Part 7/9:
Tesla’s focus on establishing local Megapack factories worldwide—possibly even before establishing auto factories—speaks to a strategic prioritization: build the backbone of energy infrastructure first. It’s a blueprint rooted in global expansion and technological leadership.
Furthermore, the discussion extends beyond batteries and into the realm of alternative clean energy sources. Nuclear power, despite regulatory hurdles, remains a potential game-changer if it can be scaled responsibly. The conversation hints at other promising technologies like hydrogen fuel cells, which could address seasonal storage needs where batteries fall short—such as storing excess summer solar power for winter consumption.
