I love to hear talk like this especially if a big company like Merc is looking to the future for bigger motors and bigger HP. So much for getting rid of fossil fuels and jumping on the electric vehicle bandwagon!!! That's a freakn joke!!
I recently had an opportunity to ride in/drive a Tesla. Wasit fun yes. Did it have awesome acceleration yes. Was it a techy's dream with its HUGE iPad looking screen wit mapping and everything you can find on your laptop.
BUT, the fella that owned it was later headed to north of Raleigh, NC later that day and we were in clemson, SC. So he has to set his destination in the computer and it told him where he had to drive first in Greenville to charge the car then map out his trip to areas with electric service for HIS vehicle. Yeah right!!!
He originally came up from florida and what should have been a hair under 10 hours took him well over 12 hours with points out of his way just to charge the dam car.
No Thanks!!
