@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.
@PNS @dictatordave @haberdasher >1,000 horsepower plug-in hybrid Ferrari
@PNS @BowsacNoodle @haberdasher i will agree all day long that electric motor assisted hyper cars are where that avenue is going, but it will never be a ubiquitous or reliable transport method, never

you could scale it down and make ev's more like the old k cars, that would make them more appealing, and their cost has to go down, like to the $5k or less range, not this 100k bullshit

@dictatordave @BowsacNoodle @haberdasher

I thought it could've been quicker to 60 but that's me, a pedestrian doing the thinking.

@dictatordave @PNS @BowsacNoodle @haberdasher tbh if you were 100% committed to it i think a sodium battery powered, 100-120 mile range, overweight, 65 mph tops commuter pod would be p doable at a reasonable price and weight

really the solution to mass transit is trains but we can't have those due to Socioeconomic Factors (tm)
@Paultron @PNS @BowsacNoodle @haberdasher yea i just dont see ev's in their current format being realistic and i imagine we'll talk about it in 10 years how it was hilarious watching a bunch of tards jump to a new tech that amounted to a zip drive in the grand scheme of things
@dictatordave @PNS @haberdasher Nissan put out an electric drive gas generator car in Japan. It was okay, but Nissan has been bad in a lot of ways lately. Dodge Ramcharger will be probably 100k for an "ev that runs on gas" with a claimed 650+ mile range and insane power. TBH I just want moderate power in a smaller vehicle that doesn't cost more than my house payment.
@BowsacNoodle @PNS @haberdasher did you see toyota's latest multi fuel drive trains?
@dictatordave @PNS @haberdasher Nope, got anything cool to link? Toyota has some seriously good engineering. It's fun to say HAHA PRIUS GAYBOI but they figured out how to mesh electric and ICE very well. I know they were doing something big with their SUVs but I haven't looked in a few years.
