Patternicity I believe his point was that Star Industries doesn't resemble Tesla in any way. Stark Industries, as far as I know, was founded on the basis of, war for profit. Where as, Elon Musk, and, his companies may just save us all.
Fernando Pulido I've really got to agree with you on that one! Stark Industries may have been making profit from war but the level of innovation is definitely on par.
Update: 2021: Richest guy in the world doesn’t see a big difference to before and when interviewed says he’ll give most of it away. He should be a role model to all people becoming adults.
***** not just yet because battery degradation is a lot more expensive than the power it buffers so this is not a cost rational option yet. More a luxury cool factor but if battery life and price becomes such that its cost is modest then it's conceivable that you will see houses that doesn't use grid power in some sunny regions and if super cheap then even in darker wintery areas as well. No risk of it happening anytime soon though as it takes a very substantial battery backup to feed for instance a hungry tesla car coming home. It's particularly moot in regions where power companies allow power to flow back so you only pay for net use so you get buffering for free.
Tucker Holstun If i didn't already have a career and family i would work for Elon some how. I wouldn't care if i pushed a broom. I would start wherever he would let me and educate myself!
That is much nicer and quieter than a generator, however I would like to see a large powerbattery pack you can connect to the home without solar pannels. Solar panels are still expensinve plus the added wall pack.
Its interesting to think back to other events like this (like the ones from apple) and how much more polished they appear. And yet, this was one of the most genuine, pleasant and meaningful (by far) I've seen in, well maybe, ever. Great work guys. And good luck!
With Tesla's new Model S 70D, the PowerWall/PowerPack, their new Pre-Owned online sales, the beginning of Model X production, the construction of the Gigafactory, and designs for Model 3, Tesla is going to be successful as hell this year through next - and passed that! Their stock is going to rise like crazy, as well as their profits, production scale, and workforce. Long live Elon Musk, Tesla Energy, and Tesla Motors, Inc.!
acdcfreak5745 What are you talking about? If the solution would be great, there would be lots of money in it!!! Its not a solution, the battery pack is uneconomical. That Musk presents this as a revolutionary step is ABSURD! There are lots of companies out there doing the exact same thing. He is just repackaging lithium ion batteries in a fancy package. This system is not competitive with grid energy and gasoline generators as backup. This battery has a output of 2kw, which is another joke! That cant power a house!
Paul van de Loo You are clearly not very educated on how this all works, are you? Considering the relatively low cost of the batteries (I mean really, look at the cost of a typical mid-level car for reference), it's a very practical solution. And you're complaining about the output? Did you miss the part about the stack-ability of the batteries entirely? Tesla Motors/Energy is a company looking to make a profit, but they're also looking to do some good at the same time. Believe it or not, and considering your age, you may be brainwashed to believe the two cannot go hand in hand, it is surely possible. Edit: 2kwh? It's actually 7kwh ($3000) or 10kwh ($3500). I swear, sometimes it makes me wonder why people on here can't read.
Z Guitar 2kW (note, no "h") is the maximum output from one unit, whereas 10kWh is the capacity (how much it holds). So the unit could emit 2kW for 5 hours or 1kW for 10 hours or 500W for 20 hours. For reference, 2kW is about what is required to run a kettle or an iron, so most people would need 2-3 units. You might also be interested to know that the smallest Tesla S car battery is 40kWh.
I didn't believe it at first but I did the math and 2 billion powerpacks could provide around 50% of the world energy needs for 1 day. 200 000 GWh is 0.72 exajoules or expressed as a rate 22.8 GW. In 2015 the world used 550 exajoules or ~17 000 GW. So on average, in 2015 the world used 1.5 exajoules per day or expressed as a rate 47 GW. Electricity, heating, and transport might be covered by 2 billion units assuming we can fully charge them daily. Go Tesla.
I think Elon Musk will be my response EVERYTIME I hear someone whine and bemoan about how one man cant do anything against the force of "evil" in the world.
About time that a company shows leader ship in battery technology. I had my 3KWh solar system installed in 2011 and wanted to store the excess power in batteries, but the current batteries are still very expensive and need to be replaced ever 5 years. As soon as Tesla delivers the batteries (Tesla Power Wall) to Australia, I will install them at my home.
Recently we in Sydney, Australia, had some serious storms. It left almost 200000 homes without power. Some of those homes, especially in regional areas, are still without power 2 weeks later. If they had the Powerwall I believe those homes wouldn't have lost power. This is great technology and I'll certainly be keeping an eye on it. I'm personally sick of being a slave to the power companies and the current infrastructure of power delivery via vulnerable power poles and lines.
arokh72 This is one of it's biggest selling points, local, distributed power generation that is fault tolerant. The biggest issue in Australia won't be technological, it will be political, but I'm sure we'll we get past that. I do think the cost needs to be driven down significantly however.
Now I just have to wait until tesla releases proprietary panels. Hopefully by the time I am old enough to build my house, I'll be using exclusively tesla for my energy.
The scale of the x-axis in the "CO2 Concentration (ppm)" slide at 1:17 is so wrong it hurts my brain. 1750-1800-1850-1900-1950-2000-2050-3000, wtf Tesla?
Not taking anything away from artists like Psy, but these are the kinds of videos that need to be seen millions of times, not music videos. These are the things that create revolutions and change the world. People need to know about this.
While this is a great step, the primary problem is seasonal energy not 24 hour. So winter heating and summer cooling are peak use problems generally. Up to 80% of energy use in a typical home each year goes on space & water heating (in temperate climates). Off grid only really works when peak use is matched, which means you have to cater for a max use scenario, which can be expensive where batteries are concerned. Geographical position counts as well due to sun effects/intensity and daylight hours. It's not simple.
Sounds like a great idea, but what about the finite minerals we have to mine in order to make these batteries? What happens when like fossil fuels, those too deplete?
I have to apologize on behalf of the great state of Utah for outlawing a new tesla dealership from opening in Salt Lake City. Forgive them Elon for they know not what they do.
I live in Vancouver, BC. With the current rate of exchange, plus inflation, it would take me nearly 10 years to break even on the investment if I buy the battery today, assuming I already have the solar panels installed (which I don't), and live totally off grid.
Open sourcing the patents. This guy definitely has good intentions. It's also great how he explains things in such an understandable way and brings things into context to enable us to see his vision. Truly inspiring.
the guy is one of the most intelligent minds of our generation and still he gets stage fright when giving a presentation. Elon Musk is just too adorable to not like
" Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes in... that changes everything" - Steve Jobs. This man reminds me so much of Jobs. Great and perfectly sensible product. A new hope for humanity.
Fantastic video, fantastic company, fantastic man, fantastic product. But what I want to know is how the screens seem to be able to display images in 3D lol. Anyone else notice how the Powerwall seemed to have depth when the camera angles changed?
Nicholas Richards It's an actual powerwall mounted on a third of the display wall. The projector projects the image of the presentation around the pack. The middle part of the wall can the turned, as in the beginning of the demonstration video.
Truly the future of energy. Makes me wonder why Tesla cars don’t have solar panels on the roof to charge the battery while driving. Seems like it would be perfect for long trips.
This technology should definitely be introduced to those countries on the Equator, such as south-east Asia, we have all year round Sun shinning and no snow problem at all.
Very good approach and I hope the technology really works. One question he didn't answer in his speech is how long are the Tesla batteries working? We know that the capacity and efficiency of batteries goes down over time. How long do the Tesla batteries work? Side note: He needs to improve his presentation skills. But still very impressed by the technical data! Second side note: Even in the Philippines solar panels are getting affordable. We are going to get a small (1kW, no battery storage system => obviously because of cost and bad efficiency of todays standard (Pb) batteries) Solar panel system in the next weeks. This will help us to lower our electricity expenses and it will be a small contribution to lower CO2 production. If Tesla battery system will be available here (in the Philippines) and they have proven that they are reliable and long lifetime, I am ready to upgrade the solar panel system with Tesla technology!
mreisma there will always be some degree of degradation, but it will be very little, also all Tesla batteries (including in Model S) come with a 10 year warranty. So if you need a new one every 10ish years thats only $3,500 to store clean energy for 10 years! That's only $350/year!!
I think the idea is fantastic, but I'm having a hard time finding any information on the carbon footprint associated with production of said batteries. What I can find is that the rare earth metal mining is generally pretty carbon intensive and mostly comes from China, who does post great statistics. Just a thought.
I just saw this video and I loved the idea, specially where it says it's a scalable techonology that could be used anywhere in the globe. I'm from latin america and I would love to subtitle and share your video hoping it may cause such a big impact as it caused in me. Please let me know if you're ok with me adding the subtitles in spanish. I strongly believe this is the future and I would be really happy to help spread the word about such amazing technology. Thanks.
Fantastic Elon,this the way forward if care about our self and our children.i will definitely buy this product. Clean Air Less pollution Brighter future for future generations.
would this be worth exploring for storage of renewable produced energy on off mains gas properties in the UK currently using LPG to produce heat. with addition of other electric methods of space and water heating?
I'll get a few of these for my own home as well as for my parents. I believe that Elon is the only person who can make a difference. In this degraded consumerist world, he is someone who can inspire and guide people on the right path. That's what it's all about. I wish I could work for or with Tesla in one way or another just because it would be a great cause.
It all sounds tremendously promising, but like all advertising, you don't advertise the pragmatic reality. There are questions to be asked first: What is the life of the batteries? How often do you have to replace the batteries? How long does a battery hold charge for? What is the environmental impact of producing the batteries? Nonetheless, you have to admire the man's vision. Not to mention the commitment to open source patents. Kudos, Elon Musk.
#1. Name a Big, Relevant Change in the World #2. Show There’ll Be Winners and Losers #3. Tease the Promised Land #4. Introduce Features as “Magic Gifts” for Overcoming Obstacles to the Promised Land #5. Present Evidence that You Can Make the Story Come True
What i find kinda sad is that he tries so hard you can see how much this means to him but way to little people are listening and way to many big fishes dislike his ideas since they wouldnt get that much money if he suceeds. Poor but superbly awesome dude
I really like Tesla, they are truly unique in what they are doing...but what is the matter with these Elon Musk fanboys in the audience? They scream like 12 year old girls at a Take That concert. After every sentence he finishes they freak out.
im pretty sure he is actually trying to point out the manipulation going on there, many people screaming and essentially sharing their opinion can have a brainwashing effect on others because in general people follow what other people say when really it would probably be much wiser to make your own picture.
I design solar , wind and solar thermal systems and my own home is off grid with solar and solar thermal. I am very glad a big player like tesla is drawing attention to this huge problem that in just 2 generations we have turned the world into a ticking time bomb with the greed of corps not caring but knowing full well what fossil fuels are doing to this planet. Off grid power is the only future that we can still have a planet to live in but also people learning or relearning how to live sustainably.
this lecture is very enjoyed because the presenter is got a good ability made him attract audience's attention. he used effective slides and short examples with scientific evidence.
Robert Drake That's what I was thinking about too. How he plans to deal with the rare earth materials. Also I wonder what the lifespan of such a battery is.
I really like the idea of a home battery. One thing I keep wondering about it if there are enough minerals to build those 9 billion or so batteries of?
The best way to use the PowerWalls is to get completely "Off The Grid" from the constant regulations & taxes against the consumer such as California's new NEM 3.0 regulations. Buying Your Own Solar Panels & Powerwall not Leasing is the answer!
The sun radiates huge quantities of energy into the surrounding space, and the tiny fraction intercepted by the earth’s atmosphere 150 million kilometers (km) away is nonetheless around 5.4 million EJ per year. About one third of this is radiated back to space, but this still leaves around 3.8 million EJ per year available for use on Earth. This is about 8,000 times humanity’s present rate of use of fossil and nuclear fuels.
How to present like Elon Musk: #1. Start with a big, undeniable change that creates stakes #2. Name the enemy + why now #3. Tease the “Promised Land” #4. Identify obstacles - then explain how you'll overcome them #5. Present your best evidence
I'm 14 years old an I heard about tesla 1 year ago. I was so happy to see that there is sombody who is doing something against the destroying of our planet so I love Tesla and Elon
Полагаю, что у них 3х-5ти этажный подвал в котором стоят аккумуляторы. Считаю, что на сегодняшний день пока лучшим и дешевым, считается термоядерный синтез(лучше холодный). Жаль, что народу перекрыли воздух(доступ к радиоактивным веществам)-ДАВНО БЫ НЕ НУЖДАЛИСЬ НИ В БЕНЗИНЕ, НИ В ЭЛЕКТРОЭНЕРГИИ. А может и корпорации ЭТОГО БОЯТСЯ... Ну естественно нужен контроль, хотя БЕТА ЛУЧИ особо и не опасны.
Only one problem fellow American. He's not from here which probably explains the non-greediness he has running in his veins and the reason he wishes to help & he's not even interested in politics really. Anyways, since he has no parents from America being they're from South Africa, he cannot run for President because "American entitlement" & thinking we're superior to everyone else. Blah, I disagree.
People are posting all kinds of questions all over about the product, they do not understand it. Its pretty well explained in the video what it does. But im all over the place answering posts.
Awesome, almost no details whatsoever like how long the batteries last, what is the energy density compared to lithium etc but still awesome. I look forward to never paying another energy bill every again, just buy it once, set it up and forget about it (apart from maintenance)

Indeed.

Incredibly admirable! What's the problem? What's the solution? Implement the solution. Every single time.
Cool
I was just watching one of your tesla videos before I clicked on this one. I like your red model 3
I find it wiser to think with the phrase, "there are no solutions, only tradeoffs" helps one fully think through everything.
Such a humble and realistic individual
Mohamid Browne Yes. He's extremely genuine. Especially for a billionaire.
Ken Heslip I agree. Some may beg to differ but I do not believe he has ulterior motives.

This is going to KILL power companies holy crap
***** its nothing to do with natural selection dude
Except somebody still has to MAKE the power- idiotic
joelyboyblue perhaps the SOLAR PANELS?

It's particularly moot in regions where power companies allow power to flow back so you only pay for net use so you get buffering for free.
Dan Frederiksen Well, their show was powered with this.
Elon Musk is truly amazing. Should've been this year's TIME Magazine's Man of the Year.
I love Elon, but i wish more people were doing the kind of thing he is doing and i hope i can after high school and college
Tucker Holstun If i didn't already have a career and family i would work for Elon some how. I wouldn't care if i pushed a broom. I would start wherever he would let me and educate myself!

If only I've read this comment 7 years ago...
I love how absolutely simple and obvious this solution is, but no one has made it happen before because money
thank goodness this is happening
acdcfreak5745 that is because simple solutions don't create billions of pointless dollars.

Truly the future of energy. Makes me wonder why Tesla cars don’t have solar panels on the roof to charge the battery while driving. Seems like it would be perfect for long trips.
Technology solves humanities problems not politicians! Thanks Elon you Rock! This is a first amazing step that will grow as technology evolves!
This technology should definitely be introduced to those countries on the Equator, such as south-east Asia, we have all year round Sun shinning and no snow problem at all.
Future is Tesla Energy and Tesla Motors. =)
Such a genius. May Elon Musk live for 200 years ++
carlozmrc he will. He has the money and technology
Very good approach and I hope the technology really works. One question he didn't answer in his speech is how long are the Tesla batteries working? We know that the capacity and efficiency of batteries goes down over time. How long do the Tesla batteries work?

This aged like dog 💩
are you able to drain the batteries without degradation or lose charge capacity
mreisma there will always be some degree of degradation, but it will be very little, also all Tesla batteries (including in Model S) come with a 10 year warranty.
So if you need a new one every 10ish years thats only $3,500 to store clean energy for 10 years!
That's only $350/year!!
I think the idea is fantastic, but I'm having a hard time finding any information on the carbon footprint associated with production of said batteries.

Thanks.
If the battery was arranged in two halves you could charge them with two chargers in half the time?
I think it ll be great if Power wall will construct over the Model S, so there ll be no need over Supercharger in many times
Oh I want Tesla energy
Fantastic Elon,this the way forward if care about our self and our children.i will definitely buy this product.
Clean Air
Less pollution
Brighter future for future generations.
I wonder if this power wall could fit/used in a car. They should do a version for cars and bikes.
would this be worth exploring for storage of renewable produced energy on off mains gas properties in the UK currently using LPG to produce heat. with addition of other electric methods of space and water heating?
Looks Awesome, When you want to build a Gigafactory in Australia let me know and I will come and work for you.
Taking knowledge and making it real , thanks to tesla
this is great and such a revolutionary plan, I don't mind anything about anything, but the good contribution that this could do to the planet.
I'll get a few of these for my own home as well as for my parents. I believe that Elon is the only person who can make a difference. In this degraded consumerist world, he is someone who can inspire and guide people on the right path. That's what it's all about. I wish I could work for or with Tesla in one way or another just because it would be a great cause.
Watching this a second time just to make sure I get every word. This is phenomenal.
It is refreshing to see a company given an actual tangible solution to earth largest threat, climate change. Innovative, courageous and essential.
It all sounds tremendously promising, but like all advertising, you don't advertise the pragmatic reality. There are questions to be asked first:
What is the life of the batteries? How often do you have to replace the batteries?
How long does a battery hold charge for?
What is the environmental impact of producing the batteries?
Nonetheless, you have to admire the man's vision. Not to mention the commitment to open source patents. Kudos, Elon Musk.
Would love to buy this and take back home to West Africa. The rolling blackouts are a major disruption to daily life.
#1. Name a Big, Relevant Change in the World
#2. Show There’ll Be Winners and Losers
#3. Tease the Promised Land
#4. Introduce Features as “Magic Gifts” for Overcoming Obstacles to the Promised Land
#5. Present Evidence that
You Can Make the Story Come True
Awesome!!! Now can you help apple out with some batteries that work
What i find kinda sad is that he tries so hard you can see how much this means to him but way to little people are listening and way to many big fishes dislike his ideas since they wouldnt get that much money if he suceeds. Poor but superbly awesome dude
I really like Tesla, they are truly unique in what they are doing...but what is the matter with these Elon Musk fanboys in the audience? They scream like 12 year old girls at a Take That concert. After every sentence he finishes they freak out.
Hans Maulwurf thats because just someone which is really interestet in tesla is there and they are euphoric so they scream ^^
Hans Maulwurf No shit, who would have thought Tesla fans were invited to a Tesla launch event...
Hans Maulwurf INVESTORS. They often do that when they feel large profits...
Agh! That happens for every new product Przo!!!!
im pretty sure he is actually trying to point out the manipulation going on there, many people screaming and essentially sharing their opinion can have a brainwashing effect on others because in general people follow what other people say when really it would probably be much wiser to make your own picture.
I design solar , wind and solar thermal systems and my own home is off grid with solar and solar thermal. I am very glad a big player like tesla is drawing attention to this huge problem that in just 2 generations we have turned the world into a ticking time bomb with the greed of corps not caring but knowing full well what fossil fuels are doing to this planet. Off grid power is the only future that we can still have a planet to live in but also people learning or relearning how to live sustainably.
He's definitely Tony Stark. Waiting for his first Tesla Suit!
I believe in your company Elon! I bought Tesla stocks because I truly believe that your ideas deserve a reward!
You kept all the stock till now?
this lecture is very enjoyed because the presenter is got a good ability made him attract audience's attention. he used effective slides and short examples with scientific evidence.
Tesla is the future! :) Love this company and everything they do!
Watched this 6 years later and I want to say thank you Elon musk and Tesla
The graphic in 1:16 has a fail... the last year should be 2100 not 3000.
yep... I was wondering if I am the problem for a little while :D
Elon Musk for president of the world
Innovation always deals with issues and better ways than what came before it. Do wonder about using rare earth minerals and strip mining.
Robert Drake that's being researched into with gusto. I've lost count how many laboratories are currently working on new batteries.
Robert Drake That's what I was thinking about too. How he plans to deal with the rare earth materials.
Also I wonder what the lifespan of such a battery is.
Real world mancrush. Just love this dude.
I really like the idea of a home battery.
One thing I keep wondering about it if there are enough minerals to build those 9 billion or so batteries of?
Yes!! My dream of living off the grid will be very possible now.
The best way to use the PowerWalls is to get completely "Off The Grid" from the constant regulations & taxes against the consumer such as California's new NEM 3.0 regulations. Buying Your Own Solar Panels & Powerwall not Leasing is the answer!
I love seeing the power walls get installed
I think he never prepares for his speech ,
A good quality of a leader
The sun radiates huge quantities of energy into the surrounding space, and the tiny fraction intercepted by the earth’s atmosphere 150 million kilometers (km) away is nonetheless around 5.4 million EJ per year. About one third of this is radiated back to space, but this still leaves around 3.8 million EJ per year available for use on Earth. This is about 8,000 times humanity’s present rate of use of fossil and nuclear fuels.
Does anybody know with what program was this presentation made?
Does Tesla have any plans to build the "Blue Square" Solar Panels area? Would you choose area that is desert land or nonarable?
Music at the beginning please ? I mean apart from Darude - Sandstorm ^^
the powerpack should have come in black and been called the monolith
how much solar time it is needed to fill that battery?
You, Sir, are Amazing. ❤😍❤😍❤😘
They should start also making nuclear fusion energy (I’m pretty sure if someone can figure it out, they can!)
How to present like Elon Musk:
#1. Start with a big, undeniable change that creates stakes
#2. Name the enemy + why now
#3. Tease the “Promised Land”
#4. Identify obstacles - then explain how you'll overcome them
#5. Present your best evidence
I'm 14 years old an I heard about tesla 1 year ago.
I was so happy to see that there is sombody who is doing something against the destroying of our planet so I love Tesla and Elon
Who the hell rendered that presentation in twisted perspective :D
This is wonderful. Good for the planet and will give people good paying jobs.
This is so awesome! Finally Tesla is being heard.
Полагаю, что у них 3х-5ти этажный подвал в котором стоят аккумуляторы. Считаю, что на сегодняшний день пока лучшим и дешевым, считается термоядерный синтез(лучше холодный). Жаль, что народу перекрыли воздух(доступ к радиоактивным веществам)-ДАВНО БЫ НЕ НУЖДАЛИСЬ НИ В БЕНЗИНЕ, НИ В ЭЛЕКТРОЭНЕРГИИ. А может и корпорации ЭТОГО БОЯТСЯ... Ну естественно нужен контроль, хотя БЕТА ЛУЧИ особо и не опасны.
6:33 What is that song?
I'm gna apply for a job in Tesla, hope I can get in!
Elon Musk for supreme ruler of the universe. Get a petition going.
th-cam.com/video/zOnGxU8XO7U/w-d-xo.html and his g friend is a VAMPRIE
you should be the president of the united States! hands down I would vote for you!
Only one problem fellow American. He's not from here which probably explains the non-greediness he has running in his veins and the reason he wishes to help & he's not even interested in politics really. Anyways, since he has no parents from America being they're from South Africa, he cannot run for President because "American entitlement" & thinking we're superior to everyone else. Blah, I disagree.
People are posting all kinds of questions all over about the product, they do not understand it. Its pretty well explained in the video what it does. But im all over the place answering posts.
Why isn't this EVERYWHERE yet????
Awesome, almost no details whatsoever like how long the batteries last, what is the energy density compared to lithium etc but still awesome.
I look forward to never paying another energy bill every again, just buy it once, set it up and forget about it (apart from maintenance)
Future is near.
t3ampl4yer You can pre-order future now:)
Theonlyoneleft1000 and then you work towards the next future. It's what we do :)
t3ampl4yer What exactly do you mean??
