As flying cars 'takeoff' vehicle production will reduce, but I am confident Tesla will compete in this platform too. But regarding energy there will be little fluctuation in it's demand, up is up. All power to you Elon, but I only have 20 years left to advise in futurism.
Absolutely!... Tesla is in the business of optimization - There is obvious energy wastes that have not been taken care of, for decades. When I see a home with a pool heated by a heat pump and the house next to it cooled by another heat pump... it is obvious there is a total waste of energy,,, two systems that are obviously complementary wasting energy the other could use.
Highly likely as more eVehicles erode Tesla's market dominance. Only Ford and GM have charging infrastructure plans (that I know of) and the funding for them to compete in the mass-energy storage business will probably not be as well funded as Tesla's. Also, the oil and gas megacorps have yet to seriously step into the fray, which will be a must if they're to prosper in the post-2030s as modern energy companies.
I work at NVGF1, Elon is not just talking. We are adding 2 lines this month. Trying to ramp up production to meet demand. Our demand is greater than our current capacity.

Therefore we had to talk about ways of keeping a low overhead in advertising, distribution and the manufacturing. He said, "They were all very good ideas and that they should be done!" He said he had already made hundreds of millions off of a couple internet companies he started. "One of them was PayPal," he stated. Not that I had really done a lot of online banking or e-transfers at that time I didn't think much of it, until I noticed online about a year later that I could buy something off the computer with my PayPal card! Unfortunately I had just received a promotion as regional manager with the company I was working with. This made me let Elon know that I had to wait for a few years before I could assist further. I keep on sending out messages, hoping that he will get one and reply back. I will probably have to keep on trying, he gets more messages in a day then I would in five years! It is very inspiring to me to have a conversation with someone and they dedicate the next 20 years to making our conversation reality! We also talked about becoming your own best supplier and starting businesses that help your existing business. A type of slingshot effect that he has incorporated very well. It is so ambitious and amazing that he was willing to put pretty much all of his money where his mouth is and just make it happen with a consistent dedication.

Tesla did a great job installing my solar system. The problem is waiting for PTO from California PG&E, over six months after tesla completed their installation, still waiting and my PG&E billings have been higher since the solar system installed.
Get enough solar to get through the day and enough power wall to get through the night. No more power company. The AC unit is the largest draw of power.
@@rtz549 You would be correct, but he said he is still waiting for his PTO (Permission to Operate). So he may have that, just not able to use it yet. Thankfully my PTO only took a few weeks where I live.
The explosive growth of EV vehicles won't look near so amazing when Tesla finally breaks free of the battery constraints they have had to operate under. That time is so close as they are soon to have 4680 batteries in good numbers for their cars and that will free up batteries for their energy projects. Add in their ability to offer virtual power plant systems based on software and AI they have developed and we see an amazing business model. As Tesla will offer not only battery backup solutions they will offer long term management of these systems. It's different than just selling a battery back but a continuing system to manage it that profits everyone involved.

I'll believe it when I see it as far as a home heat pump. There have been residential heat pumps installed at homes all over where I live in Texas for 40 years anyway. Every single one I've been around once the temperature approach is about 36° we'll start icing up on the outside unit till it is solid ice on the coils. Yes the salesman will tell you that it goes into reverse process every so often to thaw the coils out but this doesn't work from about 36 degrees Fahrenheit on down. It might kind of start to melt the ice but soon as it kicks back out into heating mode for inside the ice solids up really quick on it because of the moisture in the air. And without air being able to flow across the coils the house starts getting colder and colder in a downward spiral.
Heat pumps are at least two generations better than 30-40 years ago. I have two with R-134a that work just fine down to 28 F. (We haven't been colder than that). I even turned off the resistive backup. I've read up on the new R-34 which is good to -15 F.
This is exactly why we need one from Tesla. poorly engineered heat pumps have been around for decades. My old freezer used to need defrosting too, my new one is frost free. Things change.
100 and 200 watt solar panels have always been around. Having 600 and 800 watt panels available is a game changer since you can only fit so many panels on your roof. Search Amazon for the panels.
Put panels in your yard, not your roof.!.!.!. Panels on your roof increase insurance costs, building permits and inspection costs.!!.!.. If it snows, you have a hard time clearing them.!.!. I put mine in my yard, on 2x6's, myself, at lower cost, easier maintaince, and lower insurance, and I can tilt them for optimal exposure and 20% gain.!.!. Going on 10 years and much income.!.!.!...
@@philmanke7642 is right, I use portable/foldable 100 watt panels with built-in legs and move them every few hours in backyard, also a reason to go outside and tend to my plants/garden. A rotating motor of some sort would give you maximum energy from your panels without having to manage them, or put them on your roof. There a re a few out there, still too expensive though. I like the idea of having automatic self-folding Solar Trees in our yards someday, chasing the sun as it moves.
Great video. I love the optimism and I'm so glad to see more people realize how the Russian War is an opportunity to accelerate the clean energy transition. I'm super excited at the possibility of Tesla getting into the residential and commercial heat pump industry. I love it!
Nonsense!!!!!! It ain’t going to change nothing, Russia doesn’t just sell gas to Europe but it’s one of the worlds largest weath producer, they also supply Europe and other countries with a lot of raw materials btw.
Tesla ain’t got nothing into heat pump industry, it’s the buildings mostly in the US that needs proper insulation, in Europe and Nordic regions they have super efficient systems and doesn’t need AC at all

Alternative energy is growing but let us not pretend it will be complete within a few years. Gas, coal and oil will still be significant. None of this can be willed into being by government it has to be by the marketplace.
Hi, This is nice but very americanocentric.... -heat pumps are already used to heat a lot of houses in Sweden (using electricity mostly from hydropower and wind power). -No, you can not use a megapack and solarenergy in winter in cold locations (such as Sweden) -we have hardly now sunshine at all in Nov-jan (commmon levels are around 1% of peak power installed) so you have to do somethin else, which is what we do: Hydropower, Wind power and Nuclear power. And b.t.w. we don't use gas, we don't use fossil fuel to generate electricity, but we use it for transport thus the need for Tesla cars! Otherwise thanks for god post...
Thank you for commenting on the potential of a Tesla HVAC system for the home. Given the amount of fossil fuels used for home heating, it would be a massive benefit to have a Tesla HVAC system. I hope Elon is listening.
Tesla's heat pump system is only innovative for automobiles, and at that only half innovative, since the AC that comes in just about every car is a heat pump too. Regular ACs only work in one direction though. Tesla's innovation was a compact valve system that could better control the flow of refrigerant and effectively allow the system to run in reverse. I have to assume it is just a lack of demand / competition that is keeping heat pump prices significantly above regular AC prices. Tesla competition could help, but there isn't anything special about them vs any other heat pump manufacturer. Over diversification is more likely to be a problem for Tesla eventually... It gets difficult to manage too many things at once.
@@privatemale27 Thank you. The Fanboyverse is going nuts with the Tesla HVAC thing. This is not a case where Tesla is going to disrupt anything. Their technology in this area simply isn't disruptive.
@13:00 Since LFP is (or will be this year,) unencumbered by *profit sucking* patents, LFP will undoubtedly be *everywhere* and produced by *everybody.*
LFP costs should drop below $50/kWh. The LFP batteries I'm using with my solar panels are warranted for 10,000 cycles. $50/kWh / 10,000 cycles = $0.005/kWh battery cost to store a kWh of electricity. Store some $0.03/kWh wind or solar for half a penny and you've got dispatchable electricity for less than the cost of buying fuel for a CCNG plant.
@@ronaldlenz5745 Why is Geothermal very expensive? It should NOT be. It is one unit housed indoors, much less copper tubing and freon needed. Rite sizing research needs to be done to determine thermal transfer requirements for the various ground components. With that info meaningful cost estimates could be made. Remember the temp differential between ground and interior of the structure is MUCH less than that of exterior air temp.
@@TreeHugger826 Drilling wells or laying tubing in a trench and all of the pumps, valves and controls is expensive compared to putting an air-to-air heat pump on a pad. Trust me, I'm a chemical engineer. We have two heat pumps heating/cooling our home.
Too expensive. Price out the cost of a geothermal HVAC system. Just build smaller houses instead of these damn mega mansions. Small house = small HVAC = small heating and cooling costs. Less lumber also a plus.
You have got that right. Tesla is not trying to become a General Motors but a General Electric !! There are many on wall street who are yet to get that And I loved the deliciously ironic statement that the US states may not come together but different countries of Europe could to formulate a single storage policy!!
Reinforces and expands on a lot of things I have thought about. The average homeowner in the USA or Europe can add a Tesla solar panel retrofit and a Powerwall or two, create a microgrid, and make a huge difference. Thank you.
That is not even remotely true. Specifically "the average homeowner ...can add". It would take all of them to make a significant difference. All of Europe is harder to gets accurate statistics on but in the USA only about 60% of people even own a home. This includes multi million dollars mansions all the way down to run down old trailer houses and shacks. Based on income statistics of home owners easily less than 1/3 make enough money to even consider installing a simple power wall at a cost of at minimum $11,000. So out of the 20% of the population who are both home owners and could afford a Tesla power wall its fairly safe to say that at least 40% of them will be republicans and vehemently opposed to anything that smells like green energy and will reject the idea out of hand. Leaving us with a best case scenario of only 10% of the total population who own a home, can afford a Tesla power wall, and dont have political views that would cause them to automatically reject the idea. Which is still a long ways from actually agreeing to buy an $11,000 dollar battery.
@@K162KingPin Ever heard of loans? I just installed solar on my farm. Enough to be 90% self reliant. Borrowed the entire amount and with the current electrical prices the money I save on buying electricity will be enough to pay the entire loan off in 4-5 years. With the pre Ukraine prices it would pay itself off in 7-8 years.
@@c0der1020 wow there is a thing called loans? And all I need for collator is a farm? That's pretty cool bro. I wonder what percentage of over extended underpaid home owners could qualify for a loan like that. Wait... No I don't, because its still virtually none of them. You clearly don't understand when you are living paycheck to paycheck you can't even afford the bills you have let alone a loan payment that is much more than your current electric bill. There is no way you bought a solar system you are paying off in 5 years that isn't costing you payments 4-5 times higher than your electric bill is without it. I have priced these systems many times over the years. While prices are higher even now, the prices have consistently been equal to approximately 20 years of electric bills for a given usage. Paying it off sooner only increase your monthly payments and doesn't change the price at all. It does put it out of the reach of those who can't afford the extra expense. If you could get a 20 year loan the interest would ruin any savings you hope for. Before you get too excited thinking that once you pay it off its just free money from then on, keep in mine the batteries which represent at least 1/2 the cost of the system will only last for about 10 years. The charge controllers which represent at least 1/4 of the cost will break down between 13-18 years. So by the time your 20 years is up and the system could start paying for itself you have already had to replace 3/4 of the system. This pushes your "break even" time up to around 27 years, which is about 3 years longer than most solar panels last. I LOVE the idea of solar, but right now its a suckers bet. Unless you are living off grid its going to be much more cost effective and lower monthly cost to just use grid power. As SOON as it is not, I will switch to solar. We just are not there yet.

@@ChairYogaForTheAgeless It feels like, even if unintended, an abuse of audience in principle. Granted, RUclips adsense pays crap compared to years ago and I sympathize. But it feels like many though especially younger channels are thrusting promotions into midvideo where more likely viewers might not take to the time to skip past, thus reaching more people, but in so doing abusing the baseline viewership we give them. Whereas if placed at beginning or end, you still reach people and it feels more honest relationship between creator and viewer. But, overwhelmingly I think the midvideo method is becoming normalized, so I try to make a point of it as sanity permits.
I would love to see homes become energy neutral on many levels: - make all the fuel it needs (electricity) - heat and cool itself - purify it’s air and create much of its own water from the air around it - recycle it’s water and compost the waste from its water - basically be self sufficient through a self sustaining package.
add to that a micro-vertical hydroponic farm that uses the compost and water produced and you have a sustainable closed-loop self-sustaining system. Perfectly possible to achieve now, at the scale of a small village. The payback is less than ten years, and then after you only have the maintenance cost: you would be living at a marginal cost near to zero.
Yeah ... in Qc province, we have hydro power and we heat with electric heater in really cold weather (no one dies of cold like in Tx). So it's definitely possible.
Everyone talks about their cars. I am more interested in their energy division. Not only building more mega packs but deploying them under Tesla energy and continually profiting from them.
I don't see Tesla making a major dent in home heating. Conventional heat pumps are already pretty efficient. Unless Tesla has invented some new physics, I don't think they can be wildly better than what exists today. So much of the success of a heat pump conversion project depends on the rest of the house, not the heat pump. The house needs a tight, well-insulated envelope, and a ducting system that is designed for heating from the outset. Tesla could disrupt the automobile and energy industries because they have fundamentally superior technology that covers a large fraction of the problem. In HVAC, their technology is not ENOUGH better than what exists today, and what they bring to the table is only a small fraction of the problem. (i.e., insulation, sealing, and ductwork need to be in place and of high efficiency.)
@@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis Current HVAC can already filter better than TESLA. Musk said Tesla can filter 10x better than other cars, which is a very low bar.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a home with a Tesla HVAC (heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) system. In most houses, temperature, ventilation, and air quality are continuing problems, along with noise from air con.
You haven't been in most homes. Conventional HVAC from Carrier, Lennox, Trane, etc is quiet and works great. Tesla's technology is not enough better than theirs to create a disruption.
Great video. I'm super excited to see the world is now seriously heading towards a sustainable future. Using LFP cells is a great move - mining the raw materials is much mre eco-friendly then the previous technologies used. It finally seems it's not a green solution with a huge question mark hidden somewhere in the manufacturing part. Also there are other companies that deserve attention not just Tesla. Recently announced geothermal energy project by Quaise would be a great energy solution if successful.
I am a Tesla investor & have a Cybertruck and Model X on order. I'm not sure how to invest in Tesla's energy arena. Is that all under the TSLA umbrella or is Tesla Energy a separate entity to invest in?
All under the same umbrella. If they have to spin some of these lines off into separate securities, they will do so. But GE didn't back in the day, and I don't expect it to be necessary here either.
So proud I am doing my current MBA operations module’s assignment on Tesla, been waking and sleeping this week watching Musk and checking all Tesla’s videos and documentations , Living the Tesla’s story step by step and what an outstanding job Musk has done, a real leader, visionary , strategist and highly charismatic, loved by the crowd, he is one of a kind.
@@bobwallace9753 yeh im in Mississippi and heat pumps struggle here when it gets below 20. When it gets that cold I cut on the heat strips. Because without them the pump will just run constantly and not actually heat the house
@@mitchelllinley9738 I someone lives in a really cold place (Michigan vs. Mississippi) then it probably makes sense to use a geothermal heat pump. Basically some plastic pipe gets trenched in a few feet under the surface of the ground and the heat of the soil (around 55 F) is used to heat the building. It's possible to install geothermal without tearing up an entire yard. A trench is dug on each end of the yard or parking lot/whatever. Then a machine that plumbers use to install new water/sewer lines without making a big mess drills tiny tunnels for the pipe. Do that and when it's 30 below zero you're running your heat pump in on a "warm, sunny 55 degree day".

I replaced my 18 year old Goodman Heap Pump (still working but only 11 SEER) with a new Arco-Air heat pump (16 SEER) and my power bill went down about $40 a month. I should have replaced it sooner! Runs quite too.
I thought batteries were heavily affected by cold. So I would have thought that it would be more effective if the big multi-megapack installations were covered by a building?
I dont think you mentioned the new LARGE uncertainty about sourcing metals for the batteries. Russia has been a major supplier for a few different metals and that source is now cut off. That could really slow down Tesla Energy and Tesla Motors for the next couple years. Kim Java did a video on this.
Tesla signed a 5-year lithium supply deal with Liontown Resources, which is expected to commence in 2024. Liontown will supply Tesla with Lithium Spodumene Concentrate from the battery metal company's new AU$473 million ($338M) Kathleen Valley Lithium Project in Western Australia.
@@leslieramesh Yes, Tesla has lots of contracts around the world for various metals. The metal supplies most threatened by the Russia/Ukraine conflict are Neon, Palladium and Nickel per Kim Java.
@@wilber8260 Neon is a gas, and is extracted from the atmosphere. You can do that anywhere; all you need is a cryogenic distillation plant. Neon is used in lasers in chip fabs. Since it's not consumed in use, there are probably enough lasers to go around for the time being. Palladium is not particularly used in EVs as far as I know. There are sources of Nickel in a variety of countries. I haven't checked out Kim Java's claims, but they sound poorly researched.

I think you put it correctly when you said "Reducing the reliance on fossil fuels.." rather than "Reducing carbon emissions.." or some other misnomer like that.
We're at a crossroads. One path leads back into a few centuries of smoke-filled skies, bad air, (literally _malaria,_ ) coal mines, and oil fields, all ruled over by *_psychopaths._* The other leads to ... _sunshine._ Chose wisely.
Great commentary but give reality a chance. It will be 2023 before scaled availability of source inputs will be ready. Probably September 2023. Megapacks still require the battery cells in scale and new production cannot ramp up overnight.
I'd love to hear more about comparative costs in this video. Cost of legacy natural gas systems and fossil fuel energy v battery and solar. This usually frames the conversation very differently and puts into view the gargantuan challenges ahead.
TIPPING POINT? That was four years ago. Marketing is pure stasticics. I was teaching night school marketing at age 18. At school I had two math PHDs as friends and personal supporters.
So I was talking to my husband about EV and solar the future and he's older than me which I think is the hardest group to get on board with getting rid of fossil fuels all together(which is a finite source it will run out at some point anyways! ). He said it cost a lot to make the battery packs from mining raw materials to finish product and used insane amount of fossil fuels to power the process. I was hoping u could make video on this and look into it. I love your channel and content. U r visionary but still realistic to real possibilities in the future. Thank you we need to spread the info on these possibilities. Also we talk about using EV,solar and battery storage to switch from fossil fuels but when we plug in car for example to our house using electricity isn't our electrical grid getting energy from fossil fuels or nuclear(which has very harmful byproduct that has to be stored somewhere. Again would your thoughts on these topics
If they have built adequate capacity to make cells, that is exciting. Also check out Ambri, which is now doing the first grid-scale installation of liquid metal batteries; this is as game changer! But in your video 5:27. Where does the power come from? Are they using solar cells in Alaska winter? This matters.
Finally we have someone who understands the geopolitical Implication of battery storage systems. Thank you for this post. FYI. If we stop building mega mansion houses and build smaller ones, I.e.,ones that better represent our current demographics, designing and constructing a heat pump for these smaller residential structures would be easier and less expensive. Love to discuss this further.
No offense but not enough people live in Alaska or Alberta to matter when it comes a global scale. Yes I know it matters to those who live but they can super insulate their houses and use small heating systems.
I thought this year would be the year. Actually, barring chip shortages, I thought 2020 would be the year but that's an EXTERNAL problem that threw off the schedule not something wrong with Tesla's plans.

Ford's V2L is going to sell a shitload of F150 Lightnings. It annoys me that I have multiple powerwalls worth of batteries sitting in my Model S that I can't use when the power goes out because Tesla won't allow it.
I'm not sure why you'd want vehicle to grid. Wouldn't you be more worried about needing to go someplace in your car if the power was down? Your only means of transportation would not be available. I think vehicle to grid is one of those things that people want in theory but not in reality. It's just not practical.
One of the criticisms we have heard re EV’s is the fact that our electric grid is already maxed out. What will happen when millions of EV’s hit the streets and depend on the grid to be recharged. This issue is obviously not lost on Elon Musk. His answer is the Megapacks that extract significant efficiency out of energy already available on the grid.
No. First of all, the grid in general is not maxed out. It can easily grow to meet new demand. Megapacks are a replacement for peaker plants, while most charging is done at night, via baseload.
There are local problems that require transformer upgrades, but since most EVs charge at night, the grid doesn’t won’t be maxed out by EVs except in areas where night-time air conditioning use increases a lot, such as California.
Please update your reading list. This has been studied by national energy labs and found out our current grid systems (not the Texas grid) is adequate if we all switched to EV’s which we can’t do. It will take 10 years plus to get 60% of cars totally electric. By then the grids will be updated.
@Paul Daggett One of the areas of weakness for national grids and generation of energy is night time operations. Power plants still have to run at night yet very few people actually consumer power at night. Storing that energy at night will enable power supply to the grid at a local and national level during the day. It could act as a large energy well to make the system more robust. That buffer could use batteries or hydrogen as a storage means. Exotic systems like flywheel energy storage could also be deployed for specialist tasks.
Tesla ramping up Megapack production makes no sense when they could easily team up with "AUREON ENERGY Ltd" and built the newest Fusion Nuclear Reactor of the "SAFIRE REACTOR" with its fantastic ability to produce electricity around the clock at exceedingly lowest prices compared with all other methodologies. It could easily be built super safely in compact form within our communities wherever power is required and therefore it also does not require a complex, vulnerable and expensive electric grid system. It is simply massively world-changing by any measure.
LoL. There is no working, economical fusion reactor presently in existence, and while there might eventually be a fusion reactor that works, I doubt it will ever be economical. Safire doesn't appear to be based on actual science, so I'd really want to see a solid demonstration reactor producing measurable power. I'm not holding my breath.
Dear, Incognito, you must remain Incognito so your comments are like you and weighed down with backwards thinking conservatism and ignorance. Because you did not rote learn it from your teachers, "then it cannot be true", is obviously your mode of reasoning? You need to learn to comprehend for yourself for once in your life! Electric Universe Theory will soon swallow the Standard Model and we will, at last, be breathing clear clean air once more. You need to follow the "Thunderbolts Project" scientists who actually do real experiments to help continuously support their theory. You should try this apparently novel technique! Regards, Dr David Gillman.
It's just not cost efficient where I live to get solar panels and a battery pack. Due to the cost of power, the ROI would be 15 years on the solar panels alone.
@10:05 You are misinformed sir. There's plenty of Heat Pump options on the market that are very high efficiency and are as cheap as anything Tesla could make. Heat Pump manufacturers have been in competition for 50 years and have excellent designs, controls and value.
TESLA ENERGY WILL RULE! 1-2 years backlog already and it has barely begun - Oil at $126.00/barrel and Putin in power=Supercharging the need for more and more and more Tesla energy products and EVs. Tesla shares at
HVAC systems is another industry to revolutionize for Tesla: - Energy displacement is much more effective than producing heat by burning gas, oil or electric heat.
I’d love to see an HVAC product that pull heat off solar panels, it could even reduce the panels to below ambient temperature on the low pressure side of the system. Solar cells function more efficiently when they are colder. This would be ideal for cold climates during peak sun days. It would also be excellent where Industrial heat is needed for drying and other applications. That will probably make the most sense to tackle first. A crypto mining space heater would also be cool.
just installed a killer Mitsubishi heat pump. it is insane. quieter than our fridge. it cost us 4 bucks to cool our house for a month.... works down to -30 F
You must have are really small, REALLY well insulated house. Either that or REALLY cheap electricity. Heat pumps are great; I have one, but they aren't magic.
We would need a far smaller footprint to meet our energyneeds tbh. Americans are a tad more powerhungry than your average european. We've been greener for a while now and electricity has always been kinda expensive overhere.
I thought heat pump don't work for super cold weather area. On the other hand, Japan already have pretty common use of heat pump 10 years ago. It is just not popular in US.
The world's events and weather patterns have brought the energy storage problem to the forefront over the last few years and now with Europe needing to manage electrical loads without so much natural gas being available it's only a matter of time before the storage business takes off. And many forget that Tesla is registered in more and more places as an energy producer and distributor. The software to manage electricity and the ability for Tesla to manage the grid in ways that make renewable energy storage replace physical peaker plants is also ready to explode on the scene as they manage the battery storage energy as well as sell the batteries. That can be a more lucrative business than battery storage long term. So after years of limited batteries available for battery storage projects see that this limiting factor is fading as battery production increases. Anyway you look at Tesla will soon start showing massive increases in profits from battery storage and its management.
What you said about the European Union is beyond the willingness of our country's politicians and oligarchs. We have to convert one of those entities to TESLA & Renewables for our best chances of a greener future. So, how do we do that?!
Isn’t the issue about how do you generate this energy rather than store it? Sure, storing is important when yo7 don’t have enough wind and solar places up, but the transition to green energy is about the generation not the storage….
Electronic air filters have been available since the 80's that filter so well they remove cigarette smoke and all other particles like pollen and dust. Pair that with a charcoal filter and you have a great system to clean your air.
Do Tesla's heat pumps have a technological advantage over the technology available by competitors? Over here in Germany heat pumps are already standard for newly built and well insulated houses. But it is not possible to replace gas powered heaters in older houses with a radiator based system, because it is super inefficient to heat water to required temperatures of 50-60°C with heat pumps. Heating costs would just sky rock.
Sandy Munro seems to think the Tesla thermal system as a whole has many technological/design advantages, especially from an efficiency perspective. He is a big proponent of Tesla, but IMO more qualified to critique/comment than almost any other RUclips creator.
@@12deviated nope it has zero advantage, it’s for a tiny space in a car too, BOSCH, Mitsubishi, DIKIN have heat pumps that even connect with thermal energy from the ground and total home control.
@@12deviated Sandy knows A LOT about automotive engineering and manufacturing. He's such a Tesla fanboy that I think it might be clouding his judgment, but whatever. I don't think he's much of an authority on home and commercial HVAC or building science.
I have been thinking a lot about WHY Tesla energy business is so negligible compared to the car one.... Unfortunately there are some fundamental issues that must be solved: - Powerwall: it's not even SOLD in France at the moment, why? I would be ready to install it in my house.... - Solar panels: currently the production/installation of Tesla Solar Panels is extremely low, even compared to Solar City predecessor, WHY? - Solar tiles: a lot of marketing, customer signed to install them, but it is basically inexistent ....

Do you think we could see Tesla's energy business surpass Tesla's vehicle business by the year 2030? Let us know your thoughts below!
ies
As flying cars 'takeoff' vehicle production will reduce, but I am confident Tesla will compete in this platform too. But regarding energy there will be little fluctuation in it's demand, up is up. All power to you Elon, but I only have 20 years left to advise in futurism.
Absolutely!... Tesla is in the business of optimization - There is obvious energy wastes that have not been taken care of, for decades.
When I see a home with a pool heated by a heat pump and the house next to it cooled by another heat pump... it is obvious there is a total waste of energy,,, two systems that are obviously complementary wasting energy the other could use.
Yes it will for sure
Highly likely as more eVehicles erode Tesla's market dominance. Only Ford and GM have charging infrastructure plans (that I know of) and the funding for them to compete in the mass-energy storage business will probably not be as well funded as Tesla's. Also, the oil and gas megacorps have yet to seriously step into the fray, which will be a must if they're to prosper in the post-2030s as modern energy companies.
I work at NVGF1, Elon is not just talking. We are adding 2 lines this month. Trying to ramp up production to meet demand. Our demand is greater than our current capacity.

The explosive growth of EV vehicles won't look near so amazing when Tesla finally breaks free of the battery constraints they have had to operate under. That time is so close as they are soon to have 4680 batteries in good numbers for their cars and that will free up batteries for their energy projects. Add in their ability to offer virtual power plant systems based on software and AI they have developed and we see an amazing business model. As Tesla will offer not only battery backup solutions they will offer long term management of these systems. It's different than just selling a battery back but a continuing system to manage it that profits everyone involved.

I'll believe it when I see it as far as a home heat pump. There have been residential heat pumps installed at homes all over where I live in Texas for 40 years anyway. Every single one I've been around once the temperature approach is about 36° we'll start icing up on the outside unit till it is solid ice on the coils. Yes the salesman will tell you that it goes into reverse process every so often to thaw the coils out but this doesn't work from about 36 degrees Fahrenheit on down. It might kind of start to melt the ice but soon as it kicks back out into heating mode for inside the ice solids up really quick on it because of the moisture in the air. And without air being able to flow across the coils the house starts getting colder and colder in a downward spiral.
Heat pumps are at least two generations better than 30-40 years ago. I have two with R-134a that work just fine down to 28 F. (We haven't been colder than that). I even turned off the resistive backup. I've read up on the new R-34 which is good to -15 F.
This is exactly why we need one from Tesla. poorly engineered heat pumps have been around for decades. My old freezer used to need defrosting too, my new one is frost free. Things change.
100 and 200 watt solar panels have always been around. Having 600 and 800 watt panels available is a game changer since you can only fit so many panels on your roof. Search Amazon for the panels.
Put panels in your yard, not your roof.!.!.!. Panels on your roof increase insurance costs, building permits and inspection costs.!!.!.. If it snows, you have a hard time clearing them.!.!. I put mine in my yard, on 2x6's, myself, at lower cost, easier maintaince, and lower insurance, and I can tilt them for optimal exposure and 20% gain.!.!. Going on 10 years and much income.!.!.!...
@@philmanke7642 is right, I use portable/foldable 100 watt panels with built-in legs and move them every few hours in backyard, also a reason to go outside and tend to my plants/garden. A rotating motor of some sort would give you maximum energy from your panels without having to manage them, or put them on your roof. There a re a few out there, still too expensive though. I like the idea of having automatic self-folding Solar Trees in our yards someday, chasing the sun as it moves.
Great video. I love the optimism and I'm so glad to see more people realize how the Russian War is an opportunity to accelerate the clean energy transition. I'm super excited at the possibility of Tesla getting into the residential and commercial heat pump industry. I love it!
Nonsense!!!!!! It ain’t going to change nothing, Russia doesn’t just sell gas to Europe but it’s one of the worlds largest weath producer, they also supply Europe and other countries with a lot of raw materials btw.
Tesla ain’t got nothing into heat pump industry, it’s the buildings mostly in the US that needs proper insulation, in Europe and Nordic regions they have super efficient systems and doesn’t need AC at all

Hi,
This is nice but very americanocentric....
-heat pumps are already used to heat a lot of houses in Sweden (using electricity mostly from hydropower and wind power).
-No, you can not use a megapack and solarenergy in winter in cold locations (such as Sweden) -we have hardly now sunshine at all in Nov-jan (commmon levels are around 1% of peak power installed) so you have to do somethin else, which is what we do: Hydropower, Wind power and Nuclear power. And b.t.w. we don't use gas, we don't use fossil fuel to generate electricity, but we use it for transport thus the need for Tesla cars!
Otherwise thanks for god post...
Thank you for commenting on the potential of a Tesla HVAC system for the home. Given the amount of fossil fuels used for home heating, it would be a massive benefit to have a Tesla HVAC system. I hope Elon is listening.
Tesla's heat pump system is only innovative for automobiles, and at that only half innovative, since the AC that comes in just about every car is a heat pump too. Regular ACs only work in one direction though. Tesla's innovation was a compact valve system that could better control the flow of refrigerant and effectively allow the system to run in reverse.
I have to assume it is just a lack of demand / competition that is keeping heat pump prices significantly above regular AC prices. Tesla competition could help, but there isn't anything special about them vs any other heat pump manufacturer. Over diversification is more likely to be a problem for Tesla eventually... It gets difficult to manage too many things at once.
@@privatemale27 Thank you. The Fanboyverse is going nuts with the Tesla HVAC thing. This is not a case where Tesla is going to disrupt anything. Their technology in this area simply isn't disruptive.

@13:00 Since LFP is (or will be this year,) unencumbered by *profit sucking* patents, LFP will undoubtedly be *everywhere* and produced by *everybody.*
LFP costs should drop below $50/kWh. The LFP batteries I'm using with my solar panels are warranted for 10,000 cycles.
$50/kWh / 10,000 cycles = $0.005/kWh battery cost to store a kWh of electricity.
Store some $0.03/kWh wind or solar for half a penny and you've got dispatchable electricity for less than the cost of buying fuel for a CCNG plant.
Imagine pairing a Tesla heat pump to a closed loop geothermal system. You could size the system for Huge energy savings.
Geothermal is very expensive. Air-to-air works down to -15 F with the new R-34 and is so much less expensive.
@@ronaldlenz5745 Why is Geothermal very expensive? It should NOT be. It is one unit housed indoors, much less copper tubing and freon needed. Rite sizing research needs to be done to determine thermal transfer requirements for the various ground components. With that info meaningful cost estimates could be made. Remember the temp differential between ground and interior of the structure is MUCH less than that of exterior air temp.
@@TreeHugger826 Drilling wells or laying tubing in a trench and all of the pumps, valves and controls is expensive compared to putting an air-to-air heat pump on a pad. Trust me, I'm a chemical engineer. We have two heat pumps heating/cooling our home.
Too expensive. Price out the cost of a geothermal HVAC system. Just build smaller houses instead of these damn mega mansions. Small house = small HVAC = small heating and cooling costs. Less lumber also a plus.
Such a no-brainer. There is more energy around us than we could ever use, it's just the capture and storage that needs to be refined.
Always true. Give me your money and I will build the system.
While that is true it will require engineering not government policies or political slogans.
Nice Update 🙏 Hope to continue get updates on Tesla’s energy side since most I see are updates on the automotive side .😜
You have got that right. Tesla is not trying to become a General Motors but a General Electric !! There are many on wall street who are yet to get that
And I loved the deliciously ironic statement that the US states may not come together but different countries of Europe could to formulate a single storage policy!!
Reinforces and expands on a lot of things I have thought about. The average homeowner in the USA or Europe can add a Tesla solar panel retrofit and a Powerwall or two, create a microgrid, and make a huge difference. Thank you.
That is not even remotely true. Specifically "the average homeowner ...can add". It would take all of them to make a significant difference. All of Europe is harder to gets accurate statistics on but in the USA only about 60% of people even own a home. This includes multi million dollars mansions all the way down to run down old trailer houses and shacks. Based on income statistics of home owners easily less than 1/3 make enough money to even consider installing a simple power wall at a cost of at minimum $11,000. So out of the 20% of the population who are both home owners and could afford a Tesla power wall its fairly safe to say that at least 40% of them will be republicans and vehemently opposed to anything that smells like green energy and will reject the idea out of hand. Leaving us with a best case scenario of only 10% of the total population who own a home, can afford a Tesla power wall, and dont have political views that would cause them to automatically reject the idea. Which is still a long ways from actually agreeing to buy an $11,000 dollar battery.
I generate more then I use as long as the air-conditioners don't run. About 4kW.
The average homeowner cannot afford such a system to satisfy your political desires. Let us be honest.
@@K162KingPin Ever heard of loans? I just installed solar on my farm. Enough to be 90% self reliant. Borrowed the entire amount and with the current electrical prices the money I save on buying electricity will be enough to pay the entire loan off in 4-5 years. With the pre Ukraine prices it would pay itself off in 7-8 years.
@@c0der1020 wow there is a thing called loans? And all I need for collator is a farm? That's pretty cool bro. I wonder what percentage of over extended underpaid home owners could qualify for a loan like that. Wait... No I don't, because its still virtually none of them. You clearly don't understand when you are living paycheck to paycheck you can't even afford the bills you have let alone a loan payment that is much more than your current electric bill. There is no way you bought a solar system you are paying off in 5 years that isn't costing you payments 4-5 times higher than your electric bill is without it.
I have priced these systems many times over the years. While prices are higher even now, the prices have consistently been equal to approximately 20 years of electric bills for a given usage. Paying it off sooner only increase your monthly payments and doesn't change the price at all. It does put it out of the reach of those who can't afford the extra expense. If you could get a 20 year loan the interest would ruin any savings you hope for.
Before you get too excited thinking that once you pay it off its just free money from then on, keep in mine the batteries which represent at least 1/2 the cost of the system will only last for about 10 years. The charge controllers which represent at least 1/4 of the cost will break down between 13-18 years. So by the time your 20 years is up and the system could start paying for itself you have already had to replace 3/4 of the system. This pushes your "break even" time up to around 27 years, which is about 3 years longer than most solar panels last.
I LOVE the idea of solar, but right now its a suckers bet. Unless you are living off grid its going to be much more cost effective and lower monthly cost to just use grid power. As SOON as it is not, I will switch to solar. We just are not there yet.

@@ChairYogaForTheAgeless It feels like, even if unintended, an abuse of audience in principle. Granted, RUclips adsense pays crap compared to years ago and I sympathize. But it feels like many though especially younger channels are thrusting promotions into midvideo where more likely viewers might not take to the time to skip past, thus reaching more people, but in so doing abusing the baseline viewership we give them.
Whereas if placed at beginning or end, you still reach people and it feels more honest relationship between creator and viewer.
But, overwhelmingly I think the midvideo method is becoming normalized, so I try to make a point of it as sanity permits.

"What better place than here ? What better time than now ?" Guerilla Radio, RATM ♥️ Great video, as usual. Proud to be one of your patron ! 👏
Good video, thanks! Would love to see residential HVAC.
Tesla's nickel batteries have little to no cobalt
I would love to see homes become energy neutral on many levels:
- make all the fuel it needs (electricity)
- heat and cool itself
- purify it’s air and create much of its own water from the air around it
- recycle it’s water and compost the waste from its water
- basically be self sufficient through a self sustaining package.
Thats very easy just live in a Tent!
Add convenience, and you have a nice dream.
add to that a micro-vertical hydroponic farm that uses the compost and water produced and you have a sustainable closed-loop self-sustaining system. Perfectly possible to achieve now, at the scale of a small village. The payback is less than ten years, and then after you only have the maintenance cost: you would be living at a marginal cost near to zero.
Look up earthships
Sounds nice, but would be terrible inefficiant. No economy of scale ...
btw. Why water from air and ignore normal wells?
Yeah ... in Qc province, we have hydro power and we heat with electric heater in really cold weather (no one dies of cold like in Tx).
So it's definitely possible.
What a great video. Thank you!
Tesla is NOT trying to be GE. Bad comparison, but I get your point. GE getting majority of their revenues from their financing services, not energy.
Residential heat pumps were installed in higher end homes in Europe since i was a kid and I am almost 40 now 🤔
Everyone talks about their cars. I am more interested in their energy division. Not only building more mega packs but deploying them under Tesla energy and continually profiting from them.
I don't see Tesla making a major dent in home heating. Conventional heat pumps are already pretty efficient. Unless Tesla has invented some new physics, I don't think they can be wildly better than what exists today. So much of the success of a heat pump conversion project depends on the rest of the house, not the heat pump. The house needs a tight, well-insulated envelope, and a ducting system that is designed for heating from the outset. Tesla could disrupt the automobile and energy industries because they have fundamentally superior technology that covers a large fraction of the problem. In HVAC, their technology is not ENOUGH better than what exists today, and what they bring to the table is only a small fraction of the problem. (i.e., insulation, sealing, and ductwork need to be in place and of high efficiency.)
I think the main things that they can bring to the table are new ways to minimize cost and better air filtration.
@@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis Current HVAC can already filter better than TESLA. Musk said Tesla can filter 10x better than other cars, which is a very low bar.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a home with a Tesla HVAC (heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) system. In most houses, temperature, ventilation, and air quality are continuing problems, along with noise from air con.
You haven't been in most homes. Conventional HVAC from Carrier, Lennox, Trane, etc is quiet and works great. Tesla's technology is not enough better than theirs to create a disruption.
@@incognitotorpedo42 . Sounds good.
@@incognitotorpedo42 Actually, Tesla won't come out with a product until they can disrupt the industry.
Wonderful and informative video.
Great video. I'm super excited to see the world is now seriously heading towards a sustainable future. Using LFP cells is a great move - mining the raw materials is much mre eco-friendly then the previous technologies used. It finally seems it's not a green solution with a huge question mark hidden somewhere in the manufacturing part.
Also there are other companies that deserve attention not just Tesla. Recently announced geothermal energy project by Quaise would be a great energy solution if successful.
Nicely edited. Good visuals, and you narratives always makes sense. Well done!
I am a Tesla investor & have a Cybertruck and Model X on order.
I'm not sure how to invest in Tesla's energy arena. Is that all under the TSLA umbrella or is Tesla Energy a separate entity to invest in?
All under the same umbrella. If they have to spin some of these lines off into separate securities, they will do so. But GE didn't back in the day, and I don't expect it to be necessary here either.
So proud I am doing my current MBA operations module’s assignment on Tesla, been waking and sleeping this week watching Musk and checking all Tesla’s videos and documentations , Living the Tesla’s story step by step and what an outstanding job Musk has done, a real leader, visionary , strategist and highly charismatic, loved by the crowd, he is one of a kind.
Heat pumps just don't work in really cold weather. They extract heat from the air, once you get below freezing it starts to struggle.
In the very lowest temperature areas a resistive heater is added to the heat pump.
@@bobwallace9753 yeh im in Mississippi and heat pumps struggle here when it gets below 20. When it gets that cold I cut on the heat strips. Because without them the pump will just run constantly and not actually heat the house
@@mitchelllinley9738
I someone lives in a really cold place (Michigan vs. Mississippi) then it probably makes sense to use a geothermal heat pump. Basically some plastic pipe gets trenched in a few feet under the surface of the ground and the heat of the soil (around 55 F) is used to heat the building.
It's possible to install geothermal without tearing up an entire yard. A trench is dug on each end of the yard or parking lot/whatever. Then a machine that plumbers use to install new water/sewer lines without making a big mess drills tiny tunnels for the pipe.
Do that and when it's 30 below zero you're running your heat pump in on a "warm, sunny 55 degree day".
@@bobwallace9753 the good thing is our electricity is only $0.06 per kwh. Half of the national average. That sounds interesting im gonna read up on that.
I never thought about it but your right ..
Houses already use heat pumps. My condo has one and it’s 15 years old. Much more expensive to run then a gas heater…
Maybe models that are 15 years old... New heat pumps are way more efficient.
I replaced my 18 year old Goodman Heap Pump (still working but only 11 SEER) with a new Arco-Air heat pump (16 SEER) and my power bill went down about $40 a month. I should have replaced it sooner! Runs quite too.

I thought batteries were heavily affected by cold. So I would have thought that it would be more effective if the big multi-megapack installations were covered by a building?
It depends on the type of battery. Some are more sensitive to low temps & high temps than others.
Easy enough to warm and insulate it.
I dont think you mentioned the new LARGE uncertainty about sourcing metals for the batteries. Russia has been a major supplier for a few different metals and that source is now cut off. That could really slow down Tesla Energy and Tesla Motors for the next couple years. Kim Java did a video on this.
Tesla signed a 5-year lithium supply deal with Liontown Resources, which is expected to commence in 2024. Liontown will supply Tesla with Lithium Spodumene Concentrate from the battery metal company's new AU$473 million ($338M) Kathleen Valley Lithium Project in Western Australia.
@@leslieramesh Yes, Tesla has lots of contracts around the world for various metals. The metal supplies most threatened by the Russia/Ukraine conflict are Neon, Palladium and Nickel per Kim Java.
@@wilber8260 Neon is a gas, and is extracted from the atmosphere. You can do that anywhere; all you need is a cryogenic distillation plant. Neon is used in lasers in chip fabs. Since it's not consumed in use, there are probably enough lasers to go around for the time being. Palladium is not particularly used in EVs as far as I know. There are sources of Nickel in a variety of countries. I haven't checked out Kim Java's claims, but they sound poorly researched.
How about give China the okay to invade and take over russia?
Great stuff and thanks for this information.
Lfp has recycle cost issues. Until they are resolved I'm not sure if you can consider them sustainable yet.
Why are LFP that different from other lithium battery chemistries when it comes to recycling? I think JB Straubel et al. have this covered.
@@incognitotorpedo42 as I understand, the issue is the value of the recovered raw materials is lower compared to NCA NCM chemistry. Still early and I'm sure they are working on it.
I think you put it correctly when you said "Reducing the reliance on fossil fuels.." rather than "Reducing carbon emissions.." or some other misnomer like that.
We're at a crossroads.
One path leads back into a few centuries of smoke-filled skies, bad air, (literally _malaria,_ ) coal mines, and oil fields, all ruled over by *_psychopaths._*
The other leads to ... _sunshine._
Chose wisely.
What are the PROBABLE PROFIT Margins in the ENERGY BUSINESS? A KEY ISSUE✔️
Great commentary but give reality a chance. It will be 2023 before scaled availability of source inputs will be ready. Probably September 2023. Megapacks still require the battery cells in scale and new production cannot ramp up overnight.
Awesome content!
very great documentation, I love your research and how you distribute the knwoledge. I love it!
This is the kind of positive earth conservation that makes me a true MUSKeteer!!
I'd love to hear more about comparative costs in this video. Cost of legacy natural gas systems and fossil fuel energy v battery and solar. This usually frames the conversation very differently and puts into view the gargantuan challenges ahead.
Geothermal has always been available, even up north.
TIPPING POINT? That was four years ago. Marketing is pure stasticics. I was teaching night school marketing at age 18. At school I had two math PHDs as friends and personal supporters.
So I was talking to my husband about EV and solar the future and he's older than me which I think is the hardest group to get on board with getting rid of fossil fuels all together(which is a finite source it will run out at some point anyways! ). He said it cost a lot to make the battery packs from mining raw materials to finish product and used insane amount of fossil fuels to power the process. I was hoping u could make video on this and look into it. I love your channel and content. U r visionary but still realistic to real possibilities in the future. Thank you we need to spread the info on these possibilities. Also we talk about using EV,solar and battery storage to switch from fossil fuels but when we plug in car for example to our house using electricity isn't our electrical grid getting energy from fossil fuels or nuclear(which has very harmful byproduct that has to be stored somewhere. Again would your thoughts on these topics
Excellent video the tesla space
If they have built adequate capacity to make cells, that is exciting. Also check out Ambri, which is now doing the first grid-scale installation of liquid metal batteries; this is as game changer! But in your video 5:27. Where does the power come from? Are they using solar cells in Alaska winter? This matters.
Interesting , Thank You.
Finally we have someone who understands the geopolitical
Implication of battery storage systems. Thank you for this post.
FYI. If we stop building mega mansion houses and build smaller ones, I.e.,ones that better represent our current demographics, designing and constructing a heat pump for these smaller residential structures would be easier and less expensive. Love to discuss this further.
Anyone watching this from Alaska? Goes below -37 quite often during the winter. Parts of Alberta hit -42 in the winter.
No offense but not enough people live in Alaska or Alberta to matter when it comes a global scale. Yes I know it matters to those who live but they can super insulate their houses and use small heating systems.
I thought this year would be the year. Actually, barring chip shortages, I thought 2020 would be the year but that's an EXTERNAL problem that threw off the schedule not something wrong with Tesla's plans.
Please make the HVAC ground heat source. Air heat source devices are really annoying. Imagine being in a data center with the fans blowing 24/7. Believe me, I *WANT* this, but I want it quiet.
Uhm those things already exist and no data center will work with heat pumps, it’s definitely not efficient at cooling those super hot systems. Also the main sources of inefficiencies in HVAC is the buildings.
@@alanmay7929 I used to live a couple houses from an air source heat pump. It ran at least 12 hours a day. It reminded me of when I worked in a data center, constantly blowing fans.
@@kennethng8346 data centers produces a lot of heat and are mostly built in cold environments to reduce cooling and heat pumps won’t help there.
@@alanmay7929 I'm talking about the SOUND from air source heat pumps, its like being in a data center.
@@kennethng8346 That must have been an old heat pump. Just like my old AC. Noisy as hell. My new AC is very quiet, and my new minisplit heat pump is essentially silent.
Good video.
Typically heat pumps work well in moderately cold locations like Washington DC and farther south. Heat pumps are less effective in colder regions further north in cities like New York city and farther north.
Agree. We are at a tipping point.
I wish Elon would have bought Enphase rather than Solar City( fake business) . Enphase panel based intertie makes Tesla solar panels seem 1980’s.
Next year we have definitely too many batteries for the car demand starting this year already.
What happened to Teslas vehicle to grid capability? I’d really like to be able to power my house with my tesla in times of emergency AND ideally be off grid totally and dump solar power directly into my car
Ford's V2L is going to sell a shitload of F150 Lightnings. It annoys me that I have multiple powerwalls worth of batteries sitting in my Model S that I can't use when the power goes out because Tesla won't allow it.
@@incognitotorpedo42 get a big 12 volt inverter.
I'm not sure why you'd want vehicle to grid. Wouldn't you be more worried about needing to go someplace in your car if the power was down? Your only means of transportation would not be available. I think vehicle to grid is one of those things that people want in theory but not in reality. It's just not practical.
Very encouraging and smart ! Unlike our government.
One of the criticisms we have heard re EV’s is the fact that our electric grid is already maxed out. What will happen when millions of EV’s hit the streets and depend on the grid to be recharged. This issue is obviously not lost on Elon Musk. His answer is the Megapacks that extract significant efficiency out of energy already available on the grid.
No. First of all, the grid in general is not maxed out. It can easily grow to meet new demand. Megapacks are a replacement for peaker plants, while most charging is done at night, via baseload.
There are local problems that require transformer upgrades, but since most EVs charge at night, the grid doesn’t won’t be maxed out by EVs except in areas where night-time air conditioning use increases a lot, such as California.
Please update your reading list. This has been studied by national energy labs and found out our current grid systems (not the Texas grid) is adequate if we all switched to EV’s which we can’t do. It will take 10 years plus to get 60% of cars totally electric. By then the grids will be updated.
@Paul Daggett
One of the areas of weakness for national grids and generation of energy is night time operations. Power plants still have to run at night yet very few people actually consumer power at night.
Storing that energy at night will enable power supply to the grid at a local and national level during the day.
It could act as a large energy well to make the system more robust. That buffer could use batteries or hydrogen as a storage means. Exotic systems like flywheel energy storage could also be deployed for specialist tasks.
Wouldn't it be awesome if Elon announced wireless power pulled from the magnetic energy of the earth, no sun or batteries needed...
I agree, that is what we need, less solar and windmills and use the real earth technology !
Lay off the drugs would you.
Love your channel! 👍🏻
Small note: "takeover" is a noun. You mean "take over".
Thank you !.
Recently there has been an influx of inexpensive heat pumps that are even DIY. Some have previously unheard of SEER ratings in the 30s.
I heard that rage against the machine quote.
Tesla ramping up Megapack production makes no sense when they could easily team up with "AUREON ENERGY Ltd" and built the newest Fusion Nuclear Reactor of the "SAFIRE REACTOR" with its fantastic ability to produce electricity around the clock at exceedingly lowest prices compared with all other methodologies. It could easily be built super safely in compact form within our communities wherever power is required and therefore it also does not require a complex, vulnerable and expensive electric grid system. It is simply massively world-changing by any measure.
LoL. There is no working, economical fusion reactor presently in existence, and while there might eventually be a fusion reactor that works, I doubt it will ever be economical. Safire doesn't appear to be based on actual science, so I'd really want to see a solid demonstration reactor producing measurable power. I'm not holding my breath.
Dear, Incognito, you must remain Incognito so your comments are like you and weighed down with backwards thinking conservatism and ignorance. Because you did not rote learn it from your teachers, "then it cannot be true", is obviously your mode of reasoning? You need to learn to comprehend for yourself for once in your life! Electric Universe Theory will soon swallow the Standard Model and we will, at last, be breathing clear clean air once more. You need to follow the "Thunderbolts Project" scientists who actually do real experiments to help continuously support their theory. You should try this apparently novel technique! Regards, Dr David Gillman.
It's just not cost efficient where I live to get solar panels and a battery pack. Due to the cost of power, the ROI would be 15 years on the solar panels alone.
@10:05 You are misinformed sir. There's plenty of Heat Pump options on the market that are very high efficiency and are as cheap as anything Tesla could make. Heat Pump manufacturers have been in competition for 50 years and have excellent designs, controls and value.
TESLA ENERGY WILL RULE! 1-2 years backlog already and it has barely begun - Oil at $126.00/barrel and Putin in power=Supercharging the need for more and more and more Tesla energy products and EVs. Tesla shares at
HVAC systems is another industry to revolutionize for Tesla:
- Energy displacement is much more effective than producing heat by burning gas, oil or electric heat.
In scandanavia distrikt heating is becoming the "New Thing" at 15-20 of house holds use this green solution.
I’d love to see an HVAC product that pull heat off solar panels, it could even reduce the panels to below ambient temperature on the low pressure side of the system. Solar cells function more efficiently when they are colder.
This would be ideal for cold climates during peak sun days. It would also be excellent where Industrial heat is needed for drying and other applications. That will probably make the most sense to tackle first.
A crypto mining space heater would also be cool.
just installed a killer Mitsubishi heat pump. it is insane. quieter than our fridge. it cost us 4 bucks to cool our house for a month.... works down to -30 F
You must have are really small, REALLY well insulated house. Either that or REALLY cheap electricity. Heat pumps are great; I have one, but they aren't magic.
We would need a far smaller footprint to meet our energyneeds tbh. Americans are a tad more powerhungry than your average european. We've been greener for a while now and electricity has always been kinda expensive overhere.
I thought heat pump don't work for super cold weather area. On the other hand, Japan already have pretty common use of heat pump 10 years ago. It is just not popular in US.
The world's events and weather patterns have brought the energy storage problem to the forefront over the last few years and now with Europe needing to manage electrical loads without so much natural gas being available it's only a matter of time before the storage business takes off. And many forget that Tesla is registered in more and more places as an energy producer and distributor. The software to manage electricity and the ability for Tesla to manage the grid in ways that make renewable energy storage replace physical peaker plants is also ready to explode on the scene as they manage the battery storage energy as well as sell the batteries. That can be a more lucrative business than battery storage long term. So after years of limited batteries available for battery storage projects see that this limiting factor is fading as battery production increases. Anyway you look at Tesla will soon start showing massive increases in profits from battery storage and its management.
I think it could be very close for sure.
Hope Tesla Powers everything with solar and batteries while leaving everyone else standing around!
That would be a great addition, an energy efficient heat pump. I live in North East Canada and it can get extremely cold. 🇨🇦 👍
What you said about the European Union is beyond the willingness of our country's politicians and oligarchs. We have to convert one of those entities to TESLA & Renewables for our best chances of a greener future. So, how do we do that?!
excellent
Bravo Good Captain Elion MUSK
We need a evolution in our tech .
Isn’t the issue about how do you generate this energy rather than store it? Sure, storing is important when yo7 don’t have enough wind and solar places up, but the transition to green energy is about the generation not the storage….
May be a silly question, Why the red x for each chapter? Looks like a problem the solution.
Megapacks : sold out till 2023

Teslas tipping point was June ‘20 imo. From now on every years another one.
We need something for the air quality in our homes. This would be great!
Electronic air filters have been available since the 80's that filter so well they remove cigarette smoke and all other particles like pollen and dust. Pair that with a charcoal filter and you have a great system to clean your air.
Do Tesla's heat pumps have a technological advantage over the technology available by competitors? Over here in Germany heat pumps are already standard for newly built and well insulated houses. But it is not possible to replace gas powered heaters in older houses with a radiator based system, because it is super inefficient to heat water to required temperatures of 50-60°C with heat pumps. Heating costs would just sky rock.
I had a heat pump system in Ohio in the 1980s. ;)
Sandy Munro seems to think the Tesla thermal system as a whole has many technological/design advantages, especially from an efficiency perspective.
He is a big proponent of Tesla, but IMO more qualified to critique/comment than almost any other RUclips creator.
@@12deviated nope it has zero advantage, it’s for a tiny space in a car too, BOSCH, Mitsubishi, DIKIN have heat pumps that even connect with thermal energy from the ground and total home control.

Not enough batteries right now to divert to storage. They need them all for cars.
I have been thinking a lot about WHY Tesla energy business is so negligible compared to the car one....
Unfortunately there are some fundamental issues that must be solved:
- Powerwall: it's not even SOLD in France at the moment, why? I would be ready to install it in my house....
- Solar panels: currently the production/installation of Tesla Solar Panels is extremely low, even compared to Solar City predecessor, WHY?
- Solar tiles: a lot of marketing, customer signed to install them, but it is basically inexistent ....
