The Changli Is Going Racing And Beyond-December 2024

Attention, everyone, attention! I am about to embark on a journey, a journey in a colossal Ford F-250 Tremor that will be carrying me, my r, my — the cheapest new EV in the world — and a dream.

Well, maybe two dreams, because I’m taking the Changli to the racetrack and then on to , where, I hope, it will get a full to reveal Changli’s secrets of How It’s So Damn Cheap.

The race is a orth Carolina, out in the western part of the state. The M4theM crew was nice enough to reach out to me and offer a slot in their big track day, where I’ll get to really put the Changli through its paces on the 0.44-mile course.

It’s a competition, and I’m pretty confident the Changli will do incredibly. Not only is it guaranteed to be lighter than anything else out there, it’s got that 1.1 HP monster of a motor tucked under the rear floor.

That’s an entire horse and a horse fetus worth of power, people! Finally, no more holding back as I drive; on the track I’ll be able to really unleash the raw, humid, lurid power of those five 12-volt batteries under my ass.

Look the fuck out.

I hope I don’t roll it, also. Because I might, and I don’t want to.

Since the , I’ll be using this massive F-250 Tremor to get around, and, even better, this is a great way to test the factory-option ramp setup.

So far, the Tremor’s ramps work great, though it feels pretty nervy driving up into the truck bed.

After the race, as I’ll already be west a bit, I’ll shoot north through Kentucky and Ohio and the state of Franklin or whatever, eventually getting to Detroit and Munro.

Maybe I’ll use the Changli to fight some crimes along the way. Just a wandering stranger, with a truck and a ridiculous Chinese old-man’s microcar, not looking for trouble, but somehow always finding it.

Dammit, I wish I had a chimp sidekick or something.

I’m taking to the open road, friends, so if any of you see me on that lonesome highway, honk and wave! If I’m not too tired/crazed and you can somehow manage to socially distance/resist the urge to hug, I’m happy to pull over and let you check out the Changli!
