have more than just this tweet from elon musk in may of this year tesla did indeed file a patent application that describes a solar powered tonneau cover that will apparently be an option on the cyber truck here's a quote from tesla's patent application wherein the truck bed cover comprises a plurality of solar electric cells that are electrically connected to the battery pack and wherein the plurality of solar electric cells on the truck bed cover in a closed position is configured to recharge the battery pack being able to add around NUMBER_TOKEN miles or more of free range from the sun with your tesla cyber truck will be in quite impressive especially for such a large vehicle and it could be really useful for most people NUMBER_TOKEN miles per day will not be enough to eliminate the need to charge the cyber truck but it should help at least reduce the amount of charging you do need to do and if your cyber truck were parked in a sunny location while you were away say on like vacation or something it would eliminate the phantom drain that all evs face and could actually let you come home to a full charge all from the sun when it comes to availability tesla recently pushed back the delivery timeline of the cyber truck and now production is supposed to happen sometime in late NUMBER_TOKEN with volume production of the cyber truck beginning in NUMBER_TOKEN you can still go to tesla's website right now and reserve a cyber truck however do be aware that there are an estimated NUMBER_TOKEN million plus reservations for the truck so you will have to wait quite a bit of time if you go and reserve one right now but if you want one i would get in line do let me know what you think about three solar powered electric vehicles that i mentioned in this video i'd love to hear from you in the comments section below also thank you so much for watching this video all the way through to the end i'd like to take a moment now to thank the patreon supporters who support me every month and help make this content possible a special thank you to my performance supporters and also the other supporters listed on the screen if you'd like to find out more about the patreon community i've set up i'll put a link in the description below thank you so much
