Changing tone feels like rocket science, so I am using this page to not have as big of a pressure to have my browser tab open

https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Tesla_cybertruck_voids_warranty_if_advertised_Power-Your-Site_feature_is_used

Background

originally:

...These Cybertruck models tend to have large battery capacities around 120kWh.[1] These vehicles consume much more power for their driving operation, like when they are accelerating 0-100km/h (60mph) under three seconds with their over 200kW motors[1]. It is a power requirement that the batteries should handle easily, so it is expected that if regular driving falls within battery warranty that this "Power Your Site" feature would also fall under warranty, especially if it is advertised without any disclaimers.[2]

draft:

... These vehicles are equipped with 200kW motors, which would primarily power the vehicle's movement. Weighing at 3 tons and having 79 MPGe [2nd EVe source here][fueleconomy.gov sauce], driving normally uses more energy than the 11.5kWh the Power Your Site feature would be supplying. Thus, it is strange the Power Your Site features is not covered under warranty, being advertised prominently with no disclaimers. [literally the Tesla Powershare page lmao].

random notes:

as of 2025-06-05 it is dubiously covered under the current limited warranty. page 6; isn't being "stationary" part of powering a house?; | page 8, "Using the vehicle as a permanent or long-term power source with signs of unreasonably high energy throughput that may be inconsistent with the mileage driven;" what is determined as unreasonable? do they get that sole power? I may need to bring this to a talk page, updating the info is not the scope I had when first starting this draft page.

the only thing i know about electric vehicles is from Technology Connections ok. please be patient 🧢
