    Also just for reference, this is what Tesla’s double redundant 48v etherloop cable looks like, instead of those chonky wiring harnesses

    Edit: Just to clarify here, I think I made an assumption about the double redundancy. The cable runs in a loop around the car, and if any cable gets cut, it can still reach the component via the other direction (A<->B<->C<->A). I think I just assumed the 2 wires in the image were redundant. It could be that different data is flowing over both strands and those are not for redundancy.
