who says this? you are right now no one.


electric motors have way more torque than internal combustion engines. For example, train locomotives are electric. they have a diesel generator to create power to run their electric motors.

Yet another great marketing ploy put on by Musk.

You would be amazed at what an electric golf cart can move around. Ive seen a boat yard use one to move a 32 cabin cruiser

Not true Darth, except the ones used to push bug smashers around, you, being a tanker, would be interested to know that a lot of the older tugs were built on tank chassis’s with tank engines on them

That is all horizontal pull, there is no vertical load on the vehicle. Drop 16k - 20k lbs on the arse end of that Tesla then we can talk.

Trains are EMD because electric motors can produce max torque at 0 RPMS, not because electric motors produce more torque at all.
