The problem with the negativity and anti-Tesla speak, is they aren't purely about one model of business. They own many many different technologies that they lease out to other companies. The battery facility will power not only Tesla's, but many other products. They are just one pillar in a field of many. Despite what many would like to believe, they have the very real possibility of leading a more electric life for America. I welcome it as someone that sees competition and energy source diversity as important.
My interest in Tesla lies in their use of the battery technology as storage devices for home solar systems. The biggest drawback of any Solar tech is there is no real "storage unit" for which you can maintain a constant power supply. If the sun isn't shining, or the power isn't on, it's useless. I'm hoping Tesla's home battery pack tech ends up being worthwhile.
