For reference, a 1000kcmil wire is a 24mm section of copper wire, that alone over any length would be expensive as hell. If you want to go with aluminium wire, you have to bump your wire to 1750kcmil, or 34mm section. Just moving that beast is a workout, not to mention a nightmare to store, as it won't allow to be coiled is sharp bends.

Going stranded enough to feel even remotely like a "cord" or "cable" will bloat that diameter far, far beyond 24mm. I used to work with ~9mm diameter solid copper and even for that I treated it like EMT and used task-specific benders to shape it.
