The battery is, to my knowledge, the first of its kind that absorbs solar energy and is able to store it for long periods of time without solar recharge. Yes its expensive now, but it will lessen over time and with perfecting of the technology. I'm no expert, but I wouldn't knock it quite yet.

  hey eyeliner. If you are responding to a comment, click "Reply" underneath the comment to start a thread. Elon Musk is a crony. He panhandles for govt subsidy for his ideas. Many of his ideas are boats which do not hold water but sound really cool. He is quite the showman. Buyer beware

I like the technology but I agree that the free market should decide its fate. I hope the government doesn't start subsidizing it.

Legit overpriced answer to a problem already solved by inexpensive generators.
Just another attempt by looter Musk to divert your scarce resources for his ill advised projects.
