EV's & Tundra's

I want to bring one to a 1/4 mile drag strip. Smoke some Mustangs and Camaros on their home court

 

Tesla based RV.

yes.

 

We're getting closer. Rivian van looks pretty sweet

 

I was thinking big ole Prevost type ride.

I'm not sure there is room for a recliner in the Rivian.

 

Im guessing no wakesurf ability?

 

Not bad, but should be full forward control design. Hood is useless with no engine in there.

 

Cab over designs tend to test poorly in the safety department. I'd imagine that the design helps with crumple zones in the event of an accident. Plus, there is probably front trunk, so not totally useless.

 

If you are wanting an EV for performance I can see how that might work (not considering towing or range). If you want one for the economy that's debatable. Maybe with the rebates.

If you want to assuage your guilt over global warming, there's an alternative. When wealthy prominent green advocates defend their extravagant fossil fuel usage they point to the purchase of carbon offsets.

After many sleepless nights of guilt over driving my gas guzzler 5k miles/yr it turns out I can buy carbon offsets for less than $50 year to totally offset my use and sleep like a baby.

Problem solved.

 

10X the batteries of a MS Plaid.

damn.

 

I'm still waiting on the "you are about to rub your tire on a curb" alert.

 

the new locations....I hope this link works.

wife is driving
1st at stop light.
fart-can 350z next to us.

he revs.

the wife asks if she should run him.

of course.

no contest.

EV's are brutal off the line. unquestionably unbeatable.


for the inquisitive we keep the car:
in Plaid mode
comfort suspension
comfort steering
medium height
noise cancel on

amazing tech for a grocery getter.

 

or maybe he thought he could beat a woman.

it's awesome to feel the launch & then see the other car not even moving!!!

 

question:

Regards to charging away from the home

based on a supercharging rate of say 300 miles per hour.

what is the rate that all the other EV cars charge at normally?

what rate do all those commercial units "usually" charge at?

 

I’m jealous

MS barely tells you anything about battery usage

just a picture of your present charge amount

 

So, any leaks on semi or cybertruck range when towing heavy? Those are the numbers I desire the most. Ram, for all its faults, is dependable in this department.

In my youth I collected a few speeding tickets b/c I was young and dumb. Don't find any enjoyment jumping off the line, sad but true, I live in fear of making an unnecessary mistake.

Also got my ass kicked by a guy 3x my size in a porsche when I thought it'd be cool to try to race him. So kinda gunshy on that stuff. Hence performance EV has no extra appeal to me. A $20k 3 (call it a one.point.five?) would draw me in. I'd be game for 50 miles of range even. But that's just for put put stuff.

The thought of my wife racing anyone, my jaw would be on the floor mat.

 

yup.

might opt out of beta...
