Hmmm, thought Workhorse was the first (or nearly so): https://electrek.co/2018/01/09/workhorse-opens-reservation-electric-pickup-truck/

We will be laughing/crying at how we do stuff now - in 100 years!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I want the equivalent of an f450 in diesel electric.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That will happen, just be patient!

Damn!

Electric vehicles work pretty well in a country as small as Denmark.

It would be a pretty short adventure, though, if you went travelling in one.

But for every day commuting, they Rock!

I might have mentioned it before ( Like 200 times!) I tested an electric Zero motorcycle.

That thing was so cool.

That electric truck claimed 400+mile range. Seems decent if at all accurate. 0-60 in 3sec too. That's quick. I'm guessing range is directly related to how one drives/accelerates with it though.

 

[MasterBlaster]

0-60 is freaking amazing!

 

[squisher]

As fast as my bike.

 

[Mellow]

Math is cool!

Madness there....

Seems like a good neighbourhood. Lol.

Welcome to my world.

I don't know how many of you ride horses at high levels.
Justin does and I muddle around with it.

This is soooooo fine.

Just sooooooooo effing fine.

[squisher]

To be clear. I'm no high level rider. Rookie at best. Horsemanship is multi-faceted. I know just enough to know I know very little.

That was pretty cool.

Goes for both of us, Justin.

You should have seen what my wife and old, now dead, Sam could do.

Unbelieveable.

We rode together in the woods 3 years ago and just to prove a point, she had him do a piaffe the whole way.

Those two were fantastic together.

Good news is, she has decided to go on with horses after losing him.

I was so afraid that it would turn her off the whole horse deal.

Saturday we'll go check out a weird mixture: Norwegian fjord horse and arabian thoroughbred.

To me, that is like mating an old Swedish Bolinder Munktell tractor ( Ask Magnus about those) with a Ferrari........................................................Weird.

But he has been trained and ridden to LA dressage levels, So I think he'll do.

Great video of horsemanship! Masters exist in all disciplines. Great share.

About the fjord horse...per wiki...The Fjord horse is strong enough for heavy work, such as plowing fields or pulling timber, yet light and agile enough to be a good riding and driving horse. They are also sure-footed in the mountains. Today, the Fjord horse is a favourite at Norwegian riding and therapeutic schools, as its generally mild temperament and small size make it suitable for children and disabled individuals. They are considered very good driving horses, and are commonly used in everything from competitions to tourist transport in Norway. They are also used as a sport horse, particularly in combined driving.

Crossed with an Arabian...sounds awesome!
