Sure, but why the fake-sounding robot voice? This does not compute.........

First time I clicked I got Neil deG Tyson offering to explain Dunning Kruger!
Second time I got the intended video. What doesn't compute is a 25 kWh robot with a 225 kWH CT. That means 9 of these robots to charge it fully (not that one ever would). I guess spent robots could be refilling at main charging dock while others are servicing the truck.

You are going to charge at home for the most part. This is only for the top up. Say I drive 250 miles one way I would like to get a top up, not to 100% but a 15% top up would ensure I get home and saves me having to stop at a supercharger.
This is not a replacement for super chargers on road trips just a destination type charger. When you look at how HONDA is looking at EV’s they have city cars that will rarely put on more than 50 miles a day. This would have a bigger requirement for these robots.

Guess you missed the point. These are clearly intended to be used to charge smaller vehicles - not ones with 200+ kWh batteries. And clearly they will be equipped with CCS connectors which means they will be unusable for the Cybertruck unless Tesla decides to put the dual receptacles on the vehicle as they do for Europe.

Anyway, this is a fail. They need to give these units more of a R2-D2 look, or maybe a Dalek finish depending on taste..............
