Electric Muscle Car = oxymoron

[HWDan]

As much as I love the sound of a badass engine and exhaust. I care far more about legitimate performance.

That will have to be the selling point to me. And it can’t be close to gasoline, it has to be dramatically faster

Knowing Dodge, it's a good bet they'll add some simulated 'noise', inside and out.

Ughh I’m not down for the simulated noise. That would piss me off

I'm no fan of EV cars but I have to say I am curious to see what this will look like and the performance it will pump out.

In the 2nd trailer Tim Kuniskis pulls the car cover back and you catch a glimpse of the front bumper.

It's a Mustang

Well it is orange so there's that

I was looking at the curve on the lower grill and it resembles a Mustang

 

[Mean Cat]

Or is it red, hell I can't tell, pull the damn cover off.

Thanks Stormtrooper, good info,

You're welcome. Somewhere in your generator paperwork there should be a load/fuel use sheet based on usage/percent load. You can calculate your fuel usage at full load per day and then figure how many days coverage you want. It's good to go over by about 20%.

Congrats on getting a Generac

And no possibility of having a non-fossil fuel infrastructure to handle all the "charging stations" that need to be built in that timeframe.

Lots of nuke plants will be the only way to go all electric and non-fossil.

Not to mention the load planning and retrofit that will have to be done for every community to deal with that increased load.

And all those new copper cables......where the F do these people think that comes from???

Gonna be digging up the ground for more copper.

Damn pixie-dust will make it happen.

Anybody guess how much electricity goes into making copper from ore?

A load?

Hell......I was just thinking about all the diesel fuel needed for the earth moving equipment to dig it all up....and transport it....and then transport it again to the wholesaler.....and then again to the electric company...and then again to the field for install......

 

[Stormtrooper1320]

Oh.....and then all the pine trees that will have to be cut down for pole replacement to larger poles to hold the extra weight of the extra cables that will need to be installed.

I doubt it's even related to the prototype. Electric cars don't need a massive grille/opening for a radiator. And for EVs it's all about lower drag (yes even for a muscle variant). Bad air slows u down/steals power. Be prepared for a MuscleEgg(tm).

eventually, all of those transport and digging devices will be electric too....

Planes eventually (tho that's far off for now)

The funniest thing about the video is how Dodge is (painfully) trying to EXPLAIN this move...It was a tad pathetic imo...like "why are we doing this?"..and the best part was their attempt at saying their KEY demographic -right now- are phone-idolizing millennials. lmao! And that THAT group will be buying 900hp electric cars en-masse....wow. yeah. no.

if dodge is betting the farm on this I hope they have many other farms to fall back on!

I supervise a lot of Millenials and many of them don't own -any- cars. they are big on rideshare and are NOT a car-loving generation (on average). It's a-b for most of them....the 20-30-year-olds that do own are mostly econ boxes, hybrids, electric, etc.

dodge is conflating EV preference with wanting MUSCLE EV. Wow is that a leap! I highly doubt that group will come in droves. they better count on gen-x to save the day for them. but many Gen Xers (me included) were raised on 60s muscle (80s blew chunks) and not big fans of the EV wave (at least for performance)...

Then again, I could be all wet.

Wouldn't be the 1st time!

I'll probably be dead.....or just not care...by the time earth moving equipment is battery powered.

Aw hell it will just come full circle😁
