Tesla just went nuclear on solar

Tesla is building a 100 GW solar panel factory in Brookshire, Texas - full vertical integration from ingot to finished panel, all under one roof

• 1.65 million square feet
• Co-located with its new $200M Megapack Megafactory

That’s roughly 10% of the world’s current solar manufacturing capacity in a single facility outside Houston

And the deals are already rolling in:
• Meta tapped Tesla for a massive Wyoming project: 365 MW solar + 200 MW / 1,600 MWh of Tesla batteries, with the battery portion alone reportedly around $200M
• Giga Berlin just got another $250M investment, with battery cell capacity doubling from 8 GWh to 18 GWh
• Model Y became the first EV in history to surpass 100,000 new registrations in Norway

Tesla Energy is no longer some side business hiding behind the car company

It’s becoming one of the foundations of the global energy stack

• Solar generation
• Battery storage
• Grid-scale Megapacks
• Home energy products
• EV charging
• Software to control it all

Tesla is not just building EVs
It’s building the deep infrastructure layer for the sustainable future

"You’re witnessing an extinction event.
In 2025, EVs removed 1.8m barrels of oil use every single day.
That’s 13% of total US crude production wiped out by electric cars.
EV sales also just smashed through 25% of global car sales.
It’s an extinction event for the petrol engine and the toxic industry that fuels it."

A viral thermal-imaging clip circulating in April 2026 is spotlighting the starkly different heat signatures of electric and gasoline-powered cars on the road. In the footage, gasoline vehicles appear noticeably hotter around the engine bay and exhaust system, while electric cars tend to show smaller hot zones concentrated around the wheels, brakes, and underbody components because their drivetrains waste far less energy as heat. That pattern matches U.S. government efficiency data showing EVs convert more than 77% of electrical energy from the grid into power at the wheels, while conventional gasoline vehicles convert only about 12% to 30% of fuel energy into motion. This visualization highlights the energy WASTED by gas cars.
The video has sparked debate online, but thermal specialists note that wheel and brake temperatures can vary sharply depending on speed, braking, tire load, alignment, and how long a vehicle has been driving before the image was captured. Even so, published thermography comparisons show EV hoods running clearly cooler than gasoline cars, reinforcing the broader point that combustion vehicles shed far more waste heat through engines and exhaust systems than battery-electric models do in normal operation.

Although there are all sorts of speculation and fanciful renderings out there, in my opinion, this is the most accurate rendering of the upcoming Tesla CyberSUV. It is heavily based off the sneak peak from Tesla's own press release during a quarterly shareholder meeting. It will be a full sized 3 row SUV roughly the size of a Chevy Suburban.

Tesla's latest battery packs rolling off the Giga Shanghai production line are delivering 6 km of driving range from a single kWh of energy. At current electricity rates that works out to just 6 cents per kilometer to drive. To understand how cheap that is, consider that a petrol car averaging 10 km per liter at current fuel prices costs roughly 15 to 20 cents per kilometer, meaning Tesla owners are driving at a third of the cost before factoring in zero oil changes, no transmission servicing and minimal brake wear. The efficiency number is also a manufacturing story because Giga Shanghai just crossed the 5 million battery pack milestone, and at that volume even small improvements in cell chemistry and pack design compound into massive cost savings per vehicle. New footage from inside the facility shows high-speed automated lines assembling packs at a pace that no other EV factory in the world can match. Six cents per kilometer means a daily 50 km commute costs roughly $3, a weekly fuel bill of about $15 and an annual driving cost that most people spend on a single month of petrol.

☀️ A New Era for Global Energy
The Atacama Desert is no longer just a barren landscape of salt and sand, but the heart of a global energy revolution. Chile has officially launched an ambitious solar energy project that leverages the highest solar radiation levels on the planet to produce electricity at an unprecedented scale. This development signifies a major shift in the global energy market, proving that renewable sources can meet the demands of a modern economy while significantly reducing reliance on traditional fuels.
🏗️ Advanced Technology and Engineering
The project utilizes a combination of cutting edge technologies to ensure that power remains available even when the sun is not shining. By integrating massive photovoltaic arrays with advanced concentrated solar power systems, the facility captures intense heat and stores it for later use. This approach addresses the common issue of consistency in renewable energy by providing a reliable, 24 hour power supply to the national grid.
* Thousands of high efficiency mirrors reflecting sunlight toward a central receiver tower
* Advanced molten salt storage systems that retain heat for up to 17 hours
* A massive footprint spanning thousands of acres in the driest desert on Earth
📉 Historical Economic Milestones
The most significant achievement of this expansion is the dramatic reduction in electricity costs for the general public and industrial sectors. Recent energy auctions associated with these developments resulted in the lowest electricity price ever recorded, reaching as low as 13.32 dollars per megawatt hour. This financial milestone demonstrates that clean energy is now the most competitive option available, effectively outperforming the costs associated with coal and gas power plants.
🌍 Leading the Path to Zero Emissions
This transition is a central pillar of a broader national strategy to achieve complete carbon neutrality and phase out all coal fired generation facilities. By harnessing the natural power of the desert, the region is positioning itself as a primary leader in the global green energy movement. The success of these facilities serves as a clear blueprint for other nations, showing that a combination of geographic advantages and technological innovation can lead to a cleaner and more affordable future. 💡

U.S. natural gas prices are down 28% year-to-date, while European natural gas price average is up 58%.

U.S. gasoline prices are 32% lower than in China and almost 45% lower than the EU average.

And we're eliminating the trade deficit through energy exports.

"Energy Dominance" is not a slogan or an ideology; it is strategic logic. The whole world understood that when it was OPEC with the upper hand. Why can't they see it now?

Gasoline Is a LOT Cheaper in the U.S. Than Overseas. Here's Why.

Even as the war in Iran has pushed up U.S. gasoline prices, American drivers are still paying dramatically less than people around the world.

Here’s why America wins at the pump:

• We produce more oil than any nation on Earth — more than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined. That's almost three times as much oil as we produced in the fake "Peak Oil" days of the 2000s.

That makes us way more insulated from global supply shocks than almost anywhere else.

• Our gas taxes are tiny compared to most foreign countries. Only about 60 cents of what we pay is federal and state taxes.

Compare that to Germany: $8.75 a gallon, with more than half of it taxes (VAT + excise duties). Across most of Europe, taxes make up 50–60% of the price at the pump. That's on TOP of the real cost.

Americans drive an average of 13,000 miles a year. We feel every penny at the pump more than most nations. Yet thanks to American energy strength and low taxes, we enjoy a massive advantage most of the world can only envy.

How could we go even lower? Build more refineries. America hasn't built a new one since the 1970s. But Trump is making new construction possible again — which will skyrocket supply and cut costs.

This is what energy dominance + pro-consumer policy actually delivers for families, truckers, farmers, and manufacturers.

Energy independence isn’t just talk — it saves real money every single day.
