No im being serious..
Yeah, I was thinking of Peachtree City. It's had cart usage for many years, and is popular with people living there I've heard. But it was planned that way, I think.
I guess it depends on the EV design. The ones with direct-drive motors would require designing and fabbing the suspension components to move the whole drive motor and wheel assembly away from the chassis, while allowing for the articulation that's needed. And the same, for any non-driven wheels on the vehicle, and the steering would have to be reengineered.
Seems like the older you get, the faster that shit happens . . .
I donm;t know about all of them, but for some you just push a button.
It's already being done in this town. That whole move was a cash grab by the local city. They were trying to justify using imminint domain to sieze property to build the new trails, then hike taxes to pay for it. Then like most other proposals it would be done half-assed by the highest bidder, and be used to collect more tax revenue in the form of registration that was never used for upkeep of the trails. It's like a record stuck on repeat around here, both city and county. Fortunately it's still cheap to live in the area and not overpopulated, makes it easier to ignore the stupid stuff they try to do.
Well these days thst type of stuff is often available even before a vehicle hits the showroom floor. Part of that whole SEMA thing I think. Industry partners, IE: lift manufacturers, get examples of the vehicles to do R&D on almost as soon as the first one rolls off the assembly line.
I could see the draw of not needing a generator to power stuff around camp. I'll admit that I've become spoiled by having an AC. I will not camp in a tent during GA summers when it's 80-90 degrees in the middle of the night and high humidity. I say summer, but its closer to 2/3s of the year.
Oh, no. They are all all wheel drive. Faster than a Mach-E also. Crazy fast for how heavy they are...
Not really, they are not necessarily built like a normal car. The battery of a Tesla is a structural part of the car that is glued into the unibody. Replacement runs $20k-$50k. Damaging that will greatly effect the future of a vehicle. Non Tesla vehicles vary in construction and serviceability of course, with a Ford so far individual battery modules are designed to be replaceable.

My SCX10 RC crawler has been very enlightening for that, amazing torque. My son has a G-Wagon power wheels type car. My little SCX10 can push it fairly easily.

Scratch Your EV Battery? Seemingly Minor Damage Could Make Insurance Total Your Car According To Report
Electric vehicles promise big range and technology, but new study reveals that all of this comes at the cost of repairability after accidents
Tesla EVs, Even Mildly Damaged, Are Being Written Off by Insurance Companies
Insurers are increasingly concluding that a broken Tesla is too expensive to fix.
BUT with the liability being HUGE if a damaged battery cooks off later (like that Tesla last summer 3 weeks after its accident) and it burns down a bodyshop or somebody's home... junking a new/low mile car can look pretty cheap.
Tesla Model S catches fire three weeks after going to a junkyard
A Tesla Model S caught fire after sitting in a wrecking yard for three weeks. Fire fighters put out the blaze by placing the car in a water-filled pit.
It is very interesting and with the prez's new crackdown on EV mileage it will probably only get more interesting as they try to cut weight/structure to get more miles out of them to keep that fleet average as high as the can.

For sure there are examples of individual models with unusual designs. That's not new to EV's, but the concerns can certainly be more significant. Ultimately it will be up to the repair shops to determine their willingness to train in/certify/repair them.Not really, they are not necessarily built like a normal car.

And oems to release data and programming on how to inspect/test them.
Deadbolt SCX10 II. Snagged it on sale right before the III'S came out.
