Electric Vehicles - Love 'em or Hate 'em?
They are the future without any doubt. If our two ICE vehicles weren't at 50k on the odometer we'd be shopping for one.

Yes they are.
Look you finally drug me in. |

Thanks!!!
I have been a long time lurker for the entertainment value. |
My late Dad, a civil engineer, used to say the concept of electric cars was great. So simple and robust, just put a motor on each wheel and if one breaks you still have three.
They are a bit more complicated than that it turns out! If I sold my current 'good' car ('91 420sel) and it brought in enough I'd sure consider an older model S. I also looked into converting my toy, an old Spitfire, to electric but there's no kit and I just don't have the will to do that custom work (assuming I could actually do it). Plus I read the diff doesn't hold up well to the extra torque . No matter what when I run a new electrical line to the garage I'm going to way oversize it for future charging. Here's a guy that dismantles cars. He's awesome. He's torn into many electric cars with good reviews. But check out how many coolant hoses the new 'Mustang' has - a tuneup nightmare! https://youtu.be/C1dQtlrI7uU And the future may still be hydrogen? Stay tuned :) |
And hello GC. Old time newbie here!

Being a technical ship repair guy that made me lol. And I am stealing this YT for another thread somewhere else. |
