Tesla Powerpack to Enable Large Scale Sustainable Energy to South Australia
Last September, a 50-year storm damaged critical infrastructure in the state of South Australia, causing a state-wide blackout and leaving 1.7 million residents without electricity. Further blackouts occurred in the heat of the Australian summer in early 2017. In response, the South Australian Government as a leader in renewable energy, looked for a sustainable solution to ensure energy security for all residents, now and into the future, calling for expressions of interest to deploy grid-scale energy storage options with at least 100 megawatts (MW) of capacity.

Le Tesla Model X est le premier SUV à obtenir une note de 5 étoiles dans toutes les catégories du crash-test de la NHTSA
Nous avons conçu le Model X pour être le SUV le plus sûr au monde et aujourd’hui, l’Agence fédérale des États-Unis chargée de la sécurité routière (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration - NHTSA) a annoncé, après avoir réalisé des essais indépendants, avoir octroyé une note de 5 étoiles à notre Model X dans chaque catégorie et sous-catégorie. Il s’agit du premier SUV à obtenir la note maximale à tous les niveaux. Mais les essais de la NHTSA ne s’arrêtent pas là : ils révèlent également que notre véhicule présente la plus faible probabilité de blessure parmi tous les SUV qu’elle a testés. En effet, parmi toutes les autres voitures jamais essayées par la NHTSA, le Model X arrive en deuxième position en ce qui concerne la probabilité de ne pas être blessé lors d’un incident, juste derrière notre Model S.

Earlier this year, the United Automobile Workers (UAW) announced it was attempting to organize workers in Tesla’s Fremont factory. The latest phase of their campaign involves a concerted and professional media push intended to raise questions about safety at Tesla.
The Next Step in Energy Storage: Aggregation
Today, modern utilities and grid operators are utilizing battery technology like never before. The next step in tapping the potential of energy storage is putting together thousands of batteries to form an energy network that utilities can use to deliver immediate value for the electric system. Tesla can now bundle Powerwall and Powerpack batteries into a single portfolio, also called aggregation, to make the grid cleaner and more efficient. Meanwhile, Powerwall customers who allow Tesla and the utilities to use their battery when energy demand is highest will not only have home backup power, but will also receive compensation for its use on the grid.
Solar Roof
Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to a sustainable energy future by creating products that are so compelling, there is no alternative. Solar energy has always been part of our master plan, and we recognized the need for a roof that is simultaneously affordable, durable, beautiful and integrated with battery storage.
