Electric cars?

[Garpal Gumnut]

Absolutely, the torque generated by an electric motor is enormous. The charge might only last 5 minutes if you do that but you can shred tyres all you want.

Thanks @SirRumpole .

My next question is does it have a clutch in the same position as a clutch on a motor.

I am thinking along the lines of young people at drive-ins and their reproductive capacity. Some of my fondest memories are of clutch on clutch but it was a bother.

Hahaha, and you won’t wake up the babies in the neighborhood, or disturb me as I try and watch Deadpool 2 tonight on channel 7.

I think EV's are probably duds as chick magnets.

Too quiet and smooth. The girls seem to like the low vibrations of V8's . It's probably a primal thing.

No clutch in Tesla’s, there is only 2 gears (forward and reverse hahaha)

you barely even need the brake Pedal unless it’s for an emergency stop.

Teslas are all about the 1 pedal driving. (It’s weird at first, but super awesome once you get used to it)

Being Electric Cars I presume they come with a cigar lighter.

Or does it interfere with the circuitry to divert the power to a lighter?

Electric cars can produce insane acceleration. And there is an "insane' mode on the Tesla car as well - just to really impress people.

they have the cigarette lighter slot, for power access, but don’t actually come with an actual lighter.

The Tesla Ute is actually going to have 240 volt outlets on it you can plug tools into, much better than a lighter slots.

I am very impressed @basilio .

I might look at having a Telsa makeover on the Arnage.

I'm getting very interested in Electric cars. I have a cigar lighter to plug in that will be just like a bought one.

Thanks @Value Collector

Thanks for that.

Can we start talking about power poles again ?

Imagine the efficiency, the cabinet maker can build the kitchen in the back of the ute, while the car drives to the job autonomously.
The possibilities are limitless, with a Tesla.

Electric motors make instant/full torque all the time. They're actually the best motor for towing that there is because of it... assuming the batteries can last.

Can you push a Tesla if it breaks down?
Is there a neutral?

Yes there is a neutral.

but also there is less moving parts, so the are more reliable, also Tesla’s come with free road side assistance for the life of the vehicle.

yep, that’s why all the heavy haul trains are electric (diesel motors only power generators).

The other benefit is if you tow a load up a hill, that extra weight will help you generate more charge on the way down the other side using your regen braking, rather than Burning through your brake pads.

I presume that more handy people than I could drop a Tesla battery in to the Arnage and modify it as the bloke did in the video above that @basilio posted. It was a bloody Range Rover, so I guess it's possible.

I love my Arnage.
