The current landscape of energy consumption is shifting, with new customers emerging, particularly from the data center realm. Unlike traditional utility companies, which are notoriously slow-moving and heavily regulated, companies operating their own data centers can act more rapidly to secure power supplies—an advantage that Tesla is keen on leveraging.
In a remarkable demonstration of market dynamics, companies like XAI have recently acquired 168 Tesla mega packs worth $150 million for their new supercomputer installations—Colossus 2. These investments symbolize the growing importance of mega packs and transformers in managing energy demands in high-performance computing environments.
