Yeah, i know. But i guess i was wondering what people think of it as a bike hauler. From both a looks and function perspective.

No. I don't want an electric car, but I also won't sell my Alta until a good enough replacement is available.

I wanna see the safety ratings first
No crumple zone and glass that you can't break to get out of the car in an emergency?
Yeah. No.

At a significant decrease in raw performance versus the 3 motor model.

Nah. Prob not for me...

But you are talking about a drop-in with just 70% of the peak hp and only half the torque of bone stock. That's like dropping a four banger in your 'Cuda.

Why not just use a small displacement diesel generator powering independent traction motors like a locomotive?

Electric has no appeal to me at all. Don’t really see a good reason for it.

Gobs of torque on demand from 0 rpm would be a big one.

A ton of people are anti electric and think it's a downgrade in performance for some reason. Electric powered vehicles are going to rip your head off with the hp/torque. Aren't some of you old enough to remember playing with slot cars? Those things rip so fast they fly off the track and hit nearby people or pets. I had one get caught up in the cat's tail.

Anyone have one of these growing up? Electric rips. Yes, range is not idea yet but they will get it sorted out.

A truck that can go 0-60 in 2.9 seconds with a built-in ramp for our bikes, what can you complain about?

People hate change. Even if it doesn’t affect their life one bit. Kinda like when a new podcast comes out. I think progress is good personally.

Amazing how many people give "thumbs down" on these electric posts. So many salty people stuck with an idea of outdated technology. The Teslas are running stock 11 second quarter mile times in a 7 seater configuration. This was a pipe dream even 10 years ago.

Yes the battery issues need to be addressed along with other issues encountered with any new developing technology but the blanket ignorant disapproval of electric motors is something I can't understand. The performance numbers on these machines are incredible.

Always wanted one of those. My friend from childhood recently bought a Traxxas electric 4x4 buggy, and brought it when we were camping together. That thing is insane. Instant, almost uncontrollable power, Real world 70mph. Unreal suspension. Soaked up almost anything. We broke that thing the first day. So fast! Electric is the future. He now has a kit of parts to replace damaged ones! Through torque and clever electronics, It will flip itself on to its wheels if you tip it over. Massive power. Prepare for the future, and enjoy.

This. If theres one place electric can be used, its in a truck for pulling power. sad thing is you dont get much range.

That being said trucks not having a loud v8 in it just aint right.

Sure! IF the range really would be 500mi. But also IF I had that much money, which I don't. Laughing Laughing
But hell yeah, I'll take a reliable, economical bike hauler. Wonder if they have a van in the works?

I really wish they made it just a bit uglier and I'd be all over it. But I'm not sure how they could do that.
