And it’s not hard to guess what the state of Texas deserved. This is, of course, the recent unexpectedly sharp “outburst” of Arctic weather, which has brought temperatures well below zero and serious energy supply problems. Local chip makers also took it, who had to abruptly suspend production to make power available for more urgent purposes, and production must now be resumed with difficulty, which is why Samsung and others are counting losses, and because of the already desperately insufficient capacity of the semiconductor industry, it also does not bode well. –

The problems in Texas occurred in about mid-February, so Tesla’s response is really very fast (unless it’s a coincidence), because according to Bloomberg (via Ars Technica) is already building a new large battery in Texas. Marx Felix was right at the place where he was told that the project was secret. He could not take photographs, but with the use of a drone he could look at the construction from a height. The picture shows us 20 large battery units at the site where, according to available information, Gambit Energy Storage LLC, a Tesla subsidiary, is building. –

Document available on the website of the city of Angleton already speaks openly about the battery system of a certain company Plus Power, but shows the battery systems of Tesla. Plus Power Bloomberg confirmed that she started the construction herself and then handed it over to another company.-
According to the Texas Electric Reliability Council, the city of Angleton is supposed to represent a particularly vulnerable place within the distribution network, so the new battery will serve as an important stabilizing element and will offer a capacity of at least 100 MWh.
It must also be said that Tesla itself, which is building a new car factory in this state near Austin, is also very interested in a stable energy supply in Texas. In addition, it is also Musk’s company SpaceX, which has its own test facility at McGregor, and then it is also a much better-known facility at Boca Chica, from where, among other things, a number of Starship prototypes have taken off.
