According to tweets from the President of the United States,
. . . "The electric power grid in Puerto Rico is totally shot."

According to the New York Times, it may take
. . . 4-6 months to re-string all the lines and reconstruct the grid.

As soon as the storm passed,
. . . Tesla quietly began sending hundreds of Powerwall battery systems,
. . . that can be paired with solar panels to the devastated island,
. . . in an effort to restore electric power there.

And the shipments of Powerwall battery systems are continuing,
. . . a Tesla spokesman confirmed.
Tesla employees are currently in Puerto Rico,
. . . working on installations of the battery systems, and
. . . installing or repairing solar there.
The employees are coordinating efforts with local organizations.

Musk, personally donated
. . . $250,000 to the relief efforts.
