Title: What on Earth is This?

I saw this on a sponsored link at a social media site.

My first reaction. Is simply WTF?

Is this some AI generated silliness or is someone actually building this answer to a question nobody asked?

Either way, I want it. :awesome:
I´ve got a weakness for tiny cute machinery with tracks.

The pictures are clearly rendered / AI and some of the points are just wrong. You need active cooling in a battery power source this large. Mr. tirls work place builds a "portable" power block for remote areas like building sites in norway and sweden. You need either a decently large photovoltaik to recharge, or recharge via the power grid or with hydrogen. But it needs to have active cooling as soon as the temperatures go above freezing, otherwise it gets hot enough inside to boil eggs. It´s not zero maintenance and the efficiancy is not as good as it could be because of it.

I seem to recall that there are a few of the smaller, consumer-level battery power stations that have drive mechanisms in them.  But those are just to help move a heavy battery pack around on a hard surface.  I don't think I've ever seen one quite this big (100kW) before, or one that has the ability to tow things!  Interesting, but it seems like it would be quite a niche market, particularly at that price.

Move the decimal point one place left and you can get the mini:

You could build a chair on top and drive around on it. Or add two massive goggly eyes and build wall-e.
