Battery was drained from going up previous hills and even though I had the cruise set at ~80MPH, the speed slowly started to drop. I wonder how other cars would fare when pushed to their equivalent limit. I've had it at or near redline for minutes at a time going up hills, never any problems.
I've experienced the uphill on a drained battery going up to Big Bear. All these bros with their lifted trucks were not pleased, " I'm trying guys!
