Just realised why looks deceive: It references so much from electric transport culture: The front borrows from the Tesla Semi Truck, the rear wheel covers from the early General Motors EV-1, the solar panels and the square sheet construction in the back from the solar car races. pic.twitter.com/SZOAVYhZA0

On the other hand, the giant company confirmed that its additional Tesla Semichargers will be installed adjacent to the existing chargers. However, FritoLay Incorporated hasn't released any statement regarding the actual numbers of the upcoming megachargers.
Aside from this, the upcoming installation project will also include a Megapack battery storage unit. As of the moment, there's no confirmation yet regarding the physical design of the new Tesla Semichargers.
Although limited information was confirmed, some rumors and speculations claimed that each of the new Semichargers will be able to reach up to 1 MW in power per vehicle.
The new megachargers of FritoLay will be helpful in promoting the use of Tesla Semi truck and other electric car deliveries. Once they are installed, the company will use more Semis, which could help reduce the current rising air pollution.
