Hurricane cleanup w/ Cybertruck in Bradenton Florida: towing, sleeping, providing power

[ldiebel]

Our church did hurricane cleanup in Bradenton this weekend. Good use of the Cybertruck.

- Pulling trailer with 3,500 pound electric tractor (Solectrac e25G)
- Left Merritt Island Friday around 4 pm with 100% charge
- Charged in Fort Pierce, arrived with forty some percent (can't remember)
- 32 chargers, lots of room to pull in sideways and not have to unhook trailer
- Charged in Arcadia, probably could have made it to Sarasota
- Still testing Cybertruck estimates while pulling trailer
- Only 8 chargers, but one is pull in, so didn't have to unhook trailer
- Charged in Sarasota
- Lots of chargers, but it was busy, had to unhook trailer, dang.
- Arrived at the church, slept in the truck
- I've been working on a sleeping setup so we can Tesla-camp like our other Tesla's
- See photo, I have one that goes in the front too, I could post pictures if anyone in interested
- Truck was great, chainsaws, tarps, rakes and many other assorted tools and supplies
- Tractor started at 100% charge, ran for 6 hours or so and was at 47%
- Charged at Ellington supercharger to 80%, 77% by the time I got back to the church
- Used the 240v Cybertruck invertor to charge tractor overnight
- Tractor batteries are 25kwh total, so probably 13 kwh or so
- Tractor uses about 3.3 kw when charging
- Truck was at 52% in the morning after charging the tractor and running the A/C all night
- Quick Sacrament meeting Sunday at 7:30 am, then back to work by 8 or so
- Headed home about noon, truck was at 47%
- Truck estimated 9% arrival at Arcadia, at that point I was trusting the estimates with the trailer more
- Arrived at Arcadia supercharger with 8%
- Truck estimated 11% charge at Fort Pierce
- Arrived at Fort Pierce supercharger with 6%
- I generally modulate my speed to regulate arrival charge
Always good to help people and the Cybertruck was a very useful part of that service.
Also, for a geek like me, it was really fun to see my plan come together.

Thanks Elon! We LOVE our Cybertruck!

great job
I live in a neighborhood in St Pete and numerous people said Id be a good commercial for Tesla. My house had power throughout with Tesla solar roof and power walls made coffee for neighborhood and had numerous peeps staying with us or coming over to just cool down. I used my cybertruck as a generator going over to neighbors plugging in shop vacs to pick up water in their houses. Tesla is ready when you are.

As expected, we went over to Bradenton again last weekend.
We camped in the CT, same as the previous weekend.
I'm going to make another thread with some pictures of the front and rear camp beds.
- Left Merritt Island Friday with 100% charge
- CT estimated we would make it to Arcadia with 9%
- I had more confidence in it's estimates with the trailer, so I decided to skip charging in Fort Pierce
- We arrived at Arcadia with 8%, pretty much the speed limit all the way
- Charged to 90%, I forget what we had when we got to the church in Bradenton
- We had plenty of charge for our running around on Saturday, around 35% by the end of the day
- Charged at Ellington to 90%
- Tractor started at 100%, 19% by the end of the day, moved a lot of logs and brush
- Great little tractor, the grapple is so much fun, saves so much manual labor
- Back to the church with 85%
- Charged tractor to 68% overnight
- CT had 62% after charging tractor and running A/C overnight
- Cleaned up a couple more places Sunday, last one was in Arcadia
- CT had 18% when we were done and at the Arcadia charger
- Charged enough to get to Fort Pierce
- Charged at Fort Pierce enough to get home
- Only what was needed since power is 3 times more expensive at a super charger
The Cybertruck is so awesome. Pulled the trailer with the tractor easily.
