Those Guys are nuts.

Just found it interesting they are also locals.


I have had several Grand Cherokees, Wagoneer's, Jeep Comando's, FJ - 40, International Scout, and still have a J 10 Honcho.
I even stuffed a Pontiac 462 in one of the Commando's.
Currently looking for a "decent and fairly priced' Wrangler for my granddaughter.
Yeah not going to take my 3000 mile Y off road. Grind Hard bought the car as a total/ salvage . I would take my Cummins powered 4x4 Ram off road first.

I just got my new company car, the old diesel had run through its contract and the new one is an EV. A Skoda Enyak, probably not available in the US. Its a small SUV.

Anyyway, aside from feeling I'm driving a four wheel tablet / smartphone, as far as the controls., it drives really nice. I'm still discovering how longer trips are going to work out with the recharging but so far I do like it. Electric is nice to drrive, yeap its boring but for a daily driver thats ok, my previous diesel was a bore as well.

Correct, Skoda doesn't sell in the US. Europe has a lot more to choose from than what we've seen here so far. I looked up the Enyaq online, it's not a bad looking car as far as EVs go and it has pretty good range (advertised as 550km or 340 miles.)

Is that all lights above the license plate? (high beams or fog lights?)


Not bad looking.

I have the larger battery size on mine and when fully charged it had a range of 300 miles this morning. After a 137 mile trip trying to drive at 85 mph it had 98 miles of range left.
It was around 57 F degrees today.

That is my first experience with it, I've had it for 4 days now. In the winter I'm sure its at least 20% less. Not too big of an issue for me as the infrastructure for recharging is pretty good in my country and about 99% of my round trips is less than 75 miles.
