I remember JD and Elon laughing at the announcement that Porsche was going 900 volts and Elon's comment was that you would then have to worry about arcing happening. Not sure what other weirdness people are talking about when volts go over 600.
I remember talking with the original Amiga Computer developers who were having to deal with the switching speeds of CPUs, the software guys couldn't wrap their heads around the effects of increasing the frequency of the processor (it was at 1 MHz back then). The hardware guys could talk all day about reflections on the wire and the physics of higher electric frequencies. But it made no sense to the SW guys who just issue an instruction and time how long it takes to execute. Love pushing boundaries.
