Doesn't the Lunar lander by SpaceX come with free Teslas? /s
- _joel 5y agoYou joke, but there's quite a lot of a tesla (or at least it's technologies) inside startship, batteries and motors etc. Not sure they've added the infotainment yet though :)
- jonplackett 5y agoIs there anything that would actually stop a Cyber Truck working on the moon?
- gen3 5y agoI would imagine cooling would be an issue
- _ph_ 5y agoCooling on the one side, making the technology vaccuuum-safe on the other side. Batteries must not expand in the vaccum for example. But it could be doable, if needed by a pressured battery pack. Most of a cybertruck should work as a Moon vehicle.
- _ph_ 5y agoI know, and I wasn't actually joking :p. I wonder how long it would take SpaceX to prepare a Tesla for the Moon. Might be much quicker than building a Moon rover from scratch, especially by "old space" companies.
- King-Aaron 5y agoI honestly would love to see them drop a Model X on the moon to see how it goes (Hypothesis: not well)
- _ph_ 5y agoI think this would mainly depend on making the vehicle vacuum safe, that is the batteries and all cooling circuits. If they did, it could work reasonably well (with properly studded tires).
