Comparison: Tesla Model 3 vs. 20 Chinese EVs That Sort Of Look Like Ford Raptors But Have 'Jeep' On Them
the Tesla Model 3, a sleek four-door electric sedan with about 258 horsepower and a range of around 220 miles.
The Fur-RAPTOR has a 1200W motor, which I think comes to aroundcan this be right?under two horsepower or so? Im not certain, but its not that much.
And this thing is cheap: $1,650 gets you one, which is why were able to get 20 and still be well within our $35,000 budget.
Wht the hell do you need to go faster than 25 MPH? You in a race?
Holy crap, look at that, a draw!

One M1A3 Abrams could run over and crush flat all the 300 Chrysler LeBarons at speed and line up for the next 300.
Nice find!!!
You don’t see many like that one.

Don’t know about the newer iron, but in RVN they seemed to get stuck all too often.
And if you want a bit of secuirty, the twin 40mm Duster was my choice!
I was a minuscule part of Operation Remagen RVN, many tanks incapacitated.
The tankers claimed that a crazy gook with a tankers bar and luck could throw a track in tight jungle.
In those days the tanks were much lighter - M1A3’s are approaching 70 tons - saw a demo of some tank contest where they crushed far bigger civilian cars as part of the contest.
Twin 40mm Duster were not heavy enough or have enough power to run over anything substantial like a 300 Chrysler LeBaron.

When that sucker gets stuck, they might need two M88s to get it out!!
Handy if you have roads, bridges, frozen steppes...
Does an AVLB work with that weight?
You go first, think I’ll walk...
AVLB from wiki (FWIW):The bridge is built to be able to withstand countless crossings of vehicles as heavy as the M1A2 Abrams, which weighs in at around 70 tonnes.
You walk, I’ll ride. Thanks
M1: 60 short tons (54 t)
M1A1: 63 short tons (57 t)
M1A1 SA: 67.6 short tons (61.3 t)
M1A2 SEPv2: 71.2 short tons (64.6 t)
M1A2C: 73.6 short tons (66.8 t)

Be my guest.
70 tonnes = 77+ US short tons.
