Sure, let's assume all solar, and all wind on a continent is zero at once. Let's also assume that somehow all hydroelectric power just so happens to be gone at the same time as will any other alternative power that does exist or may exist in the future. If this happens there are other problems than the wind not blowing that won't be solved by even having weeks of batteries.Good summary of the Megapack business on Reddit:
I thought that the best part was the pricing history of the Megapack. Not enough info to precisely estimate margins in 2023 but it does look like we'll have to burn through a good sized backlog of much lower priced units. Best to lower your expectations on sales and especially profits for TE for at least the next several quarters.
It's borderline laughable to think that there will be three or four days worth of battery installed for each and every household on a whole continent. That will not happen (and not be needed) on a timescale that matters at all to us. In a few specific locations sure, but for everyone. Not gonna happen.
No doubt we will use up all possible battery production for a long long time but lets not pretend this scenario will happen.
