“Enjoy the mortgage payment that comes with it.”

If it has a toilet and water works, like a small sailboat, it would (maybe) qualify for a home mortgage.

TBH a friend of mine took his car to the shop and the loaner was a Hummer, he let me drive it and I have to admit that sucker had a lot of blind spots.

Simple solution to that: put the passenger in the gun turret in the back, with headphones, to guide you in perpendicular back-up parking. Heh.

I suspect “off road” for most of these vehicles will be mall parking lots.

The way that government has misused funds targeted for highways, all roads are now considered "off road".

when that source goes down, and it will go down, how do you implement any plan b to do anything?

You are correct. I grew up in New England with an oil furnace for heat, with radiators. If the power went out, the furnace wouldn't turn on. We had a gas stove and a kerosene heater as a backup.

I agree, as someone who has Rotopax mounts on both my vehicles and has had them save my bacon. I can see someone out in the bush with a trickle solar charger camping for a week to have enough to drive out.

This might be good for occasional trail users who don’t cruise far from home. Most of the guys I wheel with are within an hour drive of their house and don’t carry extra gas.
The other problem is it’s weight. A lot of the time power does not help you if you’re too heavy. The ‘most capable’ offroaders are usually light. Depends on what sort of wheeling you do though.

All these new EV’s are equipped with tracking devises.
