Aerial Discovery of the Megapack Fleet
Met God in Wilderness, a dedicated Tesla watcher, recently took to the skies to capture footage of the Fremont Factory and Lathrop Megafactory. During the flyover, the drone operator spotted an impressive sight—113 Megapack batteries neatly arranged in the staging area of the Lathrop Megafactory. But that wasn't all! Across the road, another 157 Megapacks were observed in a nearby staging area.
Strong Momentum for Tesla Energy
The discovery of this Megapack fleet suggests that Tesla Energy is poised to end the year on a high note. While Tesla Energy often takes a backseat to the company's electric vehicle business, this division has gained momentum throughout the year. In Tesla's Q2 2023 Update Letter, it was revealed that the Lathrop Megafactory has played a significant role in driving the growth of Tesla Energy as a whole.
According to Tesla's update, "Energy storage deployments increased by 222% YoY in Q2 to 3.7 GWh, another strong quarter due to the ongoing ramp of our first dedicated Megapack factory (Megafactory) in Lathrop, CA. The ramp of this 40 GWh Megafactory – the first of many – has been successful with still more room to reach full capacity.'
