The CAT994H holds 1014g of diesel fuel. A nominal 60g/hr consumption rate will permit 16.9 hr of operation, in which it will lift enough bauxite for 2129 Tesla batteries.
One Tesla kWh. Battery has about 275 kg of aluminum, which requires 5 tons of the red mineral bauxite. The CAT 994H doesn’t haul the material, only lifts it into the truck. Assuming 30 lifts/ hr it consumes -2g diesel per lift. 1 lift= 21 tons (4.2 Tesla batteries)
From Catapillars website the 994H has a 1577 HP engine and can lift 35 tons (77000 lbs) at once.
1577 HP consumes 85 gal/hr @100%throttle but it’s not expected to consistently operate at full throttle & rated load. ( more likely 40-70% of each, I will use 60%)
“Comparative models” is all I could find when referencing fuel prices. I remember seeing premium mentioned at some point, and that would make sense since luxury class vehicles are all I ever see head to head.
My less efficient ModelY looks to be counted as a 25mi/g vehicle in the calculations...
Indiana just published their study encompassing all of 2021: My takeaways
-Vaccinated infection rate about 2-3x more than natural immunity.
- <19yo vaccine effectiveness considerably less than natural immunity.
- The conclusion of less "all-cause ED visits" shouldn't be the endpoint here. How...
Limited charging “If hits level 3 escalation”. The whole country will be shut down and freezing at level 3, They don’t even have level 1 restrictions yet. Switzerland has a plan drafted because they import most of their energy, and this is what Hot Air cherry picks to get clicks. Essential...
Somebody captured this image of what they believe the 81k rig looked like for testing.
11 Jersey walls @4000lbs each= 44,000
Flatbed trailer approx 10,000, So Tesla semi unladen weight seems to be close to 27,000lbs. A ton heavier than other class 8’s.
West Carmel, thanks for offering, but going to try the food saver route since we have plenty of bags and freezer space. Thanks for all the advice guys!
People take my picture if I’m filling jerry cans at the pump with my Tesla. I’d bet that goes on social media with a notion of me charging my car with a generator. So in gridlock traffic with thousands of vehicles going by, we all know some FUDster/ anti EVer would be overjoyed to capture the...
First they get a storm alert message on the screen 48-72 hours prior to estimated landfall. The alert recommends charging to 100% battery to reduce impact on travel. The superchargers have live statuses that, if needed, ensure you're routed to a powered charger. Natural Disaster Policy gives...
