Yes, a 20' x 8.5' trailer with the roof covered in solar panels could produce as much as 340V. But it would be cool if Tesla were to allow for the battery pack to change from series to parallel so charging could be in the 26V range. I think Rivian has a patent on this though. They are suppose to...
I see many companies using different speeds for range estimates. Those of you who own Teslas, what is the speed that gives you the advertised range? Does the vehicle change the expected distance remaining based on your speed? For example, if you are doing 70MPH, and you slow to 55MPH, does...
I was on my phone when I saw your post. I see it now on the computer.
Looks like a fun ride. You have had it for 6 years? What is your real world range?
You are completely ignoring the fact that the vehicle is still moving forward while using no energy from the batteries while it is coasting. OR actually sending power to the batteries when regen braking, while again, still moving forward.
Skid loaders and Bobcats don't go fast enough to worry about wheel imbalances. You have never had mud, snow, or ice stick to one side of your wheel and throw it out of balances before?
Their cost would come out to at least 22¢ per mile before they even make a profit. Right now, the average diesel is 37¢ per mile. That means they need to be above 22¢ enough to make a profit, and below 37¢ to make it competitive with current diesel trucks. Of course, diesel truck manufacturers...
When I suggested he buy a used plane for less than 1/3rd the price, he balked at that and said he wanted new. He is very impulsive and doesn't listen. I think that is the problem. He says he surrounds himself with smart people, but the problem is that he isn't smart enough to listen to them...
I assume those airless tires are see through purely for demonstration purposes? A real one would have to have a sidewall, right? Otherwise you would have to clean out your tires in mud and snow constantly, or you would get severe imbalances.
I don't think the police having the ability to...
Well, the only reason I find it interesting is the heated and air conditioned cargo area because I transport a lot of animals for my nonprofit. I am not a huge fan of the looks. There is a certain awesomeness about it, but it also attracts a lot of attention of which I am not a fan. Although...
The real irony is that a battery with twice the energy density of Tesla's current batteries would make hydrogen completely obsolete. If you could have 800 miles of range with electric, and 800 miles of range with hydrogen, why would you chose hydrogen? You are going to pay 5 times the cost for...
What is ironic is that I am an Aspie, and I generally do not read people well at all. But I could read him like a book. He came across as a BS artist and terribly narcissistic. And he spent money like it was going out of style. I think if I started a company that hadn't actually produced...
We are going to make hydrogen cheaper by having all of our 700 vaporware hydrogen facilities standardized.
And we have a battery with double the energy density of what Tesla uses.
But you can't see the technology demonstrated.
Nor can any independent labs verify the claims.
And we won't...
Hello all, Current Rivian place holder, but also order a CyberTruck. I like the Rivian more for a lot of reasons, but the thing that convinced me to order a CyberTruck is the ability to heat and cool the bed area. We do a lot of animal rescue transports and that would be a very valuable...
