@PNS a $2000 1991 Jeep Wrangler can ascend that climb

> as a bonus, you'll save yourself $145K and not look like a faggot
@PNS @haberdasher all these 'truck' ev's are just a car, a big heavy rc car and its ridiculous to think they are efficient or good at what they claim they can do
@dictatordave @PNS @haberdasher Still waiting for electric motor gas powered... Huge torque and power when you need it, instantly, and less weight from smaller battery and engine. Pipedream still but hopefully within a decade if we don't have faster collapse than expected.
@BowsacNoodle @dictatordave @PNS @haberdasher the Chinese are already here
The BYD Auto Yangwang U8 (designed by the German who used to be the head designer at Alfa Romeo, Audi, & Lamborghini) is about the same price as a cyber truck but, despite being made by the Chinx, it's much more capable

It's got a 2L turbo gas engine under the hood to charge the 4 independent 220kW (295hp ea) electric motors.
That's 1180 horsepower
It's got a 19.8gal tank and claims a maximum range of 620mi (probably closer to 400 imho)
It's got a speed governor set to 124.

@elftummy @PNS @dictatordave @haberdasher I want something like this built for regular people. I don't need my car to ford water or whatever. Just make it a bit peppier with better mpg but not cost 50k.
@BowsacNoodle @elftummy @PNS @haberdasher byd's flagship ev just burst into flames on the streets in china
i'm not impressed
and whats the price tag 200k?
how detatched from reality are ev fags?
@BowsacNoodle @PNS @elftummy @haberdasher i imagine every now and then when those insectoid chinks have a independent thought its about how death would be preferable to living in china
