I’m honestly surprised it even has a tow hitch. Actually using it is probably another warranty violation though.
Apparently Teslas are fairly decent for towing stuff. I know someone who got a Model S because it was rated for a higher tow weight than other BEVs at the time.
Mind you, the Cybertruck is probably worse at towing. At least it wouldn’t surprise me given how it’s already worse at everything else.
Took about 23 hours to drive from Des Moines to Palm Beach in a Subaru. That dumpster must have spent more than half the trip charging.
Should have just put a generator in the bed. Charge while driving non stop. Works for my boat.
Sounds like you’ve just designed the Hammerhead Eagle I-Thrust, the best electric car … In the world.
I can’t find a good clip of the boys putting the ludicrous generator in the back, but you can see it in this video.
Next thing you know, we’ll be putting the generator inside the hood and shrinking the battery to make room.
Something like the Chevy Volt will end up being the future. Except the generator will be removable and replacable to handle different fuels. If not on the fly, then as basic options at purchase.
A diesel locomotive is the future?
Pretty much, it’s the most efficient land transport so far. The only issue is scaling, and also most people don’t need an ICE engine of any sort the majority of the time. Thus, making them optional and replacable is the solution to scaling, and fuel variety.
It’s pretty versatile and gets around the range anxiety problem. Not as efficient Vs conventional ice for high speed cruising but great for most other applications.
Most people don’t get to high speed cruise any more. Our highways are too packed. Even when they’re not, there’s always those two guys that have to drive side by side for 30 miles just to get in everyone’s way.
We also have plenty of people who don’t understand how to drive on a highway. In this country we’re only permitted to pass on one side, compounding the problem.
I feel that there isn’t enough diversity in the vehicle types. We have plenty of EV that are 1-2t, essentially a conventional sedan. It’s not a good fit with li-ion. We need lightweight vehicles and the series hybrid bridges the gap while we wait for high density batteries.
