No news updates, surprising to see a media blackout as if this had occured in a communist country. Dave's 1411 is highly ranked on the search engines. If I lived nearby or downwind I would be upset with the news (lack of) coverage.
I found this days older pic (paywalled Australian News) which showed the fire burning,
along with the crane brought in - Tesla's new hot swap technology. Doesn't matter if it's on fire, you can put in a new Megapack before anyone notices... Actually it likely means they pulled up and ripped out adjacent containers to stop the fire from spreading? If that's the case, then the site is a mess and no pictures of that please.

I would expect the site's planned November operation date to get pushed back, unless they add manpower. TBH I have worked on large scale (AC) power projects like this and it's cookie cutter work unless they make drastic safety changes. It's already too late to increase spacing between units, that would blow up the scope of work so I'm not sure how they'll spin not needing that.
One concern I had is the smoke crossing the HV transmission lines will induce arcing because the spacings are generously for air, not carbon soot etc. Smoke will start arcs between HV lines and typically the breakers will do reclose operations then give up. So it's entirely possible for this incident to have taken out transmission on that line until the smoke moved away.
