What do you want Tesla to do? Just cancel the truck? They invested billions into this and need this product. You can't overcome basic physics; batteries are heavy, truck are big and heavy. We knew 4680 cell sucks from model y. Did you really think there was going to be a miracle 500mi truck and 15min recharge? ?
Silly straw man argument. You do not need a miracle. I was expecting Tesla to be able to deliver a truck that was at least competitive with GM. It did not. I would have bought the vehicle if it was 80% of GM's real-world highway range (not even close) or towing range or charging speed but it is not close on any of those dimensions.
How is my argument strawman? We all knew the 4680 cell sucked. Tesla always over promise and under deliver. Just look at all their other car range claim. You really think a model y can do 300+ mi unless you're hypermiling? The CT disappointment but I am not surprised. The writings were in the wall.Silly straw man argument. You do not need a miracle.

Tesla needs to go back and add 20 kwh of capacity and hold the price.
Yes. Yes it can. You just need to have a driving profile at or below the demand of an EPZ cycle, and not be afraid of going at or below 0%.
I have to state a few things once you added a screenshot of the Chevy Silverado EV.Silly straw man argument. You do not need a miracle.

Some have, more than four hundred last year. We don't know the range mix of those, just that the few that have been handed out did have four hundred miles EPA.I have to state a few things once you added a screenshot of the Chevy Silverado EV.
#1 - No Silverado EVs have been manufactured and delivered yet, so we don't really know the actual real-world range.
#2 - I went to Chevy's Silverado EV website and when it stated 400 miles range, there was a superscript which linked to small print.
Here is what the small print says in relation to the 400-mile range:
Are you still confident that the Silverado will meet your range needs?
Thank you for the correction. I knew some were purchased in 2023, but didn't know they were delivered yet.
It's certainly an extreme use profile but it also happens all the time when towing equipment. Towing a truck on a flatbed trailer is not really some exotic use case.
What percentage of readers on this forum do you think will be able to order the Foundation Series. I suspect that it is a relatively low number.
It can do it easily.
that’s a cute explanation
Yes, WT4 and WT3 are being delivered.I have to state a few things once you added a screenshot of the Chevy Silverado EV.

Wow, I must say that is pretty impressive range.
