@rauhbein1 ..notfalls drei aufbewahren. Damit man für alle Zeit nicht verzichten muss

It's just another of the developments that make me thankful I wasn't born any later than I was.

I don’t know, you sound like our counterparts from a 120 years ago saying those gas buggies just don’t do it. It’s all about the horses struggling to pull the wagon out of the mud, their hooves slipping in the mud as they try to free the wagon, and the noise they make.

Give the EVs a chance they’re only getting started. The cars of the early 1900’s weren’t all that much for getting stuck either!

PHEV's still have gas engines

@bootboi

I used to have a Mitsubishi phev

@truckstuckdave Totally agree!

I agree with shoesandsocs amongst others. I do understand that many of you will miss the roaring engine, but wheels will spin, and you still need to push the pedals. I also see that there is some misunderstanding regarding how far the electric cars will run. Especially during winter. During the last year 82% of new car sale was electric in Norway, and still rising. Sorry guys! The electric vehicles will come. Most of them sold today has a range up to 500-600 km. (370 miles) Battery decrease during winter will be approximately 15-20 %. depending how hush the temperature are. The cars who are in production today are steadily increasing up towards 1000 km. (600 miles) And believe me. They do not shut down if you got them stuck.

Sign or sticker I should put on my truck.
DO NOT DELAY THIS VEHICLE. ITS OWNER PAYS TAXES TO BANKROLL ELECTRIC VEHICLE SUBSIDIES AND TAX BREAKS.

i actually got me an electric dirtbike this summer and been driving it a lot. of course i do miss the sound and the smell of a combustion engine but the fact it is almost silent opens up many new oportunities. biggest advantage is i can now also enjoy places i would never dared to get stuck at cause there where houses or hiking paths nearby in hearing range.
also another advantage i didn't even think about is that since the engine is silent you can hear the actual sound of the tire spinning way better which makes it hot as well
here is a short clip of it so you can hear what it's like

but of course it would never fully replace my "real" bikes. i would need both worlds heh

@Kevin that true electric car or bike you can stuck without disturbing other or attract other to look what happen. no noise but vibration still the same.

[stuckboy]

without these enginesounds ???
No thanks, electric will do nothing to me

[rauhbein1]

Bei den elktr. Bikes hört man(n) leider nicht mehr, wie der Motor am kämpfen ist und es ist ja auch eine Frage der Batterie-Reichweite. Bei Wühlaktionen im Gelände ist der Energieverbrauch bestimmt höher und die Aktionszeit kürzner, oder?

[stuckboy]

@rauhbein1 das auch, ja.
Aber mir fehlt der Aufregfaktor zum Geräusch und die schreienden reifen.
Nee, e-stuck ist überhaupt nichts

i definitely couldn't live without the real engine sound either. but if you live in a high populated area it can be nice knowing you can go on multiple rounds cause no one will notice heh

ich war bisher meistens 2-3 stunden unterwegs. also für mich völlig ausreichend um lange spaß zu haben

[rauhbein1]

Ja, in 2 3 Std. kann man(n) schon einiges erleben und öfters spritzen. Wenn man richtig aufgegeilt ist, bestimmt kein Problem

[Kevin]

@rauhbein1 ohja bin oft so erschöpft nachhause gekommen mit nem muskelkater am schwanz heh

Don't some electric vehicles come with sound generators?
