Where would they dump the power? You need a load of some sort. 7kW requires a voltage drop between a hot and a neutral. If it's a 1V drop then you're going to get a hot load of amps.

Into what it was designed for, maybe.... a car?!
Im thinking in an attack situation hackers might plan for say a 3am mass dump and pull on the grid by all cars that are charging overnight. This would definitely be possible by altering firmware, and would be bad enough to blow some local substations for sure.
I may be misunderstanding your concern but the idea would be for Tesla to dump the energy into car batteries or powerwall storage.
