While Billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX Starship Mk1 blows its top off on the launchpad during testing early yesterday it seems that out here on the wide open prairies of Central Canada improvements in infrastructure to support the sale and expansion of the Tesla line up of electric vehicles in Manitoba. While workers in the oil and gas industry bitch and moan about not being able to find work in an industry that by all rights should have been phased out 25 years ago it seems that steps are actually being made to support the adoption of electric powered vehicles. This is kind of exciting in a sense truly. As the burning of petroleum for fuel is 100 year old technology.
On the more fun side of things Elon's new truck was unveiled in the past few days and the thing looks like... well...

Not sure how long it will take for these charging station to be locally. My guess is before the end of winter here in Canada. Hopefully we see an influx of electric cars here in the near future, at least the charging stations are here so folks can actually use their Tesla vehicles here locally without having to worry about running out of juice.
