Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

It's going to be very meta when it inevitably has to put out a cyber truck.

I kind of want to get in that truck and try it out...

And make it go wee woo.

I mean... Kind of a given 😁

I wonder how many siren modes it has...

[–] thatkomputerkat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

I would hope all of them.

I've actually ridden in a fire truck, it would be awesome to ride in an electric one, probably so quiet and smooth rather than the loud rattling ICE ones.

I've driven a firetruck when my company was doing repair work on it.

I wonder if this electric one is as easy to start (no key required on old firetrucks)

I used to volunteer so ive driven a bunch, I just really want to try this electric one!
