Just earlier this month, Elon Musk successfully installed world's largest lithium-ion battery in Australia, thanks to Tesla. And it's already performing miracles!

Elon Musk's massive backup lithium-ion battery installed in South Australia kicked into action few days ago and delivered 100 megawatts of power into the national electricity grid in just 140 milliseconds. This happened when a coal-fired electric plant in Australian state of Victoria failed, leading to a power cut.
Coming to instant rescue, just in the nick of time, was Elon Musk's giant Tesla battery -- exceeding expectations of veterans of Australia's power industry.?
Analysts were shocked by the nimbleness of the Tesla battery, as to how quickly it jumped into action. Where most power stations take anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour to fill in the deficit power supply, Tesla's battery performed nothing short of a miracle to restore power within 140 seconds.
"That's a record and the national operators were shocked at how quickly and efficiently the battery was able to deliver this type of energy into the market," State Energy Minister Tom Koutsantonis told 5AA radio, according to an IBT report.
Genius?
Is there anything that this guy, and his technology, can't do?!?
