That would make a whole lot of sense. They're probably, I think they have a couple billion dollars worth of funds, Puerto Rico does, to rebuild these things, and so hopefully that's going to Tesla to help them build kind of like microgrids, and just a more resilient system. Yeah, but then Puerto Rico would need basically to, I think it was just for one day, one full day, a five gigawatt hour system, or 4,878 megawatts. And I got that data from one of the government websites that showed how much energy they consume and all those kind of things. And I think it was the energy administration in the US. So, super interesting stuff.
Now if you can imagine, if they actually do this, or when they actually do this, because we know this is the trajectory, this is gonna be a huge boon for Tesla. It's gonna be something that is gonna be huge financially, and it's gonna help us really accelerate that transition. So, really, really, great stuff. Okay, we need to move on, the next one was another question I got a lot and I thought this was fascinating as well https://www.casinoslots.co.nz/free-spins-bonus. This was whether or not the super charger network would be open to other manufacturers. And so, here is Elon kind of clarifying that for everybody. - [Moderator] Thank you our next-- - [Elon Musk] Well keep going, I'll answer quick questions while they're interesting. - [Galileo] Yeah, I have a couple more. For the super chargers, I know you guys are not trying to prop it off of Tesla owners with that infrastructure but, will you ever open that up to other automakers to try and generate revenue from that system? - [Elon Musk] We always said that this is not intended to be we are happy to support other auto makers and let them use our super charger stations. They would just need to pay, you know show the costs proportionally to their vehicle usage. And they would need to be able to accept our charge rate, or at least our connectors, have adaptors for our connector. So, it's something we're very open to. But so far, none of the car makers have wanted to do this. But it's not because of opposition from us. This is not a walled garden, trying to make a moat bullshit. - [Galileo] Okay maybe you could clarify what's the strategy, like it seems like that would be a very strong network you guys have been building globally for years, so why open it up and why is that not a moat? - [Elon] Sorry, could you repeat the question? - [Galileo] I'm just wondering why that isn't a moat, because, you know, as a long term investor, I feel like the charging infrastructure you guys have built would take years and millions of dollars for another brand to replicate, so I'm just curious about the strategic thinking behind opening that up versus keeping it closed. - [Elon] First of all, I think moats are like nice in a sort of quaint, residual way. But like, if your only defense against invading armies is a moat, you will not last long. What matters is the pace of innovation. That is the final determinate of competitiveness. And for any given company, if the rate of innovation, let's say they come out with something new every six years. We're maybe every two to three years. So if our innovation is, let's say twice that of any given competitor, then it is simply, and this is true generally, of companies, in any industry, whichever company has the highest rate of innovation, unless that company is actively killed by competitors in some way that is nefarious, or shoots itself in the foot, it will at some point exceed those competitors.
