Earlier this year it was reported that Maskatu had said under the sea that it would complete a 100-megawatt lithium-ion battery pack for South Australia within 100 days, otherwise it would not collect the money. Many people were skeptical at the time After all, Tesla did not record any commitment to meeting construction deadlines, but this time they (rarely) met their 100-megawatt challenge 100 days ahead of time! According to the state government in South Australia, Tesla's new construction Powerpack system coming online in these days.
In March, Lyndon Rive, Tesla's vice president of energy products (also Musk's cousin), said in an interview that Tesla's Powerpack lithium-ion battery system can easily Solve the problem of intermittent power failure in South Australia State Grid.
At that time, a bit of eating people (Atlassian Co-Founder and CEO, Mike Cannon-Brookes of Australia) on Twitter @ Musk, said 'I X. Are you serious? If I can pull over Investment and government, can you guarantee 100 megawatts in 100 days? "Musk responded directly to him on Twitter:" Tesla will be built and brought online within 100 days of signing the contract, otherwise it will be free. Is that serious enough? 'So, the 100-day 100 megawatt challenge to Musk officially began in late September.

What's wrong with the power system in South Australia? Last September, there was a major blackout in South Australia that affected the entire province, and the Australian government said at the time that the blackout was caused by the inability of renewable energy to meet electricity demand. Sila The world's largest lithium battery pack was built 250 kilometers north of Adelaide next to the Hornsdale wind farm in France's Neoen company to store excess electricity from wind and solar and help when demand peaks Peak adjustment.

It will also need to conduct a series of tests before the battery pack goes live on December 1, to ensure compliance with local power system regulations, but even then, Musk's deadline has just passed.It is estimated that, The cost of this project is at least 50 million U.S. dollars. (This may explain why Musk is so anxious to make his promise).
For Musk double again and again an accomplishment, DT Jun had to give him 99. As for the last minute, such as DT Jun's Model 3 to pay him to make up.
