I hate to distract y'all from your thoughts of boobies and what you are dreaming of getting from them, but.....
Another consideration is that with an ICE, typically you can probably take the rated fuel economy, and expect to get 20% less. That's under IDEAL conditions. My 2010 Honda Fit was rated 50 on the highway (Real (Canadian) gallon is larger than the fake imperial one, and our tests are different), and 40 in the city. The best I got on the highway was about 42. The best I got in the city was 29.
Now, take that and translate it to an EV with 300 mile range (500km, for us Canadians). take 80% of that. You now get 400km of range, and that's NOT accounting for reduced range in extreme cold.
Remember earlier I said I was 230km from the nearest big city? Well, when you apply the same rules to an EV as apply to an ICE as the quote above does for towing, that EV with a 500km range will die 60km from home, if I go to the city, make ONE STOP, then leave for home. Meanwhile, my Fit would make it home easily, doing that same trip. My Taurus, were it in good shape, will run out of gas 30km from home, so I guess I'd better fill up before I come home.
well my good man. thats just it isnt it?
what do you need?
what must you do?
the goals and objectives vary humorously amongst us. you got cbxer whom cant wear out an a4ld after 50 years...and a fuking clown like me that pays 3000 dollars for the most bad ass a4ld ever built to that point in time(1994)...drives right to silverlake...and melts it...literally welded shafts together in it 4 hours later....
of all the nay sayers here....and i dont mean the relative passing of legitimate points of concern....but just the straight up clueless asshats....
the comparators of one to another that cant even keep the simplest of machines alive or will not stray too far from home with a 30 year old truck.....have the brass to suggest this unknown is worse or whatever...and it is an unknown...
its shocking to me. the brutal ignorance.
my 14 year old son loves the tesla...hates the mustang......not because he knows who elon musk is.....not because its eco whatever.....but because he thinks its cool and if it can meet the reported specs it would be so worth 40 k over a tiny ass ranger. its the future...kids want it....its what it is.
i tried to explain it wasnt towing 14k more then 50 miles...but i dont actually know that yet.. making me an asshat too.
so to the point.
i have a simple machine.
its dumber and more reliable and more useable then any 83-11 ranger from the factory. it has way more range and capability.
if your savvy....and do the work....can get much better gce mpg.....like 30 mpg.
so i drive a machine that is 30 years old, and will run on an array of fuels....total captain cave pig machine. for the most part all trouble shooting is done visually and with a pair of pliers...
and probably none of these guys talking shit about the tesla truck would be able to fix a simple issue on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere on a 70's technology so simple a caveman can do it machine....just like the tesla.
that is my only personal transport at this time....
you would think i hate modern machines..
yet i cant wait for these electric vehicles.....mostly because i want to build a buggy with turntable steering....but i digress...
that realy is hysterical.
