The diesels I've seen at places (not Harris Ranch) were only to cover surges and outages. They burn fuel for maybe 0..001% of the time to enable folks to drive electric 100% of the time.However, anyone who actually visited this location (as I have multiple times over the years and most recently in September) would know there are no diesel generators on site at all and certainly no Tesla flatbeds - there is no diesel power on any of the hundred or so SC at location.
The temporary trailer superchargers occasionally deployed to bottleneck locations on holidays do not have generators aboard. They have Tesla PowerPack/megapack batteries that charge from the grid.since I've seen Tesla Supercharger generator trucks that are a full-size flatbed Semi trailer. Clearly not 40 MW but certainly enough to power several Superchargers.
Harris Ranch just put out a statement refuting the reports and invites skeptics to come for an inspection:

You should have taken a picture of the diesel trailer, as you're apparently the only one that's seen it! No such documentation exists anywhere on the internet.I've seen generator trucks. I've also seen megapack trucks.
Tesla uses different solutions for different problems.
It does now.No such documentation exists anywhere on the internet.
It does now.
Believe it or not, there are a few things that haven't been on the internet.
A lot of those stories, such as that the original one about the source of energy to Superchargers at Harris Ranch ARE on the internet.I mean, I’m just glad we had Earl on the job the one day we let the entire media machine that writes stories every time Elon farts take the day off.

The post #2 above shows a portable diesel generator on 2 wheels that can be towed away. It's connected by a big cable on the ground to a portable Supercharger cabinet that powers 2 stalls.You should have taken a picture of the diesel trailer, as you're apparently the only one that's seen it!

I’m not disputing that generators on trailers exist or that semi-portable supercharger cabinets and pedestals exist, or even that they’ve been used together before. It’s even been well documented that Tesla HAS powered existing supercharger sites by generator before (ironically enough, Harris Ranch back in the early days when the entire site was having grid problems).The post #2 above shows a portable diesel generator on 2 wheels that can be towed away.
