According to the undisputed experts, Zac and Jesse the utube feltchers. They probably sport Coexist bumpers stickers also, just not as stained as yours from the pollution being belched from the 8.1s tailpipe immediatly below.

LMAO 8.1 now there is some undisputed science!! Some real experts right there!

Come on 8.1. Get rid of your 8.1. In fact, have it crushed so no other RV'er can buy it and spew out loads of emissions. Buy a Tesla and a tent trailer or just a tent and go camping if that's what you believe will save the world. Better yet, buy a OTR Tesla Semi. You said they will be out in less than 4 months and they will be able to tow 621 miles/ charge according to Tusk.

I don't want to speak for 8.1 however he seems excited about coming new technology where yourself, grit and a few others inherently dislike anything that might be something other than burning petroleum into the atmosphere to get down the road.

Aaaaaa What???? I own an electric car!!! Unlike 8.1 who owns the biggest of the big blocks EVER produced and put into a pick truck. I also own a diesel pickup to tow my trailer and it pulls down about 20 MPG solo.

I know the limitations of electric propulsion. Does it work great for a little tiny car to move my ol lady to work? Yep and gets about 90 MPG doing it. Does it work great for motorcycles and school buses and garbage trucks and local buses? Yep......works great......but expensive AF and takes a lot of energy we don't have out of the grid.

When an electric bike costs 8 grand that's expensive for anybody. When the battery for my little electric car costs 10 grand; that's expensive for anybody. And mine cr@pped out 2 times in 6 years. If it wasn't for warrantee I would be out 20 grand on top of what I paid for my car. And guess what? Her car has been a the dealer since March 1st. The ol lady says she is going to lemon law it this week because they told use it won't be fixed until Oct now. My wife says it's gone after we get it back if the lemon law doesn't work. I hope I can talk her out of it because it's a nice car.

So no, I don't "inherently dislike anything that might be something other than burning petroleum into the atmosphere to get down the road."

I practice what I preach and know the problems and the pluses of electric vehicles. I've even shown you the math that shows why LI batteries suck for something like a Semi that uses big energy. Remember the energy density I talked about?

Remember you and 8.1 say that we will now have a Semi be the end of this year.

You know what thread I'm going to be on 1/1/2023? :B
