Musk’s confidence behind promising large amounts of power to Australia lies in Tesla’s new Gigafactory in Nevada.
Most of Elon Musk’s ventures are working for the future of technology, but his brainchild Tesla is also doing stable work to promote cleaner energy sources in present times. Now, it claims that the same can be done in commendable pace. Recently, Tesla’s Vice President for Energy Products, Lyndon Rive, introduced the Powerwall 2, Tesla’s new home battery setup. In process of the announcement, Rive claimed that the company’s battery technology, aided by its snazzy new facility, can deliver up to 300 Megawatt hour of power in a mere 100 days to halt increasing power cuts in Southern Australia.
Among many who took to the claims was Atlassian co-founder, Mike Cannon-Brookes, who posted a direct query on Twitter, on exactly how serious is Tesla. Musk then followed up by reinstating Tesla’s power delivery claims, and also stated that the company will do it “100 days from contract signature or it is free.” This conversation led to Brookes stating “you’re on”, who also went ahead and asked for a quote. The conversation went as follows:
Musk’s quote puts battery pack-level price at approximately $75 million for 300MWh of power, which is about the total power shortage that is leading to frequent power cuts and a potential blackout in the near future. Australian senator Sarah Hanson-Young also joined in on the conversation, expressing interest in hosting a conversation with Musk and Tesla regarding the same.
