Curious though, how would this compare to a cheap non envirowhacked genny with a 55 gallon drum of gasoline?
Tesla, 3 or 4 hours IF you have a large enough inverter, then dead and useless, for $60,000
Cheap genny and a drum of gasoline 55 gallons, 4 gallons a day to keep the fridge (and beer) cold,,, two weeks at $500
Yep typical.
The cybertruck is reported to have up to a 200KWh battery. A modern 'fridge uses around 50KWh of energy a month, so if all you want to do is keep your fridge cold, you can power it off your cybertruck battery for 4 months. And you don't have to worry about storing a 55 gallon drum of gasoline and keep it rotated and fresh. And you won't need to turn off the generator every 4 days to change the oil.
But actual humans dont only run the fridge, I used that simply as an example. And if you wany to really compare, dont forget that the genny can be "reloaded " for about $130 for two more weeks,
The Tesla will still be a $60,000 fishing sinker.
