Simply buy a cybertruck and put a generator in the back that's constantly running to charge it.

That would still make them cleaner than a diesel ICE truck. Since the generator can continuously run at a constant rpm where the engine burns the fuel efficiently. So that would also generate the least particulate matter since the burn would be cleaner.

There is a Canadian company called Edison who will retrofit a truck into a hybrid. They add two electric axle engines and convert the IC engine into a generator to charge the batteries.

With all the ICE cars in use, I would love to see hybrid retrofitting go mainstream

It’d be a great repair for cars that need a new engine block.

Are you suggesting they drive... a hybrid?!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

As long as you keep the generator running when you're driving it's just an externally located internal combustion engine.

So an external combustion engine.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

No the combustion occurs internally in the externally located engine.

The ship has been towed outside the environment.

They could use a stirling engine as a generator, that’s what an external combustion engine looks like.

Also a fire hazard.

There are videos that walk through how to "de-pussify" (or some other misogynistic term) cyber trucks to make them run on diesel. I don't know enough about cars or cyber trucks to know how valid they are.

That's hilarious. I'm guessing it would end up about as structurally sound as this
