By having a means of producing batteries you'll be able to rely on renewables won't you? I thought that was the whole idea?

Unless you have very limited supply of lithium, you will not be energy-independent.

The real reason for it though is that, unlike what HN thinks, Tesla is also not the only company in the world capable of building a battery.

That, and batteries are a terrible solution to long and medium-term energy storage.

Yes, we could choose to solve a lot of these problems by pushing water higher.
