What are the crumple zones on the cybertruck? In a 50mph crash it seems the occupants will absorb the full 50 mph since the cybertruck is seemingly so sturdy it's not going to crumple anywhere to absorb some of the energy of the collision. So the occupants will get the full deceleration in an...
High frequency switching of some electronic devices such as inverters emit signals that interfere with the AM signal band. Some can be filtered but it's difficult to get it all or even most of the interfering signals. That is why Tesla has done away with AM radios in all their cars. I have a...

Unless you have net metering you'll have to do your charging in the middle of the day. Even with net metering you'll probably need about 10 400-watt panels to drive 10000 miles per year for free. If you drive more you'll need more panels. If you want your house powered by solar, you'll need yet...
