I think a lot of people are being misled by someone with ulterior motives. There are other charging stalls at that Tesla station. It has demand higher than expected and as a result they needed to put a temporary generator to reduce wait times. They might be using this as a test opportunity for seeing how feasible a generator is for charging a Tesla. The "government funded" part is referring to state legislation, not federal. The swap system is not open to all Tesla customers, it's invitation only to a few because they are still working out the details. Hopefully California put in it's grant program requirements that it will only give rebates for cars that are eligible, if not, then can you blame Tesla for taking the grant money? Is there even any proof that they are taking grant money or is everyone pulling the "hundreds of millions of dollars in rebates" out of thin-air? I saw a YouTube video of someone making a big deal that Tesla didn't do any battery swaps on the Saturday before Memorial Day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umUjmg4oaMc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umUjmg4oaMc Last, newer diesel generators and ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel make this method of power very attractive. It might even be better than coal-powered plants that transfer over the grid due to losses and conversions.
