LOL. :). I never thought of the 50 pound weight thing. Next time we are camping maybe we’ll try that just for kicks.
Sorry, I've done the same thing...worked thru a detailed solution only to have someone bypass the whole issue.
Who knows, maybe they have a heartbeat monitor in the seat or something else making it so a weight won't work.
I haven't heard much about it lately but Ford really took a smart lead on this with their electric F150 models. With big battery banks when you don't need all of it for propulsion, it's a great alternative to a generator. I suspect with Tesla it simply doesn't line up with their core business model. Lots of contractors and campers can benefit from their F150 replacing a generator. Probably far fewer Tesla owners are likely to benefit on a regular basis from a similar system.
Yah I totally agree. They did show a 120 and 240 volt plug on the Cybertruck intro a couple years ago. My guess is it will make it into production. But who knows.
I like that F150 lightning. Think it will be a nice truck. Unfortunately a truck is not in our immediate future. Right now we are a one car family and it can’t be a truck for a number of reasons. But the model Y is serving us well as our tow vehicle and general purpose wheels. We are not ruling out a truck in a few years and even have a reservation for a Cybertruck (just in case :).
Anyway. Lots of new tech coming down the pipe.
