Tesla, Inc. shares closed down 1.64% on Wednesday on trading volume below average. It was revealed yesterday that CEO Elon Musk's giant battery, which is being built in the outback of Australia, will be energized in the coming days and will initiate testing. South Australia's state government said recently that the Tesla power packs have fully been installed on a site north of Adelaide on a wind farm. This is the largest lithium-ion battery in the world that is being built by the electric vehicle giant's CEO. In other news, an analyst from Bloomberg has revealed that Tesla is spending around $8,000 every minute as it produces the Model 3 and adds the newly unveiled semi-truck and roadster to its production. Bloomberg reported that at this current spending rate, the company could exhaust its cash by next August. Tesla had said in early November that it has enough cash to produce 5,000 Model 3s by the end of March in 2018 and will then "generate significant cash flows from operating activities."
