Cybertruck Ancillary Power ?

[HAL GALLUS]

Just reverse engineering from the model X numbers, which is the closest in terms of weight and size.

Model X reference consumption: 360 wh/Mile

Assuming they get 500 miles of range as promised you can just multiply it out.

340wh/Mile • 500 miles = 180,000 Wh,

Or 180 kWh, which is 80 kWh more than the current model X battery pack. Considering that's probably lower reference consumption than the cyber truck will have, it's safe to assume the battery will likely be even larger.

For more fun, the power wall 2.0 holds about 13.5 kWh of juice, so assuming the inverter is as efficient as Tesla usually builds them it's basically 13.3 power walls in your truck. The average American house uses ~10kWh a day, so it could provide 2 weeks of backup power if you run it dead from full, which you won't. Teslas batteries perform best between 20% and 80%, which is still a ton of power, over a week's worth.

Any way you cut it, it's going to be a tank, even with 4680s.

Hope that answers some questions for you, I always love an excuse to do some back of the envelope math.

kihe Elon said its going to be one hell of a machine !
