electric muscle car?

isn't that an oxymoron?

 

[Sunni Man]

It's not a muscle car.
More like a large cell phone on wheels. ...

 

[Manonthestreet]

yeah everyone.......funny I might see a dozen during the day and thats on the high side

 

[rightwinger]

Performance wise, EVs have much faster acceleration
Except for the Vroom, Vroom they are a more exciting experience

Same applies to Electric Motorcycles

So expensive that haven't even figured out what the price is going to be?

EV 1972 Datsun against ICE Muscle car

Same applies to Electric Motorcycles

I've owned and ridden street and dirt motorcycles all my life.
And there's not an E-bike that comes close to matching the performance of ICE powered motorcycles except maybe a drag bike.

The Los Angeles Police department went completely electric a few years ago. The performance was so awful that the entire fleet was garaged until it could be sold, at a loss. The police went back to Crown Victorias.

Damn --- somebody needs to tell them lots of people here think electric cars don't work.

electric muscle car?

isn't that an oxymoron?

IIRC the Tesla model S goes from 0-60 in 1.9 seconds.

 

[Canon Shooter]

An EV Charger??

Man, I'm interested in that, like, not even a little bit...

 

[Sunni Man]

I've yet to see an E-bike at the motocross track.
They are basically a one trick pony.
Just good for straight line torque.

 

[Sunni Man]

EV cars have the coolness and charisma of a sewing machine or a kitchen toaster.

IIRC the Tesla model S goes from 0-60 in 1.9 seconds.

Speed limit is 55 in most places. And that's on the highways.

Guess it depends on the thrill you are looking for

electric muscle car?

isn't that an oxymoron?

Yeah, pretty much.

 

[rightwinger]

EV cars have the coolness and charisma of a sewing machine or a kitchen toaster.

If you are looking for the thrill of an annoyingly loud muffler, you are correct

But if you are looking for pin you in the back of the seat acceleration, it is hard to beat Electric

 

[Natural Citizen]

Seems like people have this notion that everyone's gonna be driving around in a Tesla. Which is humorous.

Most of the electric vehicles I've seen are just plain ugly and boring.

Much like any Hyundai you see on the road.

Driving down the road these days, cars all look the same. For the most part.
