Telling Musk to “stick his sub where it hurts” is not necessarily the same as suggesting he “engage in a sexual act”.

think i might be detecting some attempt to present an equivalency between submarines and children here, elon sees the sub as his child perhaps

I mean obviously the glaring problem is that it’s a craven, manipulative billionaire weirdo punching wayyyyy down to a literal hero who rescues children from cave death, but if the tables were turned we do have to admit that “this British expat guy who lives in Thailand (sus)” is kind of a good zing

In keeping with the spirit of the thread, may I present this amazing article about the "solar roof" vaporware
money quotes:
"...the company instructed some employees to avoid fielding Solar Roof inquiries due its limited availability."
and this:
"One user said Tesla has been unable to given even a rough estimate of when their systems will be delivered."
here's the full article:

I never asked my friend about it but the impression I got was that coordinating panel installation as a front for selling the home batteries wasn't working great, and then the actual home batteries aren't a great business either
― mh, Thursday, 19 July 2018 18:30 (five years ago) link
the Powerwalls are mostly useless IMO, the LG Chem batteries seamlessly integrate with Solar Edge inverters. LG is now sold out until August/September, indicating that there is high demand for a product that doesn't depend on "authorized dealers"
― sleeve, Thursday, 19 July 2018 18:32 (five years ago) link
I would think powerwall would appeal to island dwellers and wilderness buffs only - or rich people who want to be green
― Rabbit Control (Latham Green), Friday, 20 July 2018 15:12 (five years ago) link
it's useless without the power grid, not designed for off-grid systems
― sleeve, Friday, 20 July 2018 15:20 (five years ago) link
The Powerwall 2 is probably the best home battery you can buy today but far from the best there could be and they are not without issues. Price/performance is really good. None of this really matters because they are almost unobtainable.
LGChem comprehensively outsell them in Australia because they have stock available where Tesla don’t. In Germany Sonnen beats Tesla as do a number of other brands partly because germans buy German, are prepared to pay a premium for quality and partly because Sonnen offer a longer performance warranty.
The SolarEdge LG combo is okay, especially if you go DC coupled and need an optimiser solution. It’s somewhat let down by a somewhat elderly control system which doesn’t react particular quickly to changes in load which wastes a bit of energy. The LGChem battery is tricky to site outdoors as it is passive cooled and doesn’t like sunshine, much better in a garage or cellar.
Huawei have an interesting inverter that works with the LGChem packs but I have had a chance to test one yet.

there is talk in my town of replacing a power substation with batteries - I dont know much about such things but I imagine a warehouse of powerwalls to supplement the grid
― Rabbit Control (Latham Green), Friday, 20 July 2018 16:13 (five years ago) link
Replacing a substation with batteries doesn’t seem credible but using them to defer or displace a capital upgrade, eg. a new transmission line or transformer is credible. Tesla’s powerpack commercial battery is a pretty good piece of engineering. The liquid cooling allows them to creat a flexible, modular system that consists of inverter and battery blocks that are the size of an oversized telephone kiosk.
Most other manufacturers aircool and use computer racking, often mounted in shipping containers to hold racks of batteries like servers, with separate containers for inverters etc.
Whose batteries are better depends on the application, duty cycle and how badly Elon wants to do the project.
Fun fact Tesla uses Samsung cells in powerwalls and power packs when they can’t make enough of their own.

I think Latham is referring to using storage to decommission natural gas peakers, in Oxnard specifically:
