Many manufacturers are looking for new ways to make their electric vehicles more efficient. Adding solar panels on vehicles is one of these considerations. However, this method has not yet been fully adopted due to the weight brought by the panels and the fact that the panels are not yet efficient enough. Tesla, one of the most famous electric car manufacturers, also seems to be taking some steps in this direction.
What is Tesla planning with this trailer with solar panels?
Tesla revealed an interesting vehicle at a fair in Germany. The trailer with solar panels and SpaceX Starlink internet satellite on it aroused great curiosity. It is not yet known what Tesla wants to do with this vehicle, which is a guest of the IdeenExpo fair held in Hannover, Germany.
Critical security error in Tesla vehicles! Europe took action
A new security bug has been discovered in Tesla models. Germany said the vehicles’ emergency aid system was not working.
Even if we consider that these solar panels are 300 W, they will provide a maximum of 2.7 kW of energy per day. On average, this can only offer a vehicle a range of 80 km. Not to mention the extra weight of the trailer.
Except in very rare cases, we cannot say that the vehicle with this solar panel is very useful. Another remarkable point is that the vehicle carries a Starlink receiver on it. As it is known, SpaceX had recently obtained the necessary permissions to provide Starlink service in vehicles in motion.
In addition to this solar panel vehicle, Tesla also took its place at the fair with different products. The company also brought a trimmed Tesla Model Y to the show. In this way, while the details of the vehicle were revealed, the battery system with 4680 cells was also revealed. In the fair, where a section of Model Y and the battery were included, Tesla’s most interesting presentation was undoubtedly the trailer with solar panels.
While this mysterious vehicle remains a mystery, there has been no explanation from Tesla yet. So what do you think about this vehicle of Tesla equipped with solar panels and Starlink receiver? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
