Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule sakwazisa ngendlela a Owasinda kuSiphepho u-Irma wabhala ukuthi “Ngithumele i-Tesla” ngemfucumfucu yendlu yabo. Hhayi-ke, noma ngenxa yalo mlayezo noma ngenxa yomfutho we-altruistic ovela kumkhiqizo waseMelika, kubonakala sengathi lokhu kuzoba ngokoqobo, nakuba kungenjalo ngesimo semoto. UTesla uthumela amakhulukhulu amabhethri eziqhingini zaseCaribbean, kuhlanganise neziQhingi zaseVirgin, lapho owasinda wayevela khona, nePuerto Rico, lapho iningi lababaleki lithuthele khona.
Lawa mabhethri noma i-Powerpack ifika ngesikhathi esihle ukuze ukusiza ukulungisa ingqalasizinda eshayiwe yendawo. Igridi kagesi yasePuerto Rico yonakaliswe iziphepho futhi isesesimweni esifanayo. Iziphathimandla zendawo zimi kwelokuthi ukuphazamiseka kwenkonzo kungase kuthathe izinyanga ezimbalwa kwezinye izifunda.
Amabhethri e-Tesla endaweni ehlaselwe yiziphepho
Nakuba amaphaneli elanga nama-Powerpacks nawo angathinteka yizimo zezulu ezidlulele njengesiphepho, laba bakwaTesla basabalalisa izinhlelo zokuphehla ugesi nezokugcina. ziphephile futhi zizinzile kunegridi yamandla ephakathi nendawo. Ukwengeza, amabhethri e-Tesla azovumela ukusetshenziswa kahle kwamandla elanga ngisho nangemva kokuba igridi isibuyiselwe.
Naphezu kosizo, iPuerto Rico nazo zonke ezinye iziqhingi zinomgwaqo omude nomba eqolo okusalindelwe ukuba ululame. Ama-NGO amaningana asungule izimali zosizo, njenge-United for Puerto Rico kanye ne-UNICEF. Umqondisi kanye nomsunguli weTesla, Eloni Musk, akagcinanga ngokuthumela ama-Powerpacks akhe, kodwa futhi inikele ngamaRandi angu-250,000 ukuze kusizwe abantu ephaketheni lakho.
Asethembe ukuthi owasinda owabhala "Ngithumele i-Tesla" e-US Virgin Islands uzothola usizo oludingeka kakhulu, ngisho noma lungekho uhlobo lwemoto.
