Solar inlets

[bad61]

I have 400 Eco flow panels that I would to carry around as backup. Would be nice to have inlets on the CT instead of carry around the Eco flow battery

Having a solar charge controller built into the truck would be very handy.

It's been discussed before, that a modest source of generation could extend the truck's range - and as you point out, save bulky external parts.

If you have a small battery you can just feed the battery the solar output and have that same battery feed an inverter powering an EVSE that you charge the Tesla with. As the sun changes just track the solar and adjust the charge speed to match so the battery doesn't get too full or too empty.

I'd rather just tow a diesel generator and be like a locomotive

That means you need to carry another battery. And you have to stop, deploy the charger, and wait, to get the power back out.

It would be definitely be convenient to just plug in the solar connector, right to the truck. Would give us something to combat the vampire drain.

This could be an easy way for Tesla to appease those of us who want the solar bed cover he mentioned, way back when.
