In case of living somewhere sunny, because he has solar installed?
reply
If you are using solar why need the cybertruck at all?
reply
Because when you produce more energy than you need, you need to store it somewhere and if the cost is roughly equivalent for that place to be mobile vs a static construction, choosing the mobile one is superior.

There are a whole bunch of "Prepping" scenarios to prepare for.
reply
Because the "prepper" never had to deal with an actual disaster.

You can stockpile diesel for a generator (unlike electrons). That's what actual prepping looks like.

Take it from a Ukrainian.

Diesel can't be stored forever. Maybe a few years with stabilizer. So you need to remember to rotate it out (and have some use for the fuel you're rotating out).

Much easier to just buy some solar panels to recharge the electric truck.

reply
Diesel just lengthens the storage time. You still have to go somewhere to get it when your onsite tank runs dry. For the electric side you could also have a bunch of solar panels. Lots of choices.

And if the needle is so far towards apocalypse, then the horse beats your diesel. Repairs itself, refuels itself, and replaces itself.

> replaces itself At least two horses then.

The ultimate preppers just become Amish.

If it works it's not stupid. Or something.

The supercharger stations will obviously keep working during the apocalypse.
