Having made these public commitments, Musk and Cannon-Brookes had better deliver on their commitments within '100 days', or they are going to unfortunately pour petrol on the bonfire that is any attempt at rational energy debate in this country.
There are enough conservative elements here already making misinformed claims about renewable energy that any failures or compromises, even for good technical reason, will be seized upon.
- adventured 10y agoTesla has previously demonstrated the extremely impressive speed at which they can deploy these systems. I suspect the only problem is likely to potentially be politicians that try to get in the way to intentionally slow it down and cause the referenced negative PR event.
- jnsaff2 10y agoNote how Musk promised 100 days from signing. This seems like a very reasonable bet that the negotiation will take a long time and if things look promising they can start the production early.
- londons_explore 10y agoThis is only the battery capacity of 1000 cars. That about 15% of tesla's car production over that time period. I bet they have sufficient supply chain slack to accommodate that if they need to.
