Voodoo Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) The Durango looks like an econobox suv wanna be...the Tesla not much better. Chick-mobiles the both IMO. It begs the question if Dodge engineers drink bud light for the status. I think I'd rather have the Tesla personally if I had to, but I already have ICE vehicles as backup. If it weren't for the subsidies and the "forcing it down people's throats" I think they hate on wouldn't be so fierce. I don't care if the EV kills more salmon or creates more child labor than a Duramax or visa versa either.

Snake Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I wouldn't mind EVs in the least, but as I said earlier, you have to live the lifestyle. Remember back in the day when you got a new set of wheels... one of the first things you heard was "pop the hood!" There was a grand opening of a new store/gas station here a while back. At the same time the next town over (a liberal bastion, think San Fran but a small town) had flashing signs extolling the virtue of 2 new superchargers in town. What a dichotomy I thought...

I’m sure it’s completely possible. The first time I ever went to New England dragway I got lined up with some civic hatch ugly box looking thing every panel a different color annoying fart cannon the works and ya guy smoked me ran a 10 something. I talked with the kid after it was a b18? swap junkyard turbo set up he did himself. Embarrassing for me 😂 but gained a sliver of respect for the four bangers after that.

Not greg b Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Boosted boys just set the Tesla 1/4 mile record. They ran a 8.71 @ 158 mph with a hacked up plaid, with a thin sheet metal body and a 77 pound midget driving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I'd take a Tesla for an around-town car that can blast into tight merge spots with instant squirt from the go pedal. I'll keep my 6.6L gas truck for the towing and long haul. Best of both worlds. To make a car beat a Plaid at the quarter mile strip, you have to tune the thing to high heaven and make it a nearly undriveable POS. Plaid will loaf along comfortably all day. I LOVE internal combustion but must admit the electric rockets are kinda neato. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Jackson Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I've got to say that EV's are pretty balsy, even the shitbox ones. I bought a 22 Bolt for our lot and it's actually pretty fun to drive even tho you look gay driving it. Fucking thing is snappy as shit. Breaks loose on damp roads nailing it at 20 mph.

You must have 4 Yamaha's on the trailer which would cause the truck to struggle for traction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
