There are no LiFePO4 batteries that can achieve close to 10,000 cycles or 25 year life span, so how can Tesla achieve that?

NEWS: Neoen Australia says it has begun construction of a new $220 million big battery project, which will also be the first project in the world to deploy Tesla's new Megablock product, its next generation grid-scale battery tech. Megablock combines four Megapack 3 units into a single deployable block offering 20 MWh units, each with an integrated transformer and switchgear. Tesla says this will translate into faster installations and lower costs for grid-level storage, up to 40% cheaper. Megapack 3 production will begin at Tesla's upcoming Megafactory in Houston, Texas in 2026 with up to 50 GWh per year of manufacturing capacity. Megablock: • 23% faster to install with up to 40% lower construction costs • Plug and play platform (hardware, software and services) delivered as one all from Tesla. It's a pre-engineered medium-voltage block that integrates next-gen Megapack 3 • Eliminates above ground cabling between the transformer and the megapacks using new flexible busbar assembly • 91% MV round trip efficiency • 20 MWh of usable AC energy • Operates in temps of -40°C (-40°F) to 60°C (140°F) • 248 MWh per acre • 25-year life & >10,000 cycles Megapack 3: • 5 MWh of usable AC energy • Weight: 86,000 lbs • 28 foot long enclosure that can be shipped globally • Optimized for up to 8-hour applications • New drastically simplified thermal bay. Uses Model Y heat pump, but on steroids. 78% fewer connections, which minimizes failure points • Larger battery module and larger battery cell • 2.8 liter battery cell, co-engineered with Tesla's cell team • LFP battery • Operates in -40°C to 60° • Went from 24 cable connections in Megapack version 2XL, down to 3 simple busbar connections • 75% of the mass of Megapack 3 is battery cells. • A single module in it weighs as much as a Cybertruck • Tesla has enabled easier front access service, so there are no roof penetrations • Drastically simplified bussing system • Will partly use battery cells from Tesla's new 7 GWh LFP battery facility in Nevada. Additional cells sourced elsewhere.

NEWS: BYD has launched its next-generation battery energy storage system. It has a unit capacity of 14.5 MWh, the highest globally to date. The energy storage system achieves an ultra-large capacity of 10 MWh within a space equivalent to a 20-foot container, BYD said. For a 1 GWh storage plant, it will cut the number of required units by more than half, reduce land use by one-third, and trim cell count by 76%, according to the manufacturer. It uses BYD’s self-developed 2,710 Ah Blade Battery cell, which the company claims is the largest energy storage cell in the world. "This next-generation cell delivers three times the capacity of conventional storage batteries, boasts a cycle life of over 10,000 cycles, and reduces the total lifecycle cost per kilowatt-hour to below $0.014 – a milestone that could reshape the economics of large-scale storage." BYD says it can cut project-level levelized costs (LCOS) by 21.7%. For a typical 1 GWh installation, total costs related to equipment procurement, transportation, and installation are expected to drop by around 30%. In addition, BYD has launched its new GC Flux grid-forming inverter solution, which covers the 2.5–10 MW capacity range. According to BYD, the inverter boasts a performance level approximately 38% higher than common industry standards and a maximum power density of 1,474 kW/㎡, which is around 130% above typical values in today’s market. The system provides an overload capacity of up to 3x for 10 seconds and reaches a peak efficiency of 99.35%.

Solar looks cheap on paper, but only because of two sneaky accounting tricks. First, the backup system is completely ignored: such as storage, balancing, and the dispatchable power plants waiting behind it. Second, fossil fuel prices are inflated via carbon taxes. In Germany, for example, domestic lignite (a low-grade brown coal) costs just 40 euros per MWh. But after carbon taxes, the cost triples to 120 MWh. Energy economist Lars Schernikau puts German solar at a whopping 10 times the full system cost of domestic lignite - once both the backup and carbon taxes are considered. Renewables are cheap on paper, but in reality are the most expensive source of power.

Trump's EPA just repealed the Endangerment Finding — the legal foundation for ALL federal climate regulation since 2009. Yesterday he ordered the Pentagon to buy coal. Coal costs up to $169/MWh. Wind costs $27. 99% of coal plants cost more to run than replacing them with new solar. Coal employs 44,000 people. Clean energy employs 3.5 million. Coal pollution killed 460,000 Americans in 20 years. The Peabody Energy CEO stood next to Trump as he signed it. It's not energy policy. It's a taxpayer-funded bailout of a dying industry. #ClimateChange #ClimateCriminal #EPAEndangermentFinding #FollowTheMoney #CoalBailout #ClimateRegulation #TrumpEPA #EPA

The Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Dam has entered the crucial Southwest Monsoon season of 2026 with one of its poorest water positions in recent years, raising concerns over the sluggish progress of rainfall in the Cauvery catchment areas of Kodagu. According to official data from Cauvery Neeravari Nigama Limited (CNNL) on June 28, 2026, the reservoir held 11.233 tmcft (thousand million cubic feet) of water at a level of 81 feet against its full reservoir level of 124.80 feet. The inflow stood at just 530 cusecs. Of the total storage, the live storage is only 2.809 tmcft, while 8.424 tmcft accounts for dead storage and silt. A comparison with data recorded on the same date over the past two decades shows that the present storage is among the lowest for the end of June and is dramatically lower than last year, when the reservoir had almost reached its full capacity. On June 28, 2025, the reservoir stood at 123.25 feet with 47.311 tmcft of water and was receiving a massive inflow of 73,811 cusecs following heavy monsoon rains in Kodagu. Notably, the cumulative inflow in the last 20 years is the lowest in 2026 (from June 1 to June 28) with 1.37 tmcft. At the same time, the cumulative inflow in the last 20 years was the highest in 2025, with 38.4 tmcft. The inflow trend also presents a worrying picture. At 530 cusecs, the present inflow is the lowest recorded among the 20 years listed, even lower than 547 cusecs in 2009 and 655 cusecs in 2019. By comparison, the reservoir received 13,437 cusecs in 2024, 36,510 cusecs in 2015, 23,867 cusecs in 2013, 11,483 cusecs in 2011 and a staggering 73,811 cusecs last year. Apart from weak monsoon rainfall and poor inflows, another major concern for the KRS Dam is the steady increase in silt accumulation, which has significantly reduced the reservoir's effective storage capacity. The estimated silt deposit and dead storage level at the reservoir remained unchanged at 4.401 tmcft between 2016 and 2023. However, it rose sharply to 8.179 tmcft (silt and dead storage level) in 2024, increased further to 8.379 tmcft in 2025 and has now reached 8.424 tmcft (silt and dead storage level) in 2026.

NEWS: SpaceX CFO Bret Johnsen walks investors through the entire business in the company's new IPO roadshow video. Johnsen, the only CFO SpaceX has ever had, lays out the numbers behind the listing. SpaceX raised just $9 billion to build its space and connectivity business. In 2025 alone it generated roughly $19 billion in revenue, up over 30%, with almost $7 billion in positive adjusted EBITDA. Starlink ended Q1 with 10.3 million users, up over 100% year over year. Its 9,600+ satellites represent 75% of all active maneuverable satellites in orbit. V3 satellites fly in the second half of this year. Each delivers roughly 1 terabit per second, a 20x jump in capacity per launch. On AI, Johnsen said orbital data centers are coming within the next couple of years and that SpaceX recently signed a deal to host Anthropic's models on its data centers. Long term, SpaceX is targeting roughly 70% gross margins and 45% net income margins against a $28 trillion addressable market.
