GeezChuckie, maybe slow down a bit! No body says you have to drive an EV in Baja, and turn in your mancard!
You are so determined to try and belittle others, that you forgot to read and understand.
first of all you can't drive and charge at the same time.
I was pointing out for the benefit of those who think an EV is not fit for baja, 2 things
Range: range is now 500 miles per charge, thats a full days drive for most in Baja.
lack of charging stations: That is a legitimate point, (for now) I was merely pointing out that a workaround for that problem is pretty simple!
and you seemed to miss the point of that as well - being that even if I had to run the generator to charge the vehicle, the math works out to 100
miles per gallon. How does that compare your baja rig?

You could always build a steam engine to run a generator to recharge your Tesla truck.
Then chop down that damn palm tree to fuel your steam engine.
The added advantage is with that damn palm tree gone you’ve solved man made climate change.

Yes, cut it down because the sea will never rise high enough to kill it (for at least a thousand years, lol)!

Better yet! Tow a wind machine on a trailer....It could be over engineered with obstacle avoidance and bird baffle technologies...As long as Mrs Tesla
was moving the blades would spin,eh? Creating a perpetual motion machine....Eureka! We have done it Lloyd! The cost will have been driven into the
Ionisphere, satisfying all the snobs...DANG I'm a fooking genius....

They've had those machines for thousands of years. They're called "sailboats."

GOOD ONE John!...Cajipoo asked about MY Baja Rig? Don't have one....I have always subscribed to the "Run what ya Brung" theory...Ol Smoky, famed in
song and story, expired at about 430,000 miles....No major mods, lived a good portion of his life in Baja...at one stretch 8+ years without crossing
the US border back..Died as a working farm truck...

Ignorance is bliss - and apparently eternal!
there is a solution, but you have to want to be cured!

Within the next 5 years there will be superchargers in baja, electric vehicles will be more common
15 years ago the elderly were on flip phones and grumbling about smart phones. Now I see the elderly have adopted smart phones.
Soon, Even dinosaur motor heads (today driving noisy, smelly diesels) will be singing praise of e-vehicles.
Who wants a noisy/pollution engine when silent/clean ones are possible?
Woke!

Goat, you forget that many here do not see a truck - they see their vehicle - big loud noisy - as an extension of their Micro-p#n*s.
No way they give that up!

Actually not a new idea. The railroads have been driving around their electric powered vehicles pulling their fossil powered electric generators along
for the ride for many decades now.

Have you noticed that all the micro-p3nis diesel PU drivers all are in love with their smart phones/selfie/instagram/Facebook machines? As soon as
they see all the cool people in their cliques in FB/Instagram/Twitter are driving e-pickups that go 0 to 60 is under 3 seconds, their new p3nile
enhancer will be their 3-motor cybertruck!
How they gonna resist the p3nile enhancement of e-motor acceleration?
Woke!

we were going to build a turbine-powered land speed vehicle - with the turbine making electrical power, and driving electric motors on each wheel.
we had access to those huge ground cart EPus , but the stogy old Bonneville guys said it wasnt an electric powered vehicle, so that was the ewnd of
that idea!

And fifty years ago they were going to the moon guided by computers that didn’t have the computing power of present day cell phones. These are the
same people who did the groundwork for the technology we enjoy today. No one has been back since then. And that was after they had won WW2, the last
war worth fighting.

Maybe use molten Bonneville salt to power a steam turbine ? That might get them interested. Just pour it in and go!

Looks like at least one Mexican city has an interest. Better make sure those windows really are bulletproof.
