Elon Musk has been campaigning for more electric power generation for years.

I think many Tesla owners are convinced that the power needed to charge their cars comes exclusively from solar or wind - that embracing the Tesla ecosystem somehow amounts to a total rejection of so-called "fossil fuels".

It's an important part of the mythology.

Maybe it would be better to bypass the middle man and put say a diesel engine directly in a car and truck.
Revolutionary!
