On Thursday, Tesla rolled out a suite of batteries in an effort to
wean the U.S. – and the world – off fossil fuels. And, of course,
convince Americans to buy lots of its batteries.
“Tonight is about a fundamental transformation about how the world
works,” CEO Elon Musk said during a presentation on at an event at the
Tesla Design Studio in Hawthorne, Calif. announcing Tesla Energy
batteries.
Saying that Tesla is no longer just an automotive company, Musk is
looking to enable homes, businesses, and utilities to both store and
manage solar energy.
“We have this handy fusion reactor in the sky called the sun [which] produces ridiculous amounts of power,” Musk said.
