Anler Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I don't know why they don't use solar trickle charger roofs, hoods and trunks. When I heard about musk designing an electric semi truck I was thinking they could make an entire solar panel trailer which would help it charge and extend range.

I get it just not sure the pay back would ever come back vrs electric outlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

favoritos Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I always wonder how much power is consumed to keep drivers nice and warm inside those things? Creating heat takes power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creating heat takes power. Tesla supercharging rates are around 25 cents a kwh. That bad boy model S has a 100kwh battery pack good for about 300 miles. So if you could could jam 100kwh in a battery pack it would cost about $25. So $10 dollars goes to heat in that car and the range goes down 40 % to 180. So it takes $25 to go 180 miles in the bad boy model Tesla or 13.8 cents per mile. for reference a bad ass 6.2 liter f150 raptor gets 14 mpg on $2.00 Costco gas all winter or 14.2 cents a mile. Only 4 cents more per mile to drive a raptor. The new ecoboost raptor would be cheaper to drive then a Tesla model S 100 in the winter and would be way cheaper and more usable then a tesla Edited February 10, 2019 by BOHICA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
