Tesla has made headlines this week by setting a new production record at its Gigafactory in Nevada, where the company manufactured over 500 Powerwall battery units in just one shift. This impressive feat, announced on the Tesla Energy X account, underscores the company's commitment to advancing home energy solutions and marks a significant achievement for their energy division, especially following the recent debut of the next-generation Powerwall.
This notable milestone follows Tesla's announcement in February that it had surpassed 600,000 Powerwall installations globally, further solidifying its position as a leader in home energy storage. The company frequently shares its achievements, having highlighted milestones such as the production of its five millionth drive unit at Giga Nevada earlier this year. The Energy division is currently ramping up operations, setting multiple production and delivery records throughout 2023.
In the second quarter alone, Tesla deployed a record 9.4 GWh of battery storage hardware, surpassing its previous first-quarter record. Additionally, the profitability of Tesla's larger Megapack units reached an all-time high in Q1, while the newly launched Powerwall 3 made its debut in the U.S. market during the same period.
Since its U.S. launch, the Powerwall 3 has expanded to international markets, including Canada, Germany, and the UK. The updated unit is designed to endure harsh weather conditions and has been showcased in unique advertisements, including one where it was submerged in water.
Customer testimonials further highlight the Powerwall's impact, with reports of users saving significant amounts on their electricity bills after installation, showcasing the tangible benefits of Tesla's innovative home energy solutions.
