Unfortunately Tesla isn't looking into V2H right now, as far as I know. EV manufacturers are hesitant since that would take power away from what their product was meant to use it for, powering the car.
They can make sure there is a minimum amount reserved but it's hard to say how much they should reserve. 10 miles? 20?
Your scenario where the excess solar would charge it is an ideal scenario. Unfortunately currently, solar systems are sized for your average yearly use, so at the end of the year you come out to about 0 for the year. The V2H scenario, you'd have to size it for peak summer usage to cover an outage then, and the excess the rest of the year would usually be wasted. However that is where block chain community energy could step in and things get very interesting!
