    Elon Musk: Tesla Cybertruck Orders Are Gigantic

    Thank you. I was curious what the supercharger charging voltages and amperages are, when charging at 135KW rate. The Tesla "PowerPacks" (at $120,000) are huge (rated at 232 kwh) and are used for small industrial buildings. Tesla "PowerWalls" are used on residential homes and are rated at about...

    Elon Musk: Tesla Cybertruck Orders Are Gigantic

    We are both talking about battery capacity in KWh. The powerpack battery is rated at 232 kwh and costs $120,000. The battery pack in the 500 mile/ 3 motor Cybertruck may be similar in size at about 200-250 kwh and it sells for $70,000. Both have inverters. Maybe the Powerpack's inverter is much...

    Elon Musk: Tesla Cybertruck Orders Are Gigantic

    Even with the Powerpack price reduction down to $120,000, it is still way more than the Cybertruck or Tesla Semi in cost per KWH. I think both have built in inverters to convert the DC to 3 phase AC for the drive motors. I wish I had studied electrical engineering instead of mechanical...

    Cybertruck as mobile powerwall

    Where can I get information on the CT electric drive units and battery sizes of the 2 and 3 motor CTs? Is this the best forum for that?

    Cybertruck as mobile powerwall

    I have a totally off grid situation. No power from grid is possible. I've preordered both the 2 & 3 motor CTs. I've read that the CT super charger cord is good for 250 kw of DC power to charge the CT battery. The CT battery should be close to 200+ kwh. That's similar in size to the $120,000...

    Elon Musk: Tesla Cybertruck Orders Are Gigantic

    What are the input charging voltages and current at a supercharger for a Cybertruck 3 motor? Will a Powerpack work on an off grid system to charge a pair of Cybertrucks? How big an array would I need to power the Powerpack off grid in a very sunny south-facing, no shadow area? 50KW?

    Elon Musk: Tesla Cybertruck Orders Are Gigantic

    Where can I ask technical questions about the Cybertruck and power pack? I have pre-ordered two Cybertrucks.

    <redacted> So Dissapointed

    Maybe it is time for the federal government to at least step up and build huge solar arrays that could supply power to a nationwide supercharging networks. It looks like many power plants are subsidized anyway. It is tough enough to design and build electric cars that are successful. Maybe the...
