So you mean to say that the biggest mistake I've been making in life is that I've been shaving?

I have 2 reservations. I'm getting this no matter what with the first res. I don't tow much. Not in any field that would need to tow, or into the RV craze. If I need to tow, I can do it on my Range Rover. If need to go on a road trip, Range Rover is available as well. I am blessed to be able to afford multiple vehicles and totally understand that 350 is not good enough for some folks.

I wish it will have more range than 350...

A lot of people here saying they will wait for the 500mile version. I believe the note reference the 500 mile version would only be rear wheel. If so, will you still wait. 4 wheel drive is non negotiable for me

if 350miles range, is towing capacity still important?

That is an oddly specific price limit. What if it comes in at $51,909.85?

According to a 2020 study by J.D. Power, only 11% of US truck buyers tow with their vehicle on a regular basis. This means that the vast majority of truck owners do not use their trucks for towing, even though they have the capability to do so.

The study also found that the percentage of truck buyers who tow on a regular basis varies depending on the type of truck. For example, 17% of buyers of heavy-duty trucks tow on a regular basis, compared to only 8% of buyers of light-duty trucks.

There are a few reasons why so many truck owners do not tow with their vehicles. One reason is that many people who buy trucks do not actually need them for towing. They may simply want the extra space and capability that a truck offers. Another reason is that towing can be expensive, both in terms of the initial investment in a trailer or other towing equipment, as well as the cost of fuel.

Finally, some people simply do not enjoy towing. They may find it inconvenient or stressful. For these reasons, it is clear that not everyone who buys a truck needs or wants to use it for towing.

Here are some additional statistics from the J.D. Power study:

• 40% of truck buyers use their truck for hauling cargo on a regular basis.
• 35% of truck buyers use their truck for off-road driving on a regular basis.
• 25% of truck buyers use their truck for recreational purposes on a regular basis.

These statistics suggest that the majority of truck owners use their trucks for purposes other than towing. However, it is important to note that these statistics are based on a survey of new truck buyers, and it is possible that the percentage of truck owners who tow on a regular basis is higher among used truck buyers.

No one focuses on the gallon capacity of the fuel tank.

what you said above is less true with full sized trucks, and I’d venture to say false when it comes to people who tow regularly

this is why full sized trucks often have available optional fuel tank sizes - not something you see with other classes of passenger vehicles

related to why I keep banging the drum around all this FUD directed towards BEV trucks being somehow magically incapable of towing. Performance-wise, they’re actually far more capable at towing. My Lightning has better torque, horsepower, and suspension than F250s or F350s.

The only Achilles heel - at the moment - is “tank size.” But technologically, that’s improving every day.

If you told an ICE truck driver that an F250 “can’t tow” because it has a 13 gallon fuel tank, they’d screw their face up and say “just get a bigger tank, it can tow just fine.”

That same person will tell you a BEV truck “can’t tow.”

To be fair to that person, even champions of BEV vehicles spread this same FUD.

I'll be waiting for the 500 mile version then.

Me too

It makes logical sense as the Quad would be the flagship of the Cybertruck trims. The move would be similar to Rivian. They launched their Quad Motor first and followed up with a Dual Motor version at a later date.

If the rumor turns out to be true I predict Tesla targeted over 835 HP to one up the Quad Motor Rivian R1T.

If this prediction comes to fruition I expect the Quad Motor MSRP to be around 15% higher than the Tri Motor $69,990 reveal pricing announced in late 2019 (just under $80k).

Before we get a 6th page of comments, where did this rumor come from?
