Why does the Cybertruck not qualify for the $7,500?

I am using used Gen1 wall connectors. I keep the Gen2 that came with my cars in the car. Used Gen1's should be cheaper. Ebay looks like about $200.

I used to sell 12V 75A server power supplies to operate RC airplane chargers. They can be run in parallel and on 240V can output 12V 100A. I put three in parallel as a test and was able to drag my wife's Y while in park and draw only 135A. My winch can draw 310A at 12V supposedly so the three in...

Is there a service manual pdf?

I know about the A-10 I was asking about a P-51 bomber.

Any actual pictures of the 'P-51 Bomber' ? I've heard of the P-51 Mustang. The P-40 Warhawk was decorated with the shark's mouth for the American Volunteer Group flying in China before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Also known as the Flying Tigers.

I installed the interlock myself. I'm planning to use the CT as backup if necessary. It is the best choice for me. My loads are small and I'm sure the CT can handle them all but I can shed as necessary..

I like the wheels...

My Cybertruck reservation is far from getting filled but I have a 2011 F150 that I made a winch installation and I have used it a lot for pulling stumps. I haven't gotten the truck stuck yet. Finding no DC systems on the Cybertruck that can handle a winch and no winches that operate on...

Question on using solar panels to charge. My Model 3 and Y can charge at a minimum of 5A. On 240V that's about 1.25kW. Is it also 5A on 120V? That would mean you have to have a minimum of 600W to charge at all. That would add about a mile of range per hour of charge time.

Sounds interesting. It looks like it needs to 'soft start' to keep the current minding bits in the CT happy. As far as a compressor goes, I'd look at tapping the onboard air in the truck or just carry a portable battery powered compressor.

Most DC-DC have a pretty large capacitor across the input for filtering. That looks like a dead short initially and is probably what is tripping the protective circuit. As far as reset, that is software. My 2011 F150 has fuses but also FETs in the Body Control Module. Each time the circuit is...

Trickle charger probably not But 20A chargers are available. Yes the start amps is a lot. I may have to use an alternate way to start it. Like a soft start on an AC motor. What we need is a good 120 or 240V winch.

I am building a 12V 300A supply using 3 server power supplies in parallel and planning to power them from the CT's 240V in the bed. My 12,000 lb winch says it can draw just a little over 300A so this should work for all but the worst case. Only concerns are for the 240V if it is raining.

Due to it's size and weight, the EPA does not require rating the Cybertruck.

Sadly the charger is in the car. So you cannot blame a third party charger.

FYI the OP trip: Some of that may have been at 80MPH posted speed limit. In Tx that means 85 or better. Still I think the CT range is adequate for non-long haul trailer pulling. Charging speed will probably increase as 800V charging rolls out.

AS far as ICE cars supplying enough current for a winch, my F150 has electric power steering so it has a 250A alternator. Because power steering takes a lot of power. I'm looking for a 120 or 240V winch suitable for a pickup. ~10,000lb would be great and could plug into one of the rear outlets.

I paid $72K for my Model 3 performance in 2018. I'm glad I didn't wait. I'm now 67 years old. Yes the new Model 3's are better but I've had 4 years to enjoy mine. If I get a founders offer, I'm jumping on it. If you want to wait, that video above implies that they will eventually have a 500...

Yall need to watch this video. This truck is not comparable to Ford or Chevy, or Rivian.
