I dont need a 200kwh + battery pack 98% of the time in my soon to be Tri Motor CT.
What I really want is just dual motor 300 mile range CT with the option to rent a 100kwh battery pack at my local Tesla service center for a week of camping.
Rivian is planning to do it.
Rivian patents "removable auxiliary battery" for its R1T electric pickup truck - Electrek
What do you think the chances Tesla would do something similar? Can they?
Seems wasteful to have 200kwh parked not being utilized 98% of the time.
I think a better design would be a electrical/ coolant connector on a cord from the aux battery pack that you plug in to the inside of the CTs bed would be batter than fixed hole in the bed that could get stuck with debris ( rivian)
We know the CT will have a 240v plug in the bed, why not add in/out cooling ports for an aux battery right next to it.
Thoughts?
