From Gizmodo:”
In December, Elon Musk tweeted that he was so annoyed with California traffic that he was “going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging.” Then he did. That’s why it’s worth believing his latest outlandish proposal: That if he can’t fix South Australia’s power problems in just 100 days, he’ll foot the bill.
“We did it in 90 days in California. Similar sized installation,” Musk told Gizmodo over Twitter DM. True enough, Mira Loma became the home of an 80-megawatt hours battery substation this January—though Ars Technica reports that, including planning, the project took closer to six months. Ten extra days for an additional 20 megawatt hours will be tight, especially since Australia is considerably farther from Tesla’s Gigafactory in Nevada than California.
