Hummer is coming back....

[DAVESVT2000]

Plan for the length of trip exactly like you need to do with a gas powered truck?

May friend drove his dad’s Model X from Florida to Mass last spring.

In a gas powered car he’s made the trip in 26 hours.

in the Tesla it took 42 hours, he had to stop 16 times to charge it. And of course none of the charging stations were at rest stops, they were all off the highway in shopping centers, office parks, municipal buildings, etc.

said he would never do that again, if his dad wants it brought back to Florida he’ll have it shipped.

there is a thing that was invented a long time ago called a fuel can.

nostalgic cars will become a fad

I didnt realize fuel cans carried infinite fuel.

They carry more fuel than electricity.

Yes let me get my bazillion mile extension cord out here.

I think that what he is saying is that regardless of additional fuel cans or a limited energy supply, when planning a trip “off the grid” one has to plan according to the range available (whether on a limited energy supply or with fuel and any extra cans).

You guys are too funny

To my point, I am not going on a weekend long overland trip in an EV. In my Jeep, yes. I can carry easily 50 gallons of fuel with me in rotopax fuel containers. Camp overnight, etc, etc. There is a legit chance that you could wake up the next morning and your EV be DOA. If you do an overland in an EV, you better bring a diesel generator with you that can handle the load. Look, I am all for EV vehicles. But they are much more limited than an IC vehicle right now on extended journeys.

11,500 pound-feet of torque (1:37)?

I am sure that is after all the torque multiplication.

Slightly.....ok, very misleading.

I guess I do not understand how they are coming up with that number.

Isn't that more than a top fuel dragster???

You do know you can get a ex military surplus one for about 1/3rd the cost. I love that Circleville Ohio is about 4 hours from me and so I could get one for around $10,000
