'Along the way, our entire 600 km, 10 vehicles, did not emit a little bit of exhaust, did not use a drop of gasoline.' November 8, Tesla and Fort Nuggets 24-hour test drive ended, Tesla China Communication In fact, as of May 2017, Tesla Model S and Model X have accumulated a total of 427 million kilometers in China, saving 50 million liters of gasoline and avoiding 150,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
Tesla Model X and Model S travel in Zhejiang Mogan Naked Heart Peak, zero-emission Tesla into the Moganshan original mountain, and the integration of nature together.
'We are going to complete the construction of the world's largest lithium-ion battery plant in 100 days, and we are building this battery plant three times the size of the world's largest battery factory, and we insist on completing the contract in a hundred days This project, otherwise we do not accept the text. "October 28, Tesla founder Elon Musk (Elon Musk) will be the French renewable energy developer Neoen and the Australian South Australia government to build the world's largest Lithium-ion battery factory rules were announced, Elon Musk responded to the world's questions about the new energy sources, the largest battery factory.
Building the world's largest lithium-ion battery plant - Elon Musk's new energy road another big step forward.
Elon Musk, the Tesla founder who claims to be known as the Iron Man of Silicon Valley, wrote in an article on the Tesla website on July 20, 2016 - "Very few car start-ups have historically been successful. There were only two U.S. auto companies that did not go bankrupt in 2016: Ford and Tesla.Starting a car company is an idiot stupid thing, and starting an electric car company is stupid and stupid!
'But it's not a stupid, hippie thing, it's about each of us,' said Elon Musk. 'Someone accused us of making cars for the rich, but for all our planning and action purposes, All are accelerating the arrival of sustainable energy, enabling us to envision the future and still have a good life, which is the true meaning of sustainability. "

Elon Musk said: 'Essentially, we must achieve sustainable energy economy at some point, or we will run out of fossil fuels and human civilization will collapse.Anyway, we have to get out of the fight against fossil fuels And almost all scientists agree that drastic increases in carbon concentrations in the atmosphere and in the oceans are crazy stupid things, so the faster you can achieve sustainability, the better. "
The sooner the better! Tesla's speed is true.
'Ten years ago, I released the first chapter of the Tesla project, which is now in its final stages of completion,' emphasizes Elon Musk.
1. To create a model with a very small output, the price of this model must be expensive;
2. With the money earned, develop a moderate-yielding and relatively low-priced model;
3. And then use the money earned to create a mass-produced, price-friendly models of the people;
4. Provide solar power.
'I can only start with the first step (to build a small, expensive model) because the money I make from PayPal is enough to support the first step! At that time I thought we had a very low chance of success and I You do not want to risk anyone's money, so you can only use my own money. "Before we could create a scale effect, whatever model we were producing - economical or sporty, would be expensive Elon Musk explains why the first Tesla is so expensive on the official website July 20, 2016 that Tesla makes cars for the rich only because of the misunderstanding.
This is not the case, it is only the first step, and you can only do so.

Tesla has now entered the second chapter:
1. Create amazing and efficient, with integrated storage function, beautiful solar panels;
2. To expand the EV product line to meet the needs of various market segments;
3. Developed autopilot technology that is 10 times safer than human manual driving through a large number of fleet learning functions;
4. Let the vehicle make money for you by sharing when the vehicle is idle.
Building the world's largest lithium-ion battery plant is undoubtedly an important node in Tesla's second chapter.
The news was released in July this year, the world's largest lithium-ion battery plant built in Jamestown, 212 kilometers north of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, Australia, the battery system provides 100 MW / 129 MWh Electricity storage will be completed in 100 days and the estimated energy storage reaches 129 MWh, which can supply 30,000 households at the same time. Musk pointed out that the project will completely change the storage of new energy sources and make South Australia's transmission network more stable. And reduce electricity prices. 'Is there any risk in this project?' 'What is the biggest technical challenge?' "About this world's largest lithium-ion battery factory, Musk answered reporters' questions at a press conference , This visit video on October 28 in the United States social media exposure.
Reporter: Do you think this project will be at risk?
Musk: Of course, this is the largest battery factory in the world. There is bound to be a big risk. This is a 100 MW project. At present, the world's second largest battery factory project is 30 MW. So we want to build the battery factory is three times the world's largest battery factory, but also in signing the contract, we insist on completing the project within a hundred days, or we do not accept .We openly said, we So if you can not finish the project, first of all, we will lose a lot of money, maybe 50 million US dollars.This project will be at least more than 3 times stronger than any project in the world, will greatly reduce the price.
Reporter: What is the biggest technical challenge?
Musk: The biggest challenge is size, a battery factory three times bigger than today's largest lithium battery factory, and we are very confident about our modeling technology and system design, but when you actually build When such a monster, there will still be a lot of risk.
Reporter: The biggest use of the battery factory in what area? Arbitrage, or simply to provide a stable power service? When you say that if within a hundred days, can not finish the project, the points do not accept, is to say Do not charge neoen money, or do you not collect money from the South Australian government and taxpayers, or both?
Musk: This free is for the government and taxpayers .This project can stabilize the transmission network and buffer power, you can charge when the power supply cost is relatively low, and discharge when the electricity price is high, which will effectively reduce the average electricity cost, This is the most basic and effective way of transforming the power grid, and it is also very necessary.When it comes to new energy sources, especially wind and solar energy, we can not have sunshine in 24 hours and there is a strong wind. We need to buffer the power supply and charge it during the day. And discharge at night, it is so direct, not complicated at all. In fact, we can think of the earth as a huge satellite.
space x Just launching a geostationary satellite that can last 20 years and is maintenance-free, they are purely solar and battery-powered. There is no limit to the size of this technology, just as we can use solar energy and batteries to power big satellites , We can also provide the Earth with energy in these ways.
Reporter: When did you start to contact this project?
Musk: My Tesla colleague told me that South Australia is going to make a very large-scale new energy battery plant to deal with power challenges. My team asked if we should accept this challenge. I told them absolutely If the SA government is prepared to accept this challenge, we are also willing.
Reporter: Some people in South Australia want to build a new thermal power plant. What is the difference between the two in economic terms?
Musk: A difficult problem for thermal power plants is that it is difficult to get financial support. We all know that coal is unlikely to have a long-term future. When people try to build a new thermal power plant or upgrade on an existing basis , Investors want to seek investors, investors know coal will not last long, so the cost of capital construction of power plants will be very high, investors want a high profit margin, because they know this technology will not last long , Will not allow 30-year installment, so that thermal power can become very expensive.
Reporter: This factory will be built in Jamestown, what does this mean to local communities? How many jobs will be created?
Musk: With its large scale, the factory itself will bring a lot of job opportunities to the local community, and as the largest battery factory in the world, we try our best to make the factory look beautiful and stylish, trying our best to become a tourist attraction.
Reporter: battery life how?
Musk: The duration of the battery, depending on how to define the life of the battery, to what level of the battery can no longer be used, usually about 15 years, but also depends on how it is charged and discharged, the degree of use, etc. In general, the electronics last 20-30 years and the cooling system and thermal control loop can last as long, so as time goes by, we can add power packs and embed them seamlessly into the system Replenish the energy needed, these batteries are recyclable, have a large amount of nickel, and have a value of at least 10% even in the absence of electricity.
Reporter: We already have a lot of wind power plants in this country, do you think this will be your first partner?
Musk: Yes, for large-scale battery applications, this is a trend not only in Australia, but in the entire world, and many may be concerned that we can really build it in a hundred days, Technology is really useful, we will try our best to do what we say.
The continuing decline in battery costs, as well as the invention of new energy sources, will radically change the existing energy system architecture and this will be extremely fast.
We have similar projects in Kauai (in Hawaii), but not so big on scale, where there is plenty of sunshine and now they have built solar cells with batteries as the most basic way of producing electricity, charging during the day, Discharge at night.
I believe in the near future, all new energy power plants will be equipped with batteries at the same time, and the entire energy system will be subverted.
Reporter: What do you think about this project? Do you think if this time succeeds, will other continents follow suit? Do you think this is the future?
Musk: South Australia's decision to do this thing makes me feel very much admired, but this is the world's largest battery factory, more than three times more powerful than any power plant in the world and will certainly be the object of imitation in other countries in the world. We need to do this well to ensure the factory is built within 100 days and is working properly and I think other continents can also take a serious look at whether this approach will address their needs and in most cases I believe the answer Yes
