snagged in outlet 3 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I saw it while I was riding the trail. Apparently it’s the university of Michigan’s solar car. It made it about 1/5 the way up the hill out the Missouri River bottoms. Then two guys jumped out and pushed up the hill. 😆 Quillback, dpitt and Johnsfolly 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmidwest Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 We are at the fringe of solar efficiency in this neck of the woods. And, Electrick cars are a thing of the past. snagged in outlet 3 1 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.

Haven't we been seeing these types of vehicles since the 70's? They still don't seem to do well long term or on cloudy days. What I want to see is a combustion engine that runs on the methane from cow farts🤣. Just imagine a car pulling its own fuel in a cow trailer with two steers with inline gas tubes to the cars engine. Just need to buy another bale or two for those long trips😉. If you end up stranded, you can always eat one of the "fuel tanks". snagged in outlet 3, Daryk Campbell Sr and Quillback 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillback Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 All of a sudden I am seeing Tesla trucks here and there. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and this beholder thinks they are one ugly vehicle.

The body panels aren’t even straight. That thing has more waves than a beauty pageant. No thanks. Quillback 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snagged in outlet 3 Posted July 2 Author Share Posted July 2 I know several people who bought teslas and got rid of them. Build and fit quality is horrible. Repairs are a crap shoot. It might be a while before they have your parts. That’s if you are in an area that has someone who can work on it. Range anxiety and recharging absolutely suck!

Not to mention, they run on batteries.... Mitch f 1 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.
