| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody Rob Maower here and today we are primarily talking about Tesla Energy. |
| 0:11.6 | Tesla has officially launched its energy service in the United Kingdom, |
| 0:15.3 | and with that they've shared a lot of interesting details on their plans in that market. |
| 0:19.7 | We then also have an update on delivery for Tesla's latest product. |
| 0:24.0 | All right, so starting off with Tesla Energy, Tesla Today updated their website in the UK. |
| 0:28.0 | You can actually access this from, I believe, any country as long as you just go to the drop down and change a location. |
| 0:33.7 | So in the UK on Tesla's home page they are now featuring a new product, quote, the Tesla Energy |
| 0:38.8 | Plan designed for homes with solar and power wall, end quote. Tesla also has a nice little two minute video there sort of running through the entire |
| 0:45.8 | process end to end, but basically what this energy plan does is utilize Tesla power walls to create |
| 0:52.3 | a virtual power plant in which Tesla will utilize their |
| 0:55.3 | automator software to manage energy storage levels in different distributed energy storage products |
| 1:01.0 | such as the power wall. This adds value in a number of different |
| 1:04.4 | ways but I think the simplest way to understand it is to think of it as somewhat |
| 1:08.2 | balancing the grid out. Tesla can purchase energy when it's really cheap, store it |
| 1:12.4 | in the distributed network of |
| 1:13.5 | power walls, and then resell it when energy prices are high. |
| 1:16.7 | That's all managed in real-time automatically by AutoBitter software that helps balance |
| 1:20.7 | out the grid, and then Tesla can profit from the differences in those selling prices. |
| 1:24.8 | This is of course in addition to the normal benefits of having a power wall, which would be to store |
| 1:29.3 | your renewable energy so that you can use that energy when your power production is not that high, and then of course having backup energy in case of a power outage. |
| 1:38.0 | What that virtual power plant functionality enables is for Tesla to partner with an energy retailer, in this case Octopus Energy in the UK, |
| 1:46.0 | to provide Tesla customers that have a Powerball with a much cheaper energy plan than they could get anywhere else. |
