Malcolm Turnbull, Tesla's Elon Musk 'pick each other's brains' over SA storage offer

PM Malcolm Turnbull spoke to the
 Tesla CEO for an hour on Sunday. 

Tesla's Elon Musk may have put large scale battery storage on the national agenda with his offer last week to solve South Australia's power crisis for free if he did not deliver a large system with 100 days of signing a contract, but both the Prime Minister and South Australia's Premier are looking for more detail before taking him up on the offer.

Mr Turnbull and Mr Musk spoke for an hour early Sunday afternoon, with the Prime Minister yet to form a view on the merits of power storage systems in solving South Australia's power supply woes.
