We go for a little off-road adventure in my Tesla powered Land Rover Defender. There's mud, river crossings, a 0-60 test and some glorious weather and views. All in all a good day out in Mid Wales.

That was really enjoyable. I admire you for taking your prized possesion and letting it show what its capable of and whats it was built for. Im sure the original fitters who assembled this may be long gone, but would be chuffed to see its reinvention as a modern EV. If your a reader and like Land Rovers , Id recommend a book called 'Earth My Friend' by Peter Townsend (ex Battle Of Britain ace, was engaged to Princess Margaret, features in The Crown tv series) . He took off in a Land Rover and drove around the world solo in the 50s, amazing story of man and machine and remote regions of the world only a land rover could reach.

Range - the question no one ever asks when it’s about ICE cars.

2 жыл бұрын

@@energiewender143 In all fairness, range is _very_ much on my mind when I plan a trip through the remote corners of Namibia, where I live, and drive an ICE Toyota Land Cruiser. Given how hard it is to recharge an EV across large swathes of this country, range considerations need to be at the forefront of any overland journey.

@dwerg85 2 жыл бұрын

@@energiewender143 Yes they do... That's what MPG is all about. Range. But with gas you can also just throw a jerry can in the back of your jeep and you have something for when you forget to look at the fuel gauge. Can't do that with electric. Coupled with charging stations being harder to find it's not surprising that range anxiety is still a thing. When we get there people will stop fretting about it.

Wow this was awesome. Can you please help JLR electrify the New Defender? 🙂 It's shame they missed the boat on that. Your Defender videos so clearly demonstrate that a BEV is actually the superior option for off roading than ICE vehicles. No snorkel needed for wading, no dust filters for air intake, torque instantly available, no noise and soot spoiling the landscape, no fuzzing about with low and high range, dual shifters, etc. Keep up the good work!.

I was also surprised by the augmented downhill braking as well, that was brilliant. By fitting that kit it made a great old fourby much, much better, improving its off-road capability.

Lovely work, both on the vehicle and video production. I'm not sure why, maybe it's KZfaq's compression doing funny things to edges, or just that I'm not used to seeing you in such bright sunshine, but in some shots of you driving against the fields and houses, I had the feeling of a greenscreen shot. It could also have been because your sound quality is quite impressive for being in a car at speed with open sides and a soft top.
