You could try parking your Lightning higher off the ground to lighten it up

I keep Jupiter above to balance the extra weight from charging

I thought it felt a bit heavier when full lol what makes it gain that extra weight?

mass=energy/c^2

Yeah but what exactly is making it heavier in terms of the battery chemistry?

A spring feels heavier when squeezed for the same reason.

It’s a tiny amount but the spring from a ballpoint pen gains about 82 attograms of energy when pressed.

You’d need to compress tons of pen springs to even notice a difference in their mass

This is why you gotta let it out before hopping in your truck :rofl:

You are guaranteed to get 2.0mi/kWh if you do that

I’m using E85 electrons 15% of them are just orbitals

I prefer the unleaded ones they feel lighter

Anyone know where to find “free” electrons?

Those anti-radiation gadgets on Amazon are throwing out tons of them just grab a net and a funnel

I pulled an F250 out of a ditch today this must be the reason

It’s just like saying you’re lighter when you fart

And that added mass gets even heavier when you speed up getting dangerously close to infinity
