Re: [amsat-bb] Tesla Field Day mode

Very nice! Wish I could afford [a Tesla]...

A Chevy Volt can run a Field Day (or a house under minimum power) for about 8 hours before it has to start the engine to recharge the battery. These 3 year-old off-lease Volts go for only about $12k.

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.

Very nice! Wish I could afford one...
