FYI this project wasn't built with Panasonic / Tesla / Gigafactory batteries. They were purchased from Samsung:

Wow, that's even more impressive in some ways. That was a huge gamble to rely on another company (though perhaps they already have a good relationship I'm not aware of) and it's great that the system was "easy" enough to build with different parts (though, again, perhaps they've always kept multiple vendors in mind)
