Elon, you didn't think BIG enough
After its Powerwall introduction, 75,000 units have already been spoken for! Pre-orders from 50,000 residential and 25,000 commercial users are worth about 800 million dollars in potential sales. That demand is about 1 1/2 year of production and delivery. The Gigafactory (not scheduled to open till 2016) would not be able to keep up with the additional current demands, that Tesla needs more Giga-facilities just for the home users.

I doubt it's Mr. Musk that's the problem.
I like the theory that he's a stranded alien gaming Earth-side industry to create a means of returning to his home world. |
Might read Karl Deninger at Market Ticker for an alternate take on Musk and his supposed intelligence. Follow the money, as has been said. There is a recent thread at www.airforums.com in re the pwall for RVs. Wouldn't occur to me to want a lithium batt or a propane water heater under my bed, but . . . . AM Solar already has what I might want for our limited space in a lightweight aerodynamic house.
Kris De Decker at Low Tech also has a good recent article on electrical storage. |
Deninger supports my theory of 'gaming Earth-side industry'. See also Analysis: Tesla may have made over $100 million off the CARB enabled battery swap ZEV credit scheme | Watts Up With That?
