Electric vs Diesel off road challenge.
101,194
Published 2022-11-25
My Tesla powered green Defender has all stock suspension apart from Terrafirma Monotube shocks and runs on BF Goodrich T/A tyres.
The Spectre Defender has a 2" Terrafirma TF234 lift kit, running on Renegade Radar M/T tyres.
Both electric Defenders have 100kWh battery packs with mid mounted Tesla motors producing 450hp and lots of torque. There's 3 LSDs to put the power to where it needs to be, one in each axle and one centrally in the motor. All the electrics are sealed so water crossings are not a problem.

As an American, its really a pleasure to see how the culture of off-roading is in the U.K. Its nice to cut through all the stigmas and stereotypes. Thanks for sharing
-
I am not a an offroader but found this video scarily brilliant to watch
-
This is the best approach converting people to EV for the stubborn digging there heals in it secretly opens a few eyes.
-

I'm just half way through the video and I paused to say that this one wins the internet for today... been driving a deisel twincab Isuzu 4x4 for sometime and that trooper put a smile on my face

I think Land Rover have definitely missed a trick in not talking to you Richard. They have spent billions developing the new Defender model, with only one PHEV variant that is a) too expensive and b) too posh for the people who really need them. The quality of engineering in your vehicles is world class, and you are recycling old Defenders and electric components to produce a very desirable and usable vehicle. I love the way that the regenerative braking turns the motor into a stepper motor giving infinite control. Great video Richard 👍🏴😎

Excellent. You guys are the hippies. The trendsetters, trail blazers in improving tweaking electric vehicles become formidable off-roaders.

I must admit. I'm liking the spectre spec defender. A lot 👍

good to know that classic offroad can go-green but still with utility function

So smooth and "available on demand" torque delivery on those electrics!
