Okay. I'll suspend my disdain for racing across brackets. But, I was still impressed with the 12 second quarter mile time of the dual motor. I enjoy going to drag races and watching everything from top fuel to door slammers and outlaws. So, when I see two stock trucks make 11 and 12 second...

I have no intention of wrapping mine in anything but mud, dirt, and maybe some concrete splatter. I've wanted a capable electric truck to use as a truck. The only modification I intend is to add a rack. Either I will spend the cash for Tesla's version, or I will make my own. I've never been...

That is good information! It wasn't what I intended to ask for, but I will definitely add that app to my phone when I get my truck sometime in 2025 or 26. I'm estimated somewhere in the high 800K in line as I read my reservation number. I may ultimately want an 8 foot long bed and an intimate...

As long as the truck gets across the mountain passes that surround me to the next charge point with a load, I will be satisfied. Then again, I would prefer a long bed and less passenger area. I want to work. I want a truck to do work. If I have to have a trailer, I know my range is going to...

I already have NFCU, so when my CT reservation comes around in 3025 I'll be ...dead. I mean 2025, I will be ready.

Well, I suppose it is time to make noise again. If Canoo comes out with a truck with an 8' bed, I'm dropping Tesla's CT. This event has a snowball's chance in Haiti. As for the Tesla experience versus a dealership experience, it is a mixed bag of ... shit. I have ordered a car from a Dodge...

I'll choose the fine wonderfully abrasive Northwestern variety of mud found locally. thank you.

Which is heavier? The couple of grams of the second wiring harness, or the adapter that is required? The adapter is by far the heavier part.

The stop for refill versus recharge is important, too. Standing within inclement weather doing the safe thing and holding on to the fuel nozzle until it clicks is uncomfortable. There are great days where the weather is so enticing as to be outside, but even then, the fumes of the fuels still...

Putting the wreck aside, the way the article is written is messed up. The writer acknowledges the fault of the accident is on the Honda. They departed from their lane on a road with minimal shoulder, left the road, over-corrected, and collided with an oncoming vehicle. That should be the end of...

Oh. great. So, if something happens to a section of the wiring harness, the whole thing needs replaced?! So much for DIY laws.

The way I see it, design has always won, as long as the infrastructure is sufficient to allow utilization. The biggest drawback to all transportation is access to fuel. Currently EV's have advantage when the owner has direct access to electricity. Without the direct access, even a reliable...

I agree. Had they made 88mph, the wall wouldn't have been in the way. it would have just been a bunch of dirt, water, and scrub. I doubt Marty would have had a nice large bill board to hide the truck behind, though.

How much would the diesel cost the environment in the same time? How much would the diesel back up traffic because it was taking up two lanes trying to pass at 3 mph faster than the truck it was passing? How would the diesel handle the severe down hill grades with glowing red brake drums because...

Nah, just take it through some mud. Problem solved!
