I just purchased a ATC 8.5x28' toy hauler over I picked up over the weekend. Cruise set to 60mph to try to be efficient as possible and not hold up traffic too much. Pretty flat terrain. I was getting 1.2KW/Mi, so I definitely need to get the range extender when that is available. Where I pickup...
yep, I took it really easy the first few laps to get a feel for the traction. I was really surprised how well the truck griped on dirt in the turns and braking and I was doing a little power drifting with rear bias on the corner exits.
The track has a table top jump and I was told I need to...
Had the pleasure of driving my Cybertruck around the SxS track at Cycle Ranch MX in San Antonio, TX. Video was taken on one of my first laps as I was getting a feel for the Tesla Cybertruck, only doing abut 1/3 of the speed I felt comfortable in. In subsequent laps, I topped 70Mph on the back...
Hi folks,
I’m planning a camping trip this summer so testing out the ac outlets in the truck. It seems like the standby current increases substantially when ac outlets are on to the tune of 8-10% a day on top of the power delivers to my AC loads (just a ~60W fridge). This is not really...
Hey Cybergus, thanks for that Video.
That's pretty much what I had in mind currently with an off-grid 240V system and I can build with off the shelf components. I"m not planning a cannonball run, so the use case is a little different. I will just need to generate enough to explore a little...
I'm not proposing direct access to the HV battery. You keep bringing up the cells needed to reach voltage, but I do not believe that is the case. My assumption is the AC charger inside the car rectifies the incoming AC to DC and then does a high frequency DC/DC conversion to match the battery...
My initial thought was I was going to stake them down on the GND like I would a tent at basecamp. SHouldn't take more than a few min to do. The only way I can think of right now is to use a battery since I can't control the CT Charge current in real time to match the solar output. Essentially...

I've been looking at flexible panels. Something like https://www.bougerv.com/products/fiberglass-100-watt-solar-panel
40x24x0.08" 100 watts each, so carrying 3KW and laying them on the ground when overlanding is <3" thick if I believe their dimensions.
#10, I would also love to see some method of solar charging. The only way I can think of now is to use an inverter/charger and a small-ish battery (48V, ~5kwh) to provide 240VAC to charge. Direct MPPT is something I would want also. Rumors are the the CT has provisions for inductive charging...
