Tesla Megapacks: Huge Quantity Of Over Half a Billion Dollars Worth Spotted at Lathrop, CA

There's an enormous amount of Tesla Megapacks, and they're at Tesla's Lathrop, CA factory. In fact, there is over half a billion dollars worth of Megapacks!
Tesla Megapacks: Huge Quantity Spotted at Lathrop - Half a Billion Worth

Tesla Megapack Flyover: 258 Spotted

In what is the most amount of Tesla Megapacks I've ever seen at one time, a flyover revealed 258 Tesla Megapacks as counted by a flyover drone. There were 74 Tesla Megapacks on the other side of the factory, for a total of 332.

That is an incredible amount of Tesla Megapacks which have a total cost of about $2.1 million per pack (including installation) for the highest end Megapacks, meaning this bundle of Tesla Megapacks is worth about $540 million (or more) or over half a billion dollars.

It will be interesting to see who the customer is for this, but I imagine that Utility companies across the U.S. and Canada are currently the prime market for the Tesla Megapack.

There is a wait time of about a year for the Tesla Megapack, and it requires a $1,000 non-refundable reservation deposit.

There are 2-hour and 4-hour duration Megapacks, with the 2-hour duration having 1,927 kW / 3,854 kWh per Megapack and a round trip efficiency of 92%. The 4-hour duration have 979 kW / 3,916 kWh per Megapack and a round trip efficiency of 93.7%.

The dimensions are 347 in. wide, 65 in. deep and 110 in. tall and one weights about 84,000 lbs. max.

Tesla Energy

The Tesla Megapack is Tesla's primary revenue generator for the Tesla energy business, with the PowerWall and Solar Roof coming in distant second and third. A fun fact is that the Tesla Cybertruck will equal about 10 Tesla PowerWalls due to its ability to have dual-direction power capabilities.

By the end of the decade, I expect Tesla energy to be worth north of $100 million, with the Tesla Megapack being the primary way utility companies provide grid stability and make additional profits. Yes, the Tesla Megapack will help utility companies make more money. How, you might ask?

A Utility company can take energy during the night and fill up the Tesla Megapacks. During the day, the utility company can then sell that energy to customers at a higher cost than it was to fill up the Tesla Megapack batteries. The cost difference is profit for the Utility company. Day after day, these profits will add up.

Will Tesla energy offer any additional products besides the Megapack, PowerWall, and Solar Roof? I don't think we'll see anything anytime soon. The only thing I could think of that Tesla energy might get into in the future is building large solar arrays. But, Tesla would have to have a new factory designated to this purpose.

Who do you think these Megapacks are going to? Will we see even more than these in the future?
