Copper theft has always followed expensive infrastructure. AI data centers are just the newest high-value targets.
True. You can see this with charging stations for EVs as well. Not uncommon that some pos mfs cut the charging cables because they want the copper in it.
Oh no, I really hope they don't specifically target the tesla-only chargers...
