So, it's difficult to imagine that. We just cannot fit the Model Y production at Freemont. We're jammed to the gills here, so one thing I'm sure it's not here.
It is crazy packed. We'll probably figure out what the optimal location is for Model Y production but it's not here at Freemont. - Alright, so there you have it. Definitely Model Y not happening at Freemont. Production will not begin in 2019 as writers have reported from the leak, which Elon had no clue where that came from, but he did say early 2020. So, things are happening which would make sense then that this year 2018 we would see an unveiling. We would start to take reservations, because it's a two year time window kind and if you equate it to what the Model 3 was. Very interesting stuff, because and we'll talk about this a little bit more later, but the question then becomes, if you're not making it at Freemont, where are you going to make it? And so I have that clip for you, as well as some other bits about that in a second here. Okay, now an underreported piece which, when me and Gali did our interview this past Saturday we talked about it. He was in agreement that this was something that is underreported but very interesting, and it is the future of Tesla energy. So, let's go and look at that now. - [Galileo] In particular, how has this successful project in South Australia sort of changed the industry perception of what batteries can do? - [Elon Musk] Yeah, I think it's had quite a profound effect, there's south Australia took a chance on doing the world's biggest factory and it's worked out really well. If you read the articles it's worked out far beyond their expectations, because the factories there will respond at the millisecond level, far faster than any hydrocarbon plant, and so its value to civilization was actually much greater actually than even a gas turbine plant which normally responds quite fast. So, you know it's kinda like if you get a Tesla, and you have that instant acceleration, feels like you have sort of a mind meld with the car. So, it's like the car is you. And that same rapid response is true of the factory pack. So the cusp was that the utilities that I've worked with thus far, I've really loved the battery pack and I feel confident that we'll be able to announce a deal at the gigawatt hour scale within a matter of months. So, it's a thousand gigawatts. - [Galileo] What megawatt, a thousand megawatt? - So, a gigawatt scale project. And I just wanna put that in perspective here. This is some analysis I did awhile ago when I was trying to figure out what it would take for Tesla to entirely power or have the battery backup for Puerto Rico. Because Puerto Rico is still having issues as actually one of my friends just went there recently, posted a great video on it. And so I'll put a link to that as well, but just to put that in perspective, right. So, the first time they did this was in Tau, American Samoa and this was a 6 megawatt, and then in Kauai, Hawaii, which I'm hoping to get a tour of that soon. If you live in Kauai you know where it is, please message me, let me know. Also talking to Tesla, if we can get an official tour, but it would be nice. Anyways, long story short that's 52 megawatts, still, that's huge, that's big. Now, the south Australia one, largest one ever in the world, 129 megawatts. What we're talking about is a gigawatt, which is 1,000. So, a ten x over the south Australia one. Now, if they're doing this, I imagine it would be in Puerto Rico, that's just my guess.
