This is day 3 so far in Texas and there is currently 2.8 million without power. ERCOT officials say they have no idea when Texas’ power outages will end. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/weather/2021/02/16/ercot-says-they-have-no-idea-when-texas-power-outages-will-end/ When California had their rolling blackouts Musk brought in mega chargers to power the supercharger stations. Seeing that he now lives in Austin, he’s got got several being delivered throughout areas affected in texas. The nice thing about Tesla’s is that drivers will get real-time info on the EV stations that are open and within range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the NG electric plants shut down because the generators won’t function without damage in cold weather. Had the wind turbines been outfitted with heaters, they’d be opperational. What about you ignoring the fact this whole global warming b.s. is exactly that,,,,,,,,,,, b.s. and despite your love with Biden and the Democrats, no matter how much money you throw it, it will do absolutely nothing to help control it.

What happens when these so called super chargers run out of power, does he just bring in more and more from other states that aren't under a power outage?

There’s two smaller counties in Texas without power at the moment. The other counties are 0-60% without power. The blackouts are rolling so people are getting power in blocks of time.

Plenty of places are there? And I'm the misinformed one? "As of Tuesday afternoon, more than four million people in Texas — considered the energy capital of the U.S. — still had no power as freezing temperatures ranging from -2 C to -22 C created a surge in demand for electricity to warm homes unaccustomed to such extreme lows, buckling the state's power grid" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Joe will fix that right up with more wind turbines and solar panels because they've proven themselves so efficient and reliable.
