Ford indicated on their reveal of the lightening they offer a full size bed. However in this string of conversation someone mentioned that the CT vault was one foot longer than the Ford. Since Tesla announced the CT would have a 78" bed length but Ford indicated "full size" instead of actual...
You bring up a good thought exercise. The tires on the CT, based on the load capacity of the truck should be E rated tires. If not, they will be when I get mine. With this said, I haven't experienced a bad tire yet and I have abused my F250 with overloads and construction debris. I have a...
I understand the point you're making. I would like to point out that that cast iron engine is held firmly in place with at least three mounting points attached to the frame of the truck. None of that sprung weight is free to move except to dispel some harmonics through the frame.
It is a matter of perception. This dealership is rather large for our town of 12,000 population. The whole statement validates the "long while". The dealership had a single Mach E, did not promote the Mach E, never put it in their prime advertising spot or close to their main thoroughfare...
Your observation about the dealerships hits close to home where I live. The local Ford dealership had a Mach E for sale on their lot for quite a while. Until someone where I work bought it for a deep discount. There is a lot of issue to unpack with this purchase. But, there was only ONE BEV...
Credit limits are personal to the individual. You should know yours already as part of your credit account statements. As for this avenue of credit use, don't. Unsecured credit charges at a higher rate because there is no collateral held against the debt. If you already have the cash...
Crissa did respond appropriately. Tesla does recycle their products, which is a far sight better than anyone else. As for your vault design, I am not sure the concrete is necessary though. The foot print for the battery will be around 50 square feet given the wheel base and width and probably...
Just what the roadways need, a mirror polished vehicle to reflect the sun, oncoming lights, and attract the unwanted attention of law enforcement. Personally, I'm going to revel in mud baths and let the rain wash the truck clean.
Has Toyota not heard of Brown's gas?! This is old and backyard technology being presented as an improvement? To what? The P.E.M. fuel cell has a 60% efficiency over the 15 to 20% efficiency of combustion. This is a pathetic waste of time, money, and effort. If they don't start soon they...
The owner did not buy FSD, the autopilot was not engaged (the cars are fully connected to Tesla), and had the fire department been trained in putting out an E.V. fire they would not have used WATER. They doused the Lithium battery fire with the one thing that makes the lithium metal EXPLODE...
I agree with you completely! I have an old f250 and I have the same capability except only 3 passenger and nothing but a stereo and crap speakers (yes, I love it this way). I regularly drive rural roads and gravel, and the scenario about blind corners and short/no passing lane is real. I read...
funny thing about this. Either will run in a fuel injection system. The combustion will just be inefficient either way and the power will suuuuuuuuck. As for Diesel in a gas engine, there is an "old timer's" trick that uses a gallon of diesel in a full tank of gas as a "top end" lubrication...
I don't see Tesla waiting to do anything. They could have stopped at any time and just made a car that was good enough, batteries that were good enough, safety that was good enough, and left the charging network to someone else. They haven't stopped improving on their own designs yet. In my...
1. Electric/Reduced atmospheric carbon
2. Utility
3. Longevity
4. Simplicity
5. Range, actual and comparative.
The Cybertruck will be my daily driver and my grunt truck. It will replace two I.C.E. trucks, a 1988 Dodge Dakota 4x4 sport that I use for out of town material runs, and a 1971 Ford...
I agree with some of this. Had an actual race car engineer actually designed the Mustang it could have won that race against a model S, maybe. I am an "old" Ford enthusiast, back before the industry stopped being about their version of strength, capability, longevity, and owner repair, and...
I am torn!! I want the world to transition to electric across all platforms, including inexpensive forms for those of us without strong cash flows. However, I do not trust the corporate decision makers at Chevy. They have a history of bait and switch. They are huge on announcement and thin...
