The Terminator's gone electric!

https://www.inverse.com/article/2676...ctric-mercedes

Has anyone else seen this?



He's come a long way from his Hummer days haha

I'm really hoping that we can start to see more things like this: where alternative fuels become appealing to a wider range of people...

I'm also very interested to see the potential for electric in the off-roading world

note to mods: sorry if this is in the wrong place


What are everyone's thoughts on this?

If electric vehicles have the range they would make great hunting vehicles. With no exhaust smell and engine noise the deer won't know it's deer season until they are getting tagged.

They should also do well at rock crawling, with the full torque on each wheel at zero RPMs.
