Took about 23 hours to drive from Des Moines to Palm Beach in a Subaru. That dumpster must have spent more than half the trip charging.
I’m honestly surprised it even has a tow hitch. Actually using it is probably another warranty violation though.
Apparently Teslas are fairly decent for towing stuff. I know someone who got a Model S because it was rated for a higher tow weight than other BEVs at the time.
Mind you, the Cybertruck is probably worse at towing. At least it wouldn’t surprise me given how it’s already worse at everything else.
Should have just put a generator in the bed. Charge while driving non stop. Works for my boat.
Next thing you know, we’ll be putting the generator inside the hood and shrinking the battery to make room.
Something like the Chevy Volt will end up being the future. Except the generator will be removable and replacable to handle different fuels. If not on the fly, then as basic options at purchase.
A diesel locomotive is the future?
Pretty much, it’s the most efficient land transport so far. The only issue is scaling, and also most people don’t need an ICE engine of any sort the majority of the time. Thus, making them optional and replacable is the solution to scaling, and fuel variety.
It’s pretty versatile and gets around the range anxiety problem. Not as efficient Vs conventional ice for high speed cruising but great for most other applications.
