The plan to build the 100MW (129MWh) lithium battery grew out of a Twitter bet between Tesla boss Elon Musk and Australian software entrepreneur Mike Cannon-Brookes.
Mr Musk said Tesla would build the wind-charged battery in 100 days or the state would not have to pay for it.
[...] Tesla has given itself a good chance of hitting the self-imposed deadline because construction of the battery began long before the clock started counting down.
The official countdown to the end of the 100-day deadline commenced on 30 September, after the project was given approval by Australian energy regulators.
Mr Musk said that if Tesla missed the deadline it stood to lose about $50m (£38m).
