Part 7/11:
This technology addresses a critical challenge: energy wastage and grid inefficiency, where roughly 50% of generated energy is lost or unused. By implementing MegaBlocks, Tesla aims to store excess energy—from renewable sources like solar—and release it during peak demand periods, thereby smoothing the energy curve and increasing overall capacity without building new power plants.
Josh notes that a single Megapack can power about 170 average American homes for a day, and Tesla plans to use these units not just for grid stabilization but as a backbone for powering AI training centers and space exploration initiatives.
