        @Tesla South Australian future investments (early 2000's) of high voltage power lines (HVPL) & transmission towers,would've result further electricity infrastructure upgrades of new sub-stations, anti-surge protection to prevent grid tripping & upgrade local adjacent power lines.

        @Tesla South Australia future electricity: 1. Eventually former ETSA base load power generation facilities decommission & previous government own facilities no longer exist. 2. South Australia becomes fully reliant on private sector power generation facilities & associated costs.

        South Australian - Victorian ~275 kV HVPL Heywood inter-connector designed to have regular maintenance cycles and relied on excessive Victorian base load coal fired power generation capacity with reserve power and supplement South Australia's base load power generation.

        It's still just a battery that can charge up less than 100 Tesla trucks or Ebuses as these vehicles use battery packs over 1MWh. SA is building for the past and not the future.
