To ship things to/from these fabs by sea you have to add the cost of shipping by truck between Phoenix and (presumably) LA. Not sure how big of a difference that makes.

The interest you'd pay just losing a couple days in transit time would exceed the cost of purchasing a dedicated private jet and the crew to fly it.

- kstrauser 2y agoA semi truck carries +- 15 tons of cargo and gets an average of about 6 MPG, so about 90 MPG/ton.
- ponty_rick 2y agoTrains are pretty efficient as well.
