Most of the company's investors are focused on Tesla's automotive business, and for the most part, evaluate it only from this position. However, Tesla's energy business is growing at a tremendous pace and could take a larger share of the manufacturer's operations than its car business in the future. Recently, some investors have begun to pay more attention to Tesla's energy business, so observing the production of Megapacks provides valuable information.

Tesla’s Megafactory in Lathrop today is the main driving force in the development of the company's energy division. The factory produces Megapacks--huge batteries for energy storage. They are the main component of battery energy storage systems (BESS), which help not only to stabilize the grid but also to store energy from renewable energy sources. Once it runs at full capacity, it will produce 10,000 Megapacks per year. This will make a very significant contribution to the development of Tesla Energy, and will bring great benefits to projects around the world.
