Printed solar panels tested before taking Tesla on 9,400-mile journey | Watch (msn.com)
Hello; it seems the object of this is to see if the trip can be made charging the batteries with flexible solar panels. There appear to be 18 such panels with each being 59 feet long?? They only show one in the video so I am not sure.
I guess the plan is to unroll the panels and let the sun charge the car. One such panel would be hard enough to deal with. I may be mistaken about using 18 panels as that would take up a lot of ground space.
Not many details. I am pretty confident the charging will be during the day. So they may only drive at night? Perhaps charge one day and drive the next?
If 18 panels are used the question of where all 18 would be carried comes to mind. The one shown in the video appeared sizeable. Not clear that 18 could fit in the car. Perhaps the panels are carried in a support truck???
