    As a Texan, I say bring it on! Texas, has a deregulated energy industry. Great for providing reasonably cheap electricity and allows Tesla to enter the market (not so great for other reasons). We have a fair amount of wind power and potential wind power in TX. The problem is wind has wasted overcapacity peaks with no storage at this point. Yes wind can make TX power slightly cleaner but we still required to cover the full capacity with natural gas and coal power to bridge low output conditions. Because electricity is an on demand model, I think this is a tremendous opportunity for Tesla Energy storage in TX.

      @@codprawn I don't think you understand the significance of your statement. These batteries will replace peaker plants, by storing overage during times of surplus and producing power during peak demand. You minimize 'smoothing' as though it isn't significant, when it can be millions of dollars saved by not turning on peaker plants in the first place, not to mention reduced dependence on natural gas which most of the peaker plants burn that was such a problem back in Feb.
      It also permits a greater buffer for intermittent energy sources such as wind and solar, permitting them to serve a greater role in the power grid as a whole while remaining stable. It won't replace baseline power generation, which will be coal and nuclear, but it can dramatically reduce the reliance on peaker plants.

      The ONLY country that meets and exceeds it's CO2 targets is France because they have masses of nuclear power. Messing around with renewables really isn't helping the planet.
      In the UK and Europe a typical Winter wind lull can last 2 weeks when there is a big area of high pressure. To store enough power to cover that lull would take 300 years of the whole World's battery production.
      I would be in favour of wind power IF there was a cheap and reliable way of storing the energy. Sadly there isn't. Trillions of dollars are being wasted around the World with no benefit to the planet. The technology has existed since the 1950s to cut back on CO2 production but sadly the anti nuclear lobby always wins.

    Your GWh scale footprint calculation (between 2:50 - 3:00) is way off :
    325 Megapacks (1 GWh) indeed cover take up some 42000 ft^2, but if you multiply that by 2.5, the total footprint of the facility is about 100,000 ft. That's only 325x325 ft, or 0.0037 sq.miles.

    The energy pack structure is very much necessary coping those windless dark nights. In stead of cranking up traditional power plants the grid can depend on the stored energy as well as not putting the high voltage distribution grid to the limit. As long as the electrical energy can be kept in its local area a lot of strong transformer losses can be avoided. Elon cant lose … I love you Elon

    The obvious answer is to roll out individual power systems to as many customers as possible. When enough individuals have their own clean systems and are selling excess capacity to the grid, the grid won't need mega-power companies anymore. What the system will still need is giga-storage facilities to store energy produced in the day to be used at night.

Batteries are fabulous when the thing you're powering moves, e.g. a car, a cordless drill, a phone. But houses don't move. Cities don't move. So why waste lithium ion batteries on them?

    Consumers are going to end up with power controls that cut power to unnecessary things when power costs are high. But things like freezers and some lights will still get power. Their power meters are going to watch the market and Bill the consumers more for peak power times; and less for off-peak power times. I see a lot of smart appliances that can be programmed to only run at off-peak power times - like washers and dryers. They may even be programmed to know the cost of power at any time during the day.

    Tesla writes in the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper on July 10th 1932: "I have harnessed the cosmic rays and caused them to operate a motive device... More than 25 years ago I began my efforts to harness the cosmic rays and I can now state that I have succeeded in operating a motive device by means of them. I will tell you in the most general way, the cosmic ray ionizes the air, setting free many charges ions and electrons. These charges are captured in a condenser which is made to discharge through the circuit of the motor. I have hopes of building my motor on a large scale, but circumstances have not been favorable to carrying out my plan".

    In my opinion it's all about lithium hydroxide. I don't hear it discussed often that Tesla is building a lithium hydroxide refinery at giga texas. They will be purchasing the raw material ( spodumene concentrate) directly from Piedmont Lithium in North Carolina (and their partners in northern Canada). Piedmont will also refine and sell their own lithium hydroxide and together Tesla and Piedmont will basically be the only two domestic suppliers of the battery chemical. I also think the proximity of Ford's $11 billion battery production facilities to Piedmont is no coincidence.

    Your area calculations are off by several orders of magnitude! A Megapack is 7.14m x 1.6m = 11.42 m². 325 x 11.42m² = 3711.5m². 3711.5m² x 2.5 ≈ 9200m². 1km² = 1000000m², so 100 times as much! Also, 20 sq.miles is 82km², not 32km², so that's another factor ~3 out!

    3:01 20 square miles is one-half of the land area of San Francisco -- just for storage batteries. Please fix your arithmetic. Please look-up how to convert square feet to square miles. (You divide by 5280 squared -- that's why it is called a square foot.) So you need about 2.5 acres for the batteries. You still need a huge solar farm to generate that electricity. (This info is already stated by Roger DeBats in a previous comment). Further, you must put about 125 watt-hours of energy in order to get 100 watt-hours back. So increase your solar farm by 25%.

    I am very surprised that both Tesla and Panasonic were waiting that long to introduce bigger battery since it makes way more sense on both economy or scope and economy of scale to have a bigger battery at the first place.
    Secondly, it makes no sense to import battery cells from China while we have much cheaper and much closer labor force right next door in South America…

    Megapacks are mostly good to cover peakusage really. For slow discharge there are far better and cheaper alternatives, lifepo4's, as they were known for ages before the namechange🤣, are still batteries that polute on production and at the end of their life. They are also still vulnerable to temperaturechanges, less than nickel manganese but still, so a country like Canada wouldn't benefit much of megapacks.

    • @josephine2869
      @josephine2869 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Everything pollutes.
      It is just a matter of how much pollution over their lifetime, carbon footprint and sustainability.
      Battery materials are very recyclable and more economical to do so.
      For temperature changes, these packs comes with really efficient thermal management systems.
      See how pump does well for new model Ys and 3s range during winter.
      Edit: if you are looking down on lithium iron phosphate batteries, new Tesla megapack are to come with Lifepo4.
      Tesla is already ordering lots of them from CATL already. They are just cheaper material-wise and have way longer life cycles.
      They have solved cold weather issues in China model 3 SR+ model with these heat pumps.

Mechanical batteries, iron-air, molten salt etc. Those usually won't cover peakusage and that is where a megapack can be useful. I do say 'can' because there are still some small scale-options that can do the same thing.

      @pl m i am also no advocate of solarpanels as the solution to all of our problems. There is much more energy to be harvested in oceancurrents, tidal waves and wind than we will ever get out of photovoltaic cells. Those max out at 30 percent efficiency theoretically while the majority now hovers around 18. I love Elon for spaceX. His EV's are marvels of engeneering but even Tesla will need to find a way to fix their batteries. It's not the solution they advocate. It will buy us some time until we finally crack nuclear fusion or blow ourselves up trying. Meanwhile small thoriumreactors might do the trick.
