Tesla is releasing Field-Day mode (er, "party mode") in its models to allow
the vehicle to continue with AC/Heating, Temperature control, airflow,
selective lights and music for up to 48 hours or more while in Park. The
feature will also allow users to power other electric devices using the
electric car's battery.
When you think about it, the 75 kWh battery in the model 3 or the 60 kWh of
the Chevy Bolt can run the average American home at normal loads for about 3
days, or a week under power saving conditions. With about $1000 or more of
solar panels , you can have transportation and also maintain that Field Day
forever. ;-)
Just sayin...
