I wonder how long the battery pack on the tesla will run the radio.
- dangrossman 9y agoSomewhere between a few days and a few weeks. Vampire drain on Tesla's vehicles is already pretty bad (up to several percent a day) without tossing 'em into space where the battery heater has to run all the time.
- Cshelton 9y agoBut! The underbelly of the car would be a solar panel =p Crank the radio up to 11! (Which is funny because Tesla’s volume actually goes to 11) So actually, they'd for sure have to disable the heater on the battery, and I dunno, can the battery operate enough power to power the stereo when it's negative crazy low temp in space?
