Huge torque. Quiet operation. Independent and precise wheel control. Don't need to rev them up to get up a slope.

I'm a serving cavalry officer. I do this professionally. What's your qualification?

None of that matters if you don't have power.

What a cop-out. You were beaten and you know it.

Beaten? Do you think we're having some sort of pissing contest here? Go to Facebook if that's your goal. I stated from the beginning this issue is that the batteries cannot provide power long enough to sustain off-road trips or long distance towing. You'd know that if you actually read the comments instead of worrying about besting me.

Why aren't you replacing all of the ICE vehicles right now? What happened is I pointed out the obvious EV flaw and you completed avoided it by discussing other irrelevant issues, like high torque. Try some hubris. Being in the military certainly doesn't negate ineptness these days.

Not the person you originally replied to.
