Yes.
The point was made.
The charging station... powered by a diesel generator.
Check out the articles from the sites that Loral posted.
Diesel generators powered the station.
You REALLY suck at this.
WHY hasn't snopes even TOUCHED this story? They've had PLENTY of time.
Harris Ranch Sets Record Straight on Diesel-Powered Tesla
When?
Gotny idea what this is?

"Tesla has used diesel trailers for temporary charging to handle surges
(holidays) in several high-traffic sites such as Harris Ranch and Baker, CA
while waiting for expansion to finish."
"But as with many Tesla-related things, questions have been raised about how
Tesla has powered its projects near the Supercharger. Across the way from the
Harris Ranch Supercharger's main stations, behind a Shell station, sits a small
building where, according to a 2015 report, a diesel generator once helped
power Tesla's footprint here. When reached by email on Oct. 18, a Harris Ranch
spokesperson said the power source was only in use for a short time by Tesla,
which it says leases land from them." - sfgate.com
"I discovered that Tesla's battery swap station was not in fact being made
available to owners who regularly drove between California's two largest
cities," Niedermeyer wrote in a May 2022 exposé for Slate. "Instead, the
company was running diesel generators to power additional Superchargers (the
kind that take 30 to 60 minutes to recharge a battery) to handle the holiday
rush, their exhaust mingling with the unmistakable smell of bullshit."
That a small diesel generator may have temporarily operated on-site kicked off
a series of events that unraveled the myth of Elon Musk for Niedermeyer: "Once
you stop taking Musk at his word," he wrote, "his heroic popular image
evaporates, and a far darker reality begins to reveal itself."
It seems that tracking Musk's unsubstantiated claims has become a hobby for
some. There's even a handy website dedicated to things Musk has proclaimed that
haven't come true, along with the number of days that have passed since
specific claims have been made.
I'm pretty sure sfgate.com is liberal site, so WHY would they make this up?
