    Cybertruck is inductive charging ready! Battery connector harness spotted in Service Manual

    Inductive charging doesn't solve this. It can not, and will not, ever provide the level of charge needed for high speed or even highway speed charging. What will solve this is more chargers and reading reviews of charging locations. This is no different than sketchy gas stations. And...

    Cybertruck home charging and utility Time of Use, overnight rates, Not enough time

    Yeah, PG&E just raised off-peak prices to what I was paying for all-day electricity just two years ago. But the price difference is so low - $54 over a year per kWh shifted a day - it's hardly worth doing anything about it. Some timers, maybe, but not a battery system. So annoying. -Crissa

    NO CHAdeMO or CCS

    Well, charge it when you do shifts, and find at least a level 1 for when you sleep, instead of wasting time at a Supercharger. -Crissa

    Home charging Cybertruck using Tesla Mobile Wall connector?

    That's about the same as my Zero charges from a 15a outlet... Not sure the math on that. -Crissa

    Sentry Mode battery drain on Cybertruck

    In an EV, you go further on days with traffic jams than without. You keep saying this, and then you show routes so rural that I'd be dubious taking my Mazda over them. Last time it was a route that was half degraded dirt the last time I was on it. -Crissa

    Wall Connector vs Powershare capable Universal Wall Connector

    Yes. The only real difference for the Universal Wall Connector is that it also supports J1772 devices as well as the NACS/Tesla devices that the standard Wall Connector you already have does. So I could ride up on my Zero and you'd be able to charge my bike. (Although to be honest, my bike...

    Tesla Powershare Home Backup Installation For $9,082.00 In FV SoCal For My AWD: Too Much?

    $3300 for just the single step of something that's going on the same wall next to the panel seems excessive. -Crissa

    High Battery Vampire Drain

    Well, with all those computer systems consuming that much energy, it has to go somewhere. -Crissa

    Tesla is giving $700 voucher to buy wall connector charger (to setup Powershare Home Backup)

    That's still how many hours at Superchargers, though? That's more what I was thinking. -Crissa

    Tesla is giving $700 voucher to buy wall connector charger (to setup Powershare Home Backup)

    No one more penny-pinching than someone who's bought a truck for twice its cost. This offer sounds great! Better than the free Supercharging. -Crissa

    11.5 kw 48A not adding 46 mile per hour

    That is: Irrelevant to cell balancing. Balancing can be balanced at the top, bottom, or a specific level. The study didn't chart it based upon kWh throughput. A battery that is expended from 100% to 0% has done 2x as much work in kWh as one discharged from 75% to 25%. The study was over...

    11.5 kw 48A not adding 46 mile per hour

    Well, it's normal for any poly metal lithium battery. Battery cells (of all types) slowly age slightly differently, and balancing them helps lower this variation in a pack. If you do enough trips, you never need to do it otherwise. But if you don't do enough trips, you should make sure to...

    11.5 kw 48A not adding 46 mile per hour

    All packs need to be cell-balanced at some point. Unless you never do a long trip once a month, you probably should go up to the top at some point. You should also deeply discharge, too, as it allows the computer to 'map' the discharge properties of the cells. LFP batteries are not more or...

    You can power your house with Cybertruck if you already have a Powerwall!! [confirmed by Drew Baglino of Tesla]

    Tesla already uses a wired communication to the vehicle... and wifi. Hopefully they don't do the stupid thing Ford did and require Bluetooth for this. -Crissa

    Used Cybertruck to power my house during power outage

    Not really. Unless it's an earthquake, you're going to have enough warning to charge your truck. And if it's enough to knock out the power, you're likely not going to be doing very much driving. And if you are, there will be other places to charge. -Crissa

    Portable Solar Panels for truck bed?

    I already have this. It's fine, but only works in full sun. I get very little otherwise. The pack is overkill for most camping trips. I used it last year for unSCruz where you can't camp with your vehicle, and that was fine. But usually I just bring the panels and a cable to plug into the...

    Video: We installed POWERSHARE V2H Back-up System for Cybertruck ...how it works! [Smart Charge America]

    Oh, I totally don't use my house's power usage. I use the US average for these conversations! The average US home uses 30 kWh per day. Usually we use lower than average, but right now we're on resistive heat so we're using about twice the average. -Crissa
