Tesla is Shipping Hundreds of Powerwalls

To Puerto Rico

  • In a continued streak of goodwill during this year’s devastating hurricane season, Tesla has been shipping hundreds of its Powerwall batteries to Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. Since the hurricane hit on 20 September, much of the U.S. territory has been left without power — about 97 percent, as of 27 September — hampering residents’ access to drinkable water, perishable food, and air conditioning. The island’s hospitals are struggling to keep generators running as diesel fuel dwindles.

  • restoring power to Puerto Rico will be both difficult and expensive: “Transformers, poles, and power lines snake from coastal areas across hard-to-access mountains. In some cases, the poles have to be maneuvered in place with helicopters.” Tesla’s Powerwall systems could provide lifesaving energy while those repairs are in process.

Why build it back the way it was before the Hurricane knocked it flat? Learn from the experience, use the appropriate technology. Build it better and stronger.



and stuff.
don't rebuild it the way it WAS..
make it better.

Exactly what I say. Build it better and stop wasting time and money on the same process. Thanks for your post.

A nice Tesla gesture and also hopefully they'll get some media-coverage boost out of it, basically sounds like it could be a win-win!!!
