Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule Eloni Musk, usozigidi osungule iPaypal, iTesla neSpace X, uthathe isinqumo sokuthenga iSolarCity ngenhloso yokukhuthaza nokwenza ngcono amandla kagesi elanga. Ngale nhloso, ihlose ukuhlanganisa lezi zinkampani ezimbili ezinkulu: iTesla neSolarCity. Inkampani ekhiqiza izimoto isungule ukutholwa ngu Ama-dollar ayi-2.600.
Kulesi sivumelwano, umninimasheya omkhulu kunabo bonke ngu-Elon Musk, yize umninimasheya ngamunye weSolarCity ezothola Izabelo ze-0,11 Tesla zokuphepha ngakunye. Ukuhlanganiswa kwalezi zinkampani ezinkulu ezimbili kulindeleke ukuthi kwenzeke ngasekupheleni konyaka, kanti u-Elon uthi ukuba nalezi zinkampani ezimbili ezisebenza ngaphansi kophahla olulodwa kuzokonga imali engaphezu kwezigidi ezingama- $ 150.
Isifiso sika-Elon Musk sihle. Kuhlose ukuthi uphahla ngalunye lwendlu ngayinye lunephaneli yelanga yokukhiqiza ugesi nokuthi leli phaneli lixhunyaniswe nebhethri egalaji ukuze likwazi ukufaka kabusha imoto kagesi. Ubuye aqinisekise ukuthi lokhu kuhlangana ngeke kuphazamise uTesla emgomweni wakhe omkhulu: Ukuba yinkampani enkulu yokukhiqiza izimoto enikwe amandla avuselelekayo.
Phakathi kwamaphrojekthi ka-Elon Musk noTesla ukukhiqiza iloli nebhasi elisebenza ngogesi. Ngenxa yokuhlangana okuzayo kwalezi zinkampani zombili, kuzokwenzeka ukuthi kwenziwe imikhiqizo emisha eminingana yezindawo zokuhlala nezentengiselwano ngezinga lomkhakha futhi ihlanganiswe ngokuphelele. Le mikhiqizo izokwazi ukugxila ekwenzeni ngcono indlela amandla akhiqizwa futhi agcinwe ngayo njengoba zombili lezi zinkampani zibandakanyeka ekukhiqizeni amandla elanga avuselelekayo (i-SolarCity) kanye nokugcina (iTesla).
Ekugcineni, uMusk wachaza ukuthi ufuna ukwenza uphahla lwelanga ezimotweni ukuze akwazi ukukhuthaza nokuqamba amandla mahhala nohlaza kuwo wonke umuntu.
“Angeke sikwenze lokhu uma iTesla neSolarCity kuyizinkampani ezihlukene, yingakho sidinga ukuhlanganisa futhi siphule imigoqo ekhona yokuba izinkampani ezimbili ezihlukene. Manje njengoba iTesla isilungele ukukala iPowerwall neSolarCity isilungele ukunikeza amandla elanga ahlukaniswe ngokusobala, isikhathi sesifikile sokuwahlanganisa »
I-Powerwall Yibhethri elisetshenziselwa ukukhiqiza amandla kagesi emakhaya.
