I would assume that each megapack would have zigbee for telemetry which should be always transmitting, even if the pack were in the off state.
And the cooling system should be continuously monitored for faults. Not just inspected after filling.
- WJW 5y agoThat it's hardware instead of software doesn't mean it can't be hacked together.
- sitkack 5y agoThermals are the number one aspect of battery engineering. For something that is to run under load in the Victorian heat, even more so. This isn't some weekend hackathon contest, Tesla is supposed to have the worlds best engineering. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack
- WJW 5y agoWhy would Tesla have the "worlds best" engineering? I don't think I have ever seen anyone ever claim that except for perhaps Tesla PR representatives. How would you even measure "best" in such a field? Cheapest? Best quality? Best value-for-money? Safest? Highest power density?
- aaron695 5y agoThere are 212 megapacks. I would imagine this would be really fucking hard. Most larger, more expensive engineering units don't have this. I'm open to the idea, if it exists or there are similar setups then that would show it's possible. Else I'd guess this is like creating Facebook in a weekend. Easy to say. Regulations, security, false positives, unique software.
