Delicate dance AND electrical starvation
I remember driving through the Sierras on I-80 with the family in the Tiger. It was a cold and snowy evening and there was an accident ahead so traffic just creeped. The generator couldn't keep up with the load of lights, heater blower, wipers, and radio at the low speed. Had to try to keep RPM up enough to generate enough electricity. Updates going into the new engine compartment definitely include a small alternator.
Merry Christmas to all......
