    Solar DC input for charging Cybertruck from trailer panels

    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...

    Tesla Range Question

    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...

    Cybertruck with massive solar panels

    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?

    I read that as: any chance of getting an android compatible AR Rifle?

    Cybertruck with massive solar panels

    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.

    Solar DC input for charging Cybertruck from trailer panels

    Spending a 1/3rd of a year exploring an entire country without spending a time on energy would be the whole damn point! It would be awesome!

    Puncture-proof airless tire

    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?

    Nikola is going to crush Tesla with its new technology!

    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...

    Nikola is going to crush Tesla with its new technology!

    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...

    Puncture-proof airless tire

    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...

    Why are we so crazy about the Cybertruck? Post your reason here

    Thank you:) I also love the VW bugs and buses. The Buzz is another one we are watching that we could use for animal rescue.

    Why are we so crazy about the Cybertruck? Post your reason here

    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...

    Nikola is going to crush Tesla with its new technology!

    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...

    Nikola is going to crush Tesla with its new technology!

    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...

    Nikola is going to crush Tesla with its new technology!

    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...

    New Members Welcome Area!

    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...
