Enough Musk Spam
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

It takes 3-4 days to fully charge my car 0-100% using a 120v wall plug. That's about 1500W, which can be produced by 3-5 panels depending on their size.
3-4 days to charge using 3-5 panels that also have to power your house?
That's the slowest charging method using not a lot of panels. I would also hope you're not planning on regularly driving 200-300 miles to need this much charging.
I think you are confused.
Volts * Time != Watts
EV Battery Capacity is measured in Watt Hours, not Watts.
If you had 1500 Watts Hours in an EV Battery... that'd be about 1/10th a charge of the earliest EVs with roughly 10 kWh batteries and less than 1/100th of the CyberTruck's approximately 123 kWh battery pack.
Yes, 3 to 4 smaller consumer grade solar panels ... really more like 8 to 10... can have a cumulative energy production of 1500 Watt Hours...
But Watts are not Watt Hours. And 1500 Watt Hours is an extremely small amount of energy in terms of an EV.
I entirely do not mean to be a dick here, I'm genuinely curious as to what you are actually trying to describe.
Yes. I know how it works. I was saying the charging rate is 1500W.
1500 ... Watts... per... hour?
A 'rate' typically includes a per unit of time aspect.
Watts is already Joules per second. It's a measure of power, not energy.
Huh, just noticed your the same person replying with that ridiculous scenario and you don't even know units of electricity. Sounds accurate.
