connector and Powerwall: Retail order with a Powerwall, a Wall Connector and solar

The agent's request. Please quote 1 Model Y Premium AWD for Daniel Reyes (retail), with Stealth Grey paint and the Black interior, one Wall Connector, one Powerwall 3 for whole-home backup, and the vehicle-plus-Powerwall bundle. His home has a 200 A service with 20 A spare in the panel and 25 kW of solar, the Powerwall install is planned for 8 weeks, and he asks for the 30 percent clean energy credit. The discount is 0 percent and the customer needs delivery in 6 weeks. The quote states a total of $61,465.00 and a range of 327 miles. It is ready to send.

Verdict: Blocked.

  • Panel too small for a Wall Connector. A Wall Connector needs a circuit of at least 30 A and the panel has 20 A spare.
  • Solar system larger than the Powerwall inverters. 25 kW of solar is above the 11.5 kW inverter capacity of 1 Powerwall 3 unit.
  • Too few Powerwall units for whole-home backup. Whole-home backup on a 200 A service needs at least 2 Powerwall 3 units; this order has 1.

Narration transcript

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent drafts a quote for a Tesla Model Y with home energy add-ons: a trim, paint, interior, and more. Before the quote goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model, compares the total and range the agent states with the ones it computes, and returns every finding together with the line-item quote.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote 1 Model Y Standard RWD for Maya Okafor (retail), with Ultra Red paint, the White interior and a tow hitch. She plans to tow a 2,000 lb trailer. The rest of the request is on screen.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with three findings, all in one answer. Ultra Red is not available on the Model Y Standard RWD. The White interior is not offered on the Model Y Standard RWD. The tow hitch is not offered on the Model Y Standard RWD.
  6. The validator returned three blocking findings in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the quote are checked against each other.
  7. What this shows: for options that depend on the trim: the 20-inch wheels only on Premium, the tow hitch not on Standard, paint and interior limits by trim, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the trim to MY_PAWD.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. This time the validator clears it.
  12. The validator also returns the line-item quote. It starts with Model Y Premium AWD and Ultra Red; the other three lines are on screen.
  13. All three earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's total, $55,380.00, matches the quote.
  14. Three problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
