Yeuuup. Gotta be able to turn the car ‘off’, and if the car is off (disconnected contact loop to engage the big battery) it cant receive the signal to turn on. (Connect the contactor to engage big battery)

So something has to always be on.

Which makes the big ‘fuel’ battery into a fancy alternator to keep the 12v/48v stuff on and running lol.

If you disconnect the tiny (in comparison) 48v battery from the main battery it wont charge and the car dies even if the big battery is fully charged.

Long story short, teslas fail to modern car problems but with the added bonus of failing to other dumb tesla-specific problems.

Seeing a heavy duty diesel tow truck haul a cybertruck is about as on-the-nose as you can get for the reason it sucks.

But aluminum is lighter AND stronger to help this 6600lb+ truck be fast and agile! A guy i paid to tell me I’m right made a graph which shows aluminum number is bigger! Those other truck manufacturers that have thousands of years of collective engineering experience are fools next to my brilliance.

He wasnt kidding when he said its straight from the cyberpunk genre. Pretty junk designed to fall apart sold by a corpo that doesn’t care.

900lbs is 4 fat adults. My sedan could haul that.

Dont worry! They fixed all that! The turd only needed a bit more polishing! Now its a diamond! Just be sure to only use the door frame as a vegetable peeler as that is what it’s designed for.
