Looks like Elon's turning his creative attention toward the pickup truck. It's gotta be at least 4-5 years out, but this is an interesting feature to think about.

I don't think he can come up with enough batteries to run pipeline welders and shit. Those things make an electric meter sing.

EDIT: The suspension thing is absolutely necessary. I have no idea why they don't use air suspensions in pickups right ****ing now. (They should)

Any idea what kind of juice one of those things draws? I'd imagine it would be a lot, but I could buy that a 100 KWh battery would be able to power one for a short time at least.

Man, I always screw up the math with electricity.

We have this job on a trailer, which is what he'd want to be attaching to a truck.

I think what this is saying is 24 V @ 350 A. And if my math (The conversion calculator LOL) is right, that's 7.8 KW. So say you're welding 45 minutes out of an hour, and you work 10 hours, that would be almost 60 KW, so depending on how long the drive is, that would take a good portion of the battery.

Interesting - that's actually better than I would have guessed. The Model X is probably the closest thing we have to compare to, and it gets around 2.9 miles per KWh. The truck would certainly be heavier than that, so let's assume it gets 2.0 miles per KWh. That would mean a 100 KWh battery could drive around 80 miles (40 KWh) after the usage you described above.

Mind you, I'm making the assumption that a 100 KWh battery is the minimum of what it will come with (based on other specs Elon is tweeting). That probably means we're talking about a $100k+ vehicle. So it isn't exactly going to be the vehicle of choice for your average good ol' boy.

He is an absolute savant on the conceptual side.

Interesting. I'll be watching to see if Elon takes cues from guys who actually use trucks for work. The self adjusting suspension is a good start. Hell, put an air compressor and a tow winch in there too while you're at it.
