That is all super and such but where the FUCK are you getting the power from and how much is it going to cost? No, I am not kidding. With the AI datacenters and commie states like Colorado and California trying to force you to be electric only where are you getting that fucking energy? Huh?

From the post:

>Tesla has released a new video showing a Tesla Semi truck charging at a massive 1.2 megawatts (MW), finally giving us a clear look at the charging speeds that will enable long-haul electric trucking. For years, we have been waiting to see the “Megacharger” in action. While Tesla has delivered Semi trucks to partners like PepsiCo, who have been using them for real-world routes, detailed data on the charging performance has been somewhat scarce. We knew the target: Tesla claimed the Semi would be able to charge 70% of its range in 30 minutes. For a truck with a 500-mile range and an estimated battery pack of around 800-900 kWh, that requires an incredibly high power output, well beyond the 250 kW or even 350 kW we see on passenger EVs in North America.

Fuck that. I'm not a smart person but I know that kind of power through a cable is begging for runaway thermals on a medium that already is known to catch fire.
