    Choking?

    Rivian isn't behind in production?
    Rivian isn't reporting a $4 billion loss?
    Rivian isn't laying off staff?
    Rivian isn't claiming parts shortages?

    Yup. It’s the easiest way to make a locomotive go.
    Some are also diesel / electric that can run on electrified lines or not.

    And some are entirely electric.


    Fun fact, the most powerful rail locomotives in service today are fully electric.

    Didn’t know that.

    I’m sure they have monstrous amounts of torque.

    Pretty cool actually. Trains would be a perfect candidate for hydrogen fuel cells powered motors.

    By your logic or rather the lack thereof my Tacoma is electric too.

    The gas engine is turning an alternator after all.

    Diesel fuel.

    Without that nothing is moving.

    How loud does the train get? Is it something you hear randomly throughout the day or is it a constant?

    All I could find is “significantly lighter” and “2 tons less” on a commercial vehicle that they don’t disclose the weight of.

    Being deliberately obtuse doesn't prove your point.

    Just proves everyone else here calling you a troll is correct.

    This is basic but the heaviest part is the aluminum diffusers. The membranes are thin and light.

    They can call me a troll, they have never called me wrong when I disprove their guesses with facts.

    Here I show you you're incorrect but not man enough to admit it. I thought Tacoma owners were better than that.
