Most of us won't be here when the EV club finally achieves engineering and efficiency perfection, but that day will indeed come.
The second fastest lap turned at Nurburgring was done by an EV and the fastest was a plug in hybrid.
so, against a Fossil Fuel race car with a full tank, who turns more laps/goes further before a refuel/charge?... has anybody run a 500 mile race, EV vs FF, refuel vs recharge/battery swap... curious the outcome?..
No matter what else happens, the Left threw him under the bus. So, I give him credit for that much.
Progressives are the most open minded, tolerant, and inclusive people on the planet, as long as you agree with everything they say, and do exactly as you're told.
Teslas are one trick ponies. Great straight line acceleration, but let’s run 24 hours and Sebring at see what happens.
It took fifty years to perfect the I.C.E. American car and truck. Some might say much longer than that with fuel injection, etc. Most of us won't be here when the EV club finally achieves engineering and efficiency perfection, but that day will indeed come.
EVs aren’t a new idea. In fact, they’re a very old one; one that failed over 100 years ago. The only difference between then and now is the battery technology. They would not be a thing today if it weren’t for the government subsidies you and I are paying for them to exist. Go check out your local charging stations. You will find they don’t work or if they do, the government poured $10,000,000 into them. I can’t remember the last time I heard of the government putting in a gas station. EVs make sense for those who are commuting back and forth to work perhaps, but every person I know who has one also has an ICE vehicle as well. My crystal ball is broken, so we’ll have to see what subsidies exist going forward for the EVs. If they continue, then you are probably right.
The original electric car was designed for women. Nothing has changed in 100 years...
Exactly. I don't buy a 911 to go fast in a straight line. I buy a 911 to go very fast in a curved line.
Exactly. Like the tail of the dragon. I'll race Elon for pinks on a curvy road anyday. Although with a factory powerkit - mine will do 0-60 in less than 3 seconds.
Still, I feel this is just a “statement “ vehicle for urbanites.
It is a statement vehicle for sure. Like a Deagle, unusual and interesting but highly impractical.
I have not gotten a delivery date for the one I have on order but it is the 3 motor version so probably still many months away. There are loads of scenarios I could concoct that it won't be suited to or be able to do at all, but I'm not stuck with a 1 vehicle motor pool so all will probably be well here at the house. My oldest son wants to shoot it on Day Zero. I intend to roll down to South Lake Tahoe to troll boomers. Maybe see how well it crawls off road. Beyond that no idea what to do with it.
Musk designed the truck to look exactly like a wedge of cheese...
The humor in that level of trolling... is so damn funny I literally LOL every time I see a "Cyber Truck" video...
GOAT trollmaster...
Watch the Cybertruck video I posted, if you haven't already. The vehicle is pretty stinking amazing. It's definitely not for me, but some of the firsts in production vehicles will quite likely change how all vehicles are made in the future.

You are kidding, right? Tahoe? Home to about a bazillion techies vacation homes? Yours will be one of hundreds...

Of course you are right on the mechanics... but the wedge of cheese profile is also 100% deliberate trolling.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Probably right. It would be more rare on the Carson City side but according to posts here it won't have the range.
But the good thing about boomers is if they see one at a stoplight and get mad, they'll have forgotten by the next stoplight and it will be a completely new experience.
What I'd do, is stick a generator in the "bed", then drive hwy 50 through NV and UT. Randomly park on the street in every small town and grab a small meal while charging off the generator. Minds would absolutely explode.

That is a beautiful 911.
Hybrids make some sense. Battery resources owned mostly by CCP, a grid that is suspect nation wide, war against anything not solar of wind, and mostly the range and length of time to charge make full electric....crap compared to hydrocarbons
