No, that's what my car is for. You can't drive your cybertruck when it's running your refrigerator. Wrong tool for the job.

The amount of money you spent on a cybertruck could’ve instead been spent on a generator, gasoline for the generator, and a car to go buy gasoline for the generator. Or, battery packs & solar panels, and a generator, and gasoline for the generator, and a car to go buy gasoline for the generator. That car could even be an EV, just a much more efficient one.

The power being delivered on wheels that go with you is the whole point. A permanently affixed generator doesn't help get power out into the middle of the field when I need to do things like weld farm equipment. There are plenty of solutions out there, but the power source and truck carrying the tools being one and the same would be quite attractive if the aforementioned problems were solved.

There is an entire genre of welding equipment designed for this scenario.

If there is a major outage most bosses understand that you won't be working normally because you need to deal with the emergency.
