    I don’t think you understand how big these data centers are. They are the size of entire cities. A Tesla crash would have the effect of a single car crash in Manhattan.

      If the battery cooks off inside the data center, it will do some damage. The amount of water that will be required to put it out will do even more damage.

        Substations are full of oil-cooled power transformers.

        Oil-cooled power transformers are large, obvious targets that can be permanently disabled by a single hit from a decently powerful rifle, even at great distance (all you have to do is punch a hole in it and let the oil leak out so it overheats), and they’re expensive and time-consuming to replace.

        Just saying…

      I hear there’s thousands of Cybertrucks just sitting around. Seems like a good use for them.

      Besides, you just have to hit the important bits. Power, Network, Cooling.
