They're a lot more tolerable on 3-3.5x. Then again i watch everything at high speed. :crackup:They just put out one yesterday and it was about 2:45. They're doing a race from northern Maine to the Florida keys but the video was just them getting everyone to Maine. The track they moved to is about 1.5hrs from me.
LMAO! That's perfect! You watched the 'fast' version, only as long as a full-length feature film! I promise I'll never put anything out that long :)

I enjoyed the offroad trip and the use of a generator to recover some of the power back. I often wondered if it would make a difference vs the extra weight of hauling a generator and fuel. Too bad it was a sad ending. I wondered if your red Lightning ended up at Martin's Rebuilds since I have not seen many red ones out there. I was shocked that you had all that trouble in your own country to be able to buy used one. Keep up the videos

Haha! No, that's not mine over at Martin's. He's such an amazing guy. He had that unit - I think - long before my ill-fated trip.
As I discovered, the generator weight had little to no impact to my range, especially when it was tucked up at the front of the bed - and the fact that my speeds were lower. There's been a lot of tests done showing payload has far less impact on range than many think. Towing is the real range killer.
Even with all the drama of the accident, I added well over 100 miles of range to Thor's average than without it. By all accounts, that's incredibly useful.
But there's more solutions on the way - and Martin and Zachary have a LOT to do with it!
Thank you so much for the support and for watching, Jeff!

Perhaps you've never heard of tact. It's a YouTube channel, not your personal school system. You must be real fun at parties. Get to the food and get out. The rest of that meaningless friend talk is a waste of time. Many people don't share your opinion. Trucked up EV's is one of my favourite EV channels.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I do blather on occasionally, but in a nice way...
Unless I'm grumpy.
I think it's called storytelling.
Another reason why Universal Studios doesn't pump out Shorts...
I appreciate the support!
