No one even mentioned that you can always make your own EV fuel with solar on the roof of your house. Pretty hard to drill an oil well and put up a refinery in your back yard.
So add an extra $10-20k to the cost for a rooftop system capable of generating 20-30kwh per day...oops, the truck is parked at work during the day, so you need a really long extension cord.
Not so easy or cheap for a typical user to use solar to charge the truck.
Exactly, and please don’t say my Powerwall will charge it at night. I have neighbor who did the whole package, Solar roof, double Powerwall at 36kw capacity, Model 3. The problem is the car has a 78 kw battery iirc. That pesky math got in the way.
His home package was purchased prior to the price jump, it is one that ate Teslas lunch took 4 Tesla installers 6 weeks to do it. With incentives the house was 62k.
Forgot to add the roof was sold with an 11k daily output during peak sun days.
