So when I floor it, where do all my organs go ? And do I have to stop it just as fast to get them back in place ? ? I'm in, just curious...

I don't have any problems with electric equipment. Big fan actually. In fact, some of my flashlights perform really well. And when I need batteries for those lights, I fire up my internal combustion truck and off I go to purchase batteries.

Is that the true 0 - 60 time or is that with the 1-foot roll out.
Tesla Plaid claimed 1.98 sec, but without the roll out, it's actually 2.28 sec.
Still impressive, either way.

I suddenly remembered that I do have a Genuine Ford battery powered KEY FOB !!!! Does that count ???
Also, without a Genuine Ford Motorcraft BATTERY...my IC powered Ranger will not start

Eeeh.. it is and it isn't. Mostly isn't IMO.. thanks to childhood hobbies.

My formative years were when the R/C world was making the leap from nitro to brushless for all out speed.. so I got to see first hand the staggering difference between combustion & its quieter alternative.. especially when coupled with lithium batteries.

The first time I saw the electric version of my first nitro monster truck do a standing backflip.. I knew immideately that I was all done paying 30$ a gallon for fuel lol.

No matter how good it sounding shifting into 2nd gear at 30k rpm or how good it made the entire neighborhood smell.. it only took that one demonstration to realize that my "big block" nitro mill would never compete with an electric motor half it's size.
