Have you seen the Bollinger trials? https://youtu.be/W7TK6WhU_l4?t=379 https://youtu.be/W7TK6WhU_l4?t=379 Militaries are also looking very keenly towards EV because it lets you crawl silently over ground, where in a diesel you need to rev it up and get some momentum going. > Anyway, there's off road and there's off road. Saying as someone who professionally operates genuinely off-road - I can't wait.

As someone who was a professionally employed explorer for 10 years until a couple of years back, who drove very capable off road vehicles then and now, I cannot wait for a little bit of maturity in that market. Id love to be able to roll through some of those areas without having to roar a diesel. A motor on each wheel means no lockers. I'm mainly just concerned about undercarriage submersion at this point - I can put my current vehicle through 1m+ of still water comfortably. Can I do that with the new electric stuff? Also, range anxiety.
