This would be great for the recreational vehicle forums. A new user will invariably ask the question "can I tow this with my......". Regardless of how small the trailer and how big the tow vehicle, the lurkers always say no.

Not a great value if looking at dollars vs boost or HP gain but could have a reasonable market if street prices significantly lower than retail. Battery pack is what makes this work but has the downside of added weight and loss of space.

The pic above is a couple of years old. I have a visor over the radio and I sealed the lip of the visor with RTV. I've been through some serious storms and the radio stays dry.

I had bought a double din kit that included a cover so I could use a non weatherproof radio and have a lot more and cheaper options. Wound up putting in a Pioneer AVH4800BS. Good sound and has a bunch of features.

I had used a peel and stick type pseudo carbon fiber to cover an aluminum panel that looked decent and was durable. Forgot where I got it but it was only about 20 bucks.

I burnt out a brake switch already trying to add an electrical mod....

It's a "brake" switch, it's supposed to "break"

Quote from Red Rocker

Called the dealer that I bought it from yesterday in Ft. Myers FL and was told to bring it in today. The girl writing up the order tried to charge me as if it were a repair. After 25min we finally came to the understanding that this is a warranty issue. At that point she said "well we are really backed up and might be able to get to it at the end of next week so why don't you give us a call then". Also that the manager couldn't find the code and they needed to do a full diagnostic. I knew this dealer has bad reviews on their service deptartment but was willing to give them a chance. Nope not any more! Thankfully we have another dealer close by in Punta Gorda so I drove it straight there. They were professional, knew the problem and made an appointment for early next week to fix the sensor. The only reason I didn't buy my SS from them in the first place is that their inventory sits outside.

I bought my at same dealer and had issues with them also in past. Been taking it to Destination Powersports in Punta Gorda that is a great dealer to work with. I was up there last week to get a code cleared and they did it in a few minutes, for free.

They were using Hydrogen all the way back in 1937

There's a lot of misinformation online where Electric vehicles seem to be treated as some bad green initiative and data gets spun to support that.

The majority of our powerplants do not use coal. 39% of our power was coal generated in 2014 and it has dropped each year to about 25% in 2019. 20% is Nuke, 36% natural gas and about 18% renewables. EV batteries are not like golf carts, they are VERY durable and very well protected as to cooling and charge cycles. I saw an article from a GM VP in 2017 where he stated that there were over 100,000 Volts on the road and there had not been one legitimate pack failure.

Charging real estate---almost none needed. Picture current parking spots at convenience stores/gas stations with a charging station in front of each. Nothing more than a pole, a J1772 universal plug/cord and a credit card reader.

I've owned a 2nd gen Volt for 3 years and I had the most highly modified (my own designs) Gem car for a decade prior to that ( 4 seat, street legal and would go 60 mph). Electrics are very viable but we need to get away from the divisive political aspect as they are a positive for all inasmuch as they reduce foreign oil dependence regardless of which party in office. The growth has been slow, which is good as the concerns raised, such as stations, waiting, power plant shortfalls, etc would be an issue if suddenly 20% of the cars on the road were electric instead of 2%. We need fossil fuel cars to remain around for a long time for things to be copacetic.

COMPARISION OLD VS NEW

"Ahhhhhh! Internal Combustion forever!"--I can relate as I just finished prepping for a colonoscopy later today.

Seriously though, the 2% number will increase dramatically over the next decade. Two things that have been holding back EVs are price and lack of a complete and visible charging infrastructure. Both are improving. Battery tech continues to get more efficient at less cost each year which will continue to improve competitive pricing of EVs. There are already a LOT of charging stations out there now but more are needed and they must be more convenient and visible.

Only supercharger I ever had was first wife with a credit card. Only pussies need boost.

He may have a turbo but his username conjures up some good wishful thinking..

Tesla Sling - all electric, instant torque, better range than current gas model, 0 to 60 in minus 3 seconds and a different kind of Super Charge.

If you're retired, get a cheap place in Florida for the winter like a zillion other people do. Bring Sling!

Storage Galore....any relation?

You definitely want a top, regardless of brand. I drove Sling to Maggie Valley from Ft. Myers FL in 2015 without a top and was miserable between being wet, melting from heat and sunburn. Got a U.P. top (now Fab Factory) which I don't think is even still available (see link) and drove up to MV again in 2016 and it was a hundred times better..Cooler, no sunburn and less wet.

Yup, they're standard base rims. 2015 was first base, 2016 was 2nd base and 2017 was 3rd base...They all will do a shortstop unless you're going home.

Not even going to get a life sentence, only 378 years
