    Cybertruck as mobile powerwall

    Are there folks considering using the cybertruck as a stationary/mobile set of powerwalls? My initial thoughts were the 75 kW is actually ~5 powerwalls plus a basic truck that I could combine with my 11,655 PV array.

    I'm not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere or answered so apologies in advance.

    weight of 85kwh of electrons, a somewhat non-sensical question

    I realize this is a somewhat non-sensical question, but I am trying to vaguely find the "weight" of 85kWh of electrons. "It takes 6 x 10^18 electrons to equal a coulomb. A kilowatt hour is a measure of power. An amp is equal to one coulomb/second. A watt is volts x amps. SO, if you had a...
