^I understand that, but There is PV cells that do not need sunlight to use. Wouldn’t those be better?
Not for Wall-E, he’s made for being outside. Not cleaning inside, I assume he just chose to live in the house, because of cover.
I guess it was unreal [spoil]getting hit by lightning twice, and still working. for a machine it takes a little shock to ruin it[/spoil]. But maybe humans advanced that or something…
-EIA-
^yeah, probably, but he is designed for working through all weather, all terrain.
"Where is WALL·E getting his power for his house from? There is no solar panels on the truck, and no obvious source of other power. "
There are 2 giant banks of Solar Panels covering Walle’s truck, and also a mountain of car batteries with wire cables attached to them INSIDE his truck.
Both PAINFULLY obvious.
Yeah… that part didn’t make any sense at all. Kinda bugs me 
When EVE visits his house you will notice strings of light coming on one by one as he attaches wires to the big pile of batteries in the back of his home.
Both are handled by the ship. When the Captain is doing morning rounds he checks on the Regenerative Food Bar and Atmospheric conditions. So the ship and robots take care of that somehow. Probably recycling waste (ew) and air scrubbers.
The IMDB FAQ has a good technical explanation. imdb.com/title/tt0910970/faq#.2.1.23
Actually the tipping might be explained.
If the ship has its own gravity field, the ship might have a way to tip. Even so, it does beg the question where does the gravity come from? 
I did not see them! O_o.
Some sort of gravity generator. If you remember the docking bay, when the doors close there’s suddenly gravity, so it can be turned on and off and adjusted at will. So it would be easy for Auto to adjust the gravity to make everyone slip over to one side of the ship, but that would not require actually tilting the ship. I’m sure that was just to make it clearer to people what was happening as not everyone can be a sci-fi geek.
Maybe Auto was making sure.
Sorry points at self science geek.
I’m thinking they did recycle everything to get new stuff. Think about the waste and then to replace it wouldn’t be hard (sadly) So everything could have been artifical and also been replenished
Which is why it was in a cup. But the Axiom was only designed to last 5 years, so it must have had plenty of backup systems.
That explanation is AWESOME. Essentially what I assumed, but in detail. Almost hilarious how thorough that reasoning is.
Funny yet true.
You can replace the motherboard of your computer and keep the hard drive.
You will retain all your data and information. (operating system too)
But there is one thing lost in the process, your BIOS (Basic In/Out System)
Its your motherboards…well operation system (Like Windows or OSX)
This is where your computer stores settings for your system specs. So it will ask you the information for the systems parts.
Maybe Wall-E just had his BIOS reset and went out for a time where the basic system told him to do what he was originally programmed for. Then, after the settings were updated, the system rebooted and his personality was back.
But I like to think EVE kissing him just saved him 
People claim to have heard the sound of a hard drive spinning up after she kisses him? Anyone else notice that?
No, I didn;t
There’s always the possibility that the shock from EVE’s “kiss” wasn’t just a shock, she could’ve been transfering the information she could’ve gotten in the Define Dancing scene.
I think a healthy portion of “suspension of disbelief” would be in order to enjoy this movie, or any movie. But one thing I don’t get is [spoil]why wasn’t the Captain, or any other robots, surprised at seeing such an old and outdated robot aboard the Axiom? Even John and Mary weren’t bemused.[/spoil] My theory is that the poor diet of the humans, combined with the lack of exercise, made their brains sluggish. They didn’t cotton on to the fact they had a swimming pool, so an outdated robot probably wouldn’t faze them… Anyone have an answer for this?
Because WALL•E’s love for EVE was so strong that he wanted to make EVE happy, to help her complete her directive.
But he wasn’t designed to be in an artificially lit area. He was designed to stay on Earth and clean during the day and shut down at night, to be recharged in the morning. BNL didn’t intend for him to still be around 700 years later, develop a personality and climb aboard the artificially-lit Axiom.
The treads would probably provide grip.
And also the security vision she had taped of WALL•E over the time he was looking after her may have been transferred to him.
That IMDb Q and A section is very thorough. Thanks!
rachel- I’ll go with you with the idea that the human brains had become sluggish over time. Also, they seem generally unable to distinguish between different robots (even though, to us, they obviously all look different). Add to that, the fact that the humans didn’t really care about the robots. They were just tools to be used in order to make their lives easier, so new or old, clean or dirty, it just didn’t matter to them.
Yes, probably LG, as demonstated, people just take them for granted.
also, this thread contains my first post 
Here is what most people say when I mention WALL-E to them:
1- I heard it was really good.
2- I heard it was really bad.
3- WALL-E is so cute (I don’t know what their opinion is).
