Most people can’t comprehend towing this kind of weight…

I seen one of those units towing a bullet holiday trailer down the qe-2 awhile ago,,, it was a nice looking set-up...

Kinda stealth if you ask me,,, my friend said "why wouldn't he buy a truck "...

I said i don't know,,, maybe it's the only vehicle they own so why not use it...

Lots of folks chat about this stuff but have they ever driven one for a few weeks,,, months or years...

One person's experiences would be different then the next person's...

No one knows unless they really try one for awhile,,, I'm game too try anything and everything...

I'm sure id enjoy what ever it is,,, a bit of getting use too iim sure,,, no different then switching back and forth between e-bikes and analog...

I like analog bikes but I also like the e when I encounter steep climbs...

A particular tool for every job and a chance too change it up once in awhile...

Stagnet and stuck in the mud or free lance too see what else is out there...

A win win or maybe not...

Each person gets too decide what works or not...

Thanks for sharing gang

Don

Now I find out there's 3 Tesla's in the fleet...

All i can say is Wow,,, Zero too Ten of likes...

My friend said his peev is range,,, what are you talking about I said,,, theres 431 kms too empty on your 85% charge...

(Thats where he set its priamiter. )

There are chargers everywhere out here,,, 20 minutes and your up and runn'ing,,, as if folks dont stop every 2 or 3 hours... The infrastructure is mostly in place,,, thousands and thousands of chargers...

The new battery plant is just down the road from my cousin place,,, it will be the 4th largest factory in Canada,,, 1 mile square of building...

My friend is getting ruffly 47 mpg,,, he could get better mileage but hes hard on the throttle... lol...

If he taps it kool he can pull off 66 mpg in ruff calculation...

His new Tesla's gets crazy range,,, hes got a Cyber truck on order...

They thought about some ev tractors but they picked up some new tractors before they came out...

Anyways,,, I going too tell all my friends too (not) bother going ev so I can get the price down on them...

I can't believe how quiet they are and talk about fast,,, Zero too 100 mpr in seconds...

I'm game too test a few more just for the heck of it,,, We only live once and i don't want too miss out on this crap...

Correct,,, e might not be for everyone,,, but there are folks that can use this new tech...

I'll have too admit they definitely hit the fun catagory,,, dam near like a rocket on wheels...

Cheers gang...

That would be fun….
I seen 288kph… looks like it gets to 200 quite quickly… that’s impressive.
Where did this rank for consumer autos?

Btw… for where I live, I’m not anywhere near ready to own one of these electric cars.
