I hope its affixed properly, otherwise it will be worlds largest Lion battery in space above Australia.
BCOH
PROOF! The world is round!!!
robotwhatsit
We lost the bet so now we gotta pay for it :/

That picture makes me irrationally angry.

Why am I upside down?

Oh, you!

Obligatory "Literally no one calls him that" comment
smarthedragon
I bet that thing stores like at least 30 lions.

FullCrimsonic
Na see you cunts think this upsidedown shit is funniest fucking thing. Flipping my ohone is just an inconvenience
coreyjayb
A pride of batteries
phacemelter
Lion battery is what Scar did to Mufasa.
Steffn
Is it the largest? How many MWh does it hold?

Theyll never let u on a plane with that.

It's funny because the picture is upside down. Ha. Ha. Ha.

+1 for clever presentation, not content (I absolutely can't stand the internet rim job for Elon Musk)

Though a lion battery would be a lot cooler.
ADeerDanceInvitationToPeace
I bet you can't PROVE that it's not actually a lion... I DARE YOU.
Crawmak
You mean to tell me those big white boxes don't each contain a lion?
shmekie
They do. Each lion holds onto the electricity with their large paws until it's needed for the grid.

AliBarber
Oh no they totally do
GoodOldFashionedValues
Lion (s) running in giant hampster wheels
morningknight
has anyone ever thought that Aus is right way up and the rest of the world is upside down that would explain the batshit crazy politicians
Apollad
Nah, every 2 days we're basically we're discovering that a politician was in fact elected illegally 1/2
morningknight
shh its NZ fault like me according to rules they making i'm dual, NZ and AUS
Apollad
2/2 (Not their fault in most cases, retroactive dual citizenships through family who weren't aware they were dual citizens)
valen00
TBF though, *most* of them are assholes. feels bad about scott ludlam though I might have disagreed with him sometimes but he was a good guy
notacobra
Sad side of this story: murdoch owned newspapers are trying to spin this as a waste of money. Liberal party distancing themselves 1/?
notacobra
So that if another blackout happens they can Blame tesla for it, rather than dodgy coal plants and power grid. Public is being told that 2/?
notacobra
Project is nothing but taxpayer money down thr drain, Australia is very technophobic right now and growing worse due to media monopoly. 3/3
valen00
Only issue I have with it is people seeming to think it's holding a significant amount of power like it's a powerwall for the state. It/
valen00
holds about 4 minutes worth of power for South Australia. It's a grid stabiliser not an energy storage device (from the grid POV)
notacobra
It allows a ramp up of power production during peak hours to a degree without needing further infrastructure. It'll help, but its no miracle
tgozzygozz
I'm from Adelaide and will soon be benefiting from it :)
catsiye
I'm with the others.. believe it when I see it in our bills
tgozzygozz
Our bills won't be cheaper, but hopefully we won't have blackouts over summer on peak days as frequent as before.
Ionlypostonthe29th
Yeah Adelaide represent!

“Benefitting”
ok09
Omg other people from Adelaide commenting on Imgur #wtf
SeriousBucket
Battery is cool and all, but like, I CAN’T BELIEVE THERES AT LEAST 5 OTHER PEOPLE FROM ADELAIDE ON IMGUR
GoliathSkittles
Here's another one.
zzxyaangie
Adelaidians unite!
biscuit159
theres dozens of us! well maybe not dozens, a singular dozen maybe.
maugriman
No you won’t. $10 says the state government sells the power as an export to another state
AmArschdieRaeuber
But it's a batterie, it doesn't even produce electricity. Also they would profit from exporting then.
LoudBirb
Sssshhhh... Just take the bet. It's a free $10.
maugriman
You cant use logic when validating government decisions.
waffleincubator
That's a totally irrational thing of you to say. Voltaire would be so disappointed.
SL4pthePANCAKES
What is there to do in Adelaide?
killerjerick
Meth, Coke, all the good stuff ;)
khora
Drink wine.
swefur
Visit the mighty black stump?
CuntStain
Meth.
Daeyelle
Also, me.
clubpingu
You can start a drive to Melbourne
GSDPupper
There's apparently a big black building that used to be the tallest building. Hello Internet podcast told me that.
Daeyelle
Huddle together as the entire state loses power because we have it bottlenecked into like one line and it get wrecked by some windy bois
ThunderChief00
Isn't that ok because you only have 1 street anyway?
biscuit159
We've got a giant rocking horse, and a pair of giant metallic balls.
SL4pthePANCAKES
I walked past something like that, but it was a friday night and there was no one on the street, figured zombie apocalypse had started

Popkernel

tgozzygozz
Mount Gambier = Eagle River? ???? I love that SA is represented on imgur so strongly https://youtu.be/9CJ_HsX7PkQ
Popkernel
Gave me a good chuckle. It's odd but nice even seeing people from SA let alone local
