I know I'm right....
Just saw a short vid on it. Tractor alone can do 0-60 in 5 seconds, million mile warranty, 500 mile range, shatter proof glass. Center seating (weird) 20% cheaper operating cost than Diesel. Interesting.....
Yeah it's the ugliest thing too. Just think how much it would cost to replace the batteries.Just saw a short vid on it. Tractor alone can do 0-60 in 5 seconds, million mile warranty, 500 mile range, shatter proof glass. Center seating (weird) 20% cheaper operating cost than Diesel. Interesting.....
I watched a video of the unveiling of one of them Texas
It was hilarious, he mentioned something about the battery and the crowd went wild
Then he mentioned the 1/4 mile time and the crowd didn't have a clue what he was talking about
You're talking about "perpetual motion". Problem is, it will not work. Any kind of wind turbine will create more drag than it is worth. Using more energy than it produces. What could work is solar panels all over the top of the trailer (a big area). That would only help extend range, and of course they don't work at night. The other thing that helps extend range is regenerative braking, which (to make it simple) turns the motor into a generator when the brakes are applied or during decelleration/coasting, charging the battery. Most battery/hybrids already have some form of this.I've had this thought before about electrics. The vehicle is moving, that's the entire point of it. Motion can be used to create electricity. They have air motion and tire motion. Why could that motion not be translated into creating electricity to recharge those batteries? I have considered the drag issue as a stumbling block. Surely at the very least it could increase the operational range of the vehicle. Just a thought.
The Tesla's all have regenerative braking and Musk also has a large stake in Solar City which will be the largest solar panel mfg in the US in a short time.You're talking about "perpetual motion".

Regenerative braking is classified as passive braking. Like an engine brake. They will still need Mechanical brakes, air usually. Just saying... There is loads of energy that can be converted from kinetic to electric, lots of momentum .You can't achieve perpetual motion till you can nuetralize or eliminate "friction", imo
Formula "E" uses regenerative braking.
