ROFLMAO, I was just gonna say the same thing Scottie. I had one too. That electric motor will be a huge improvement over that crappy air cooled engine mine had. LOL. It was loud and couldn't get out of it's own way. I almost flipped mine over taking an off ramp. Those skinny little bias ply tires were screaming thru that turn. LOL I'm sure that newly restored one has steel belted radials on it. Or maybe they are solid rubber? Nice looking bug for sure.

You could see the ground thru my floor boards on mine. LOL. I bolted up plywood to the bottom.

It would be a bitch to keep that thing charged by me. Charging stations are very far away here. I'd have to have one in the garage and watch the gauge all the time.

Well, my Boss's Tesla is 0-60 under 3 seconds Dual motor. I believe a single motor would still run under 4 seconds and if my memory isn't terrible, and the Tesla Tractor is under 6 seconds 0-60 and that includes pulling the empty 52 foot trailer.

I really really wish to get into electric at home. For all the reasons that come with it.

Most people only think about the fuel and engine oil. But mistake all the rest of the fluids in automotive. That alone will greatly cut green house gasses with reduction of these chemicals, many of which are synthetic. Not even natural oil.

GOD DAMN!! To think having 400 foot pounds of torque at just ZERO rpm. No lag. Always the same amount of torque and doesn't vary at different RPMs.

austin86: Same here in Ohio, not common but it happens, early this week we had ice rain 😮 Oct 17, 2024 8:10:10 GMT -5 *

zila1: Sometimes we have snow on the ground by Halloween. Let's see what happens this year. I only stepped outside twice today. It's just so nice and cozy in the house. Oct 16, 2024 18:11:07 GMT -5

austin86: car was iced over this morning here in ohio too. we be in winter again Oct 16, 2024 8:15:33 GMT -5

zila1: It's a little after midnight now and the thermometer on my deck is reading 29°F. It's nippy out there. Oct 16, 2024 0:11:52 GMT -5

zila1: ShrimpBrime: My crawl space is heated too. My basement is heated real nice too. It's warm and cozy down there. I work out during the winter months down there. Oct 16, 2024 0:08:23 GMT -5

ShrimpBrime: Yep, should snap the trees into dropping the leaves now. Summer to winter in just a week. Gotta love Chicago land!

My crawl space is heated. Cause if not, cold toes all winter on the main level

zila1: I just got a freeze warning for tonight on my pc and my cell phone. I'm gonna go out and drain the outdoor faucets and put freeze covers on them. I like that little added protection. Neighbor down the street forgot last year and his pipes burst. Ugh. Oct 15, 2024 10:59:32 GMT -5

austin86: zila1 my house was rewired by a X old order Amish guy... I know the pain of having to rewire stuff all to well. Fun times ! Oct 14, 2024 12:37:11 GMT -5

austin86: zila1 Hmm ours has a humidifier on it, maybe because its 90% one and not 98%. but now that I think of it I need to drain my heater heater, we never use hot water TBH so I'm sure its not to bad Oct 14, 2024 12:36:04 GMT -5

zila1: I have Peripheral neuropathy and can't take the cold weather very well so I try to prepare my house for it as best I can. Hence all of the stepped up maintenance at this time of year. Oct 14, 2024 12:22:17 GMT -5

zila1: I do this every year in hopes of coasting thru the winter with as little problems as possible. I also have a whole house back-up generator to maintain. 24KW Generac. I love that thing. Easily powers the whole house during an outage. Ice storms can suck. Oct 14, 2024 12:19:23 GMT -5
