| Tesla sued for failing to fulfill technology promise You mean they will not have human androids out by the end of the year? Elon Musk is famous for becoming a little too enthusiastic about his technology’s potential, this year he even claimed he would have a human android which was affordable available. However it appears his mouth might have gotten him into trouble down under. Tesla's Big Battery, located in southern Australia, just got hit with a federal lawsuit for failing to provide the crucial grid support it once promised it could. Built by Tesla in 2017, the 150-megawatt battery supplies 189 megawatt-hours of storage and was designed to support the grid when it becomes overloaded. Now operated by French renewable energy producer Neoen, it supplies storage for the adjacent Hornsdale wind farm, using clean energy to fill gaps that coal power leaves behind. However, the Australian Energy Regulator (AER), the body that oversees Australian wholesale electricity and gas markets, announced it had filed a federal lawsuit against the Hornsdale Power Reserve (HPR) -- the energy storage system that owns the Tesla battery -- for failing to provide "frequency control ancillary services" numerous times over four months in the summer and fall of 2019. https://fudzilla.com/news/53610-tesl...nology-promise |
