"Electric Chevy S-10 Dominates Off-Road Race with Tesla Power"
Keith and Melissa Silva's Tesla-powered Chevrolet S-10 truck, dubbed the TesTen, successfully completed the King of the Hammers off-road race, showcasing the potential of electric vehicles in extreme off-road competitions. The retrofitted truck, equipped with an 85 kWh battery pack and 416 horsepower electric motor, overcame challenges such as limited charging options and technical glitches to finish the desert lap, marking a significant milestone in electric off-roading. The Silvas aim to further improve the TesTen's performance by incorporating multiple pre-charged batteries for extended range, potentially paving the way for a new class of electric off-road racing.
