There is no way such a profligate energy user would end up with just one Tesla battery pack. They are designed to be racked in groups until they are big enough to meet your load. To run a single pack you would have it wired so that the biggest loads are left out and you would have lights and some critical circuits only. I have a small battery backup system (about 2kWh) in my house, and the first thing I do after a significant power failure is to switch off the wall plugs of any hungry appliances so junior or the wife don't use them. The battery will happily run the fridge and freezer so long as they don't come on at exactly the same time, or the inverter browns out. Cooking and kettle boiling continues on the gas stove and the evaporative a/c can be used if the sun is shining on the backup battery's solar panels. And we don't have an electric clothes drier, I didn't think anyone could afford to run one of them these days.
One time we had a major failure I forgot it was near bed time and the wife had her electric blanket on. The battery was flat in an hour or so, it won't happen again!
