I just looked up Telsa's battery packs and they seem to be between 60-100kwh. Our daily use is about 30kwh in the fall, so it's only 2-3 days. Admittedly we can turn off the hot tub, water heater, etc to stretch it out. And of course, that means that you can't drive it... The one thing that would be for everybody's good is using them during peak hours. If you work normal hours, then that only gets part of the peak load, unfortunately.
Just buy three of them. Two to leave in the garage as a "mobile battery pack" and one to drive around. All problems solved. -- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.
