There will be when I make my overhead rack for mine.

I've already made my position well known. I have a rack on my F250 and an 8' bed. The rack is very handy for materials that are longer than 8' too.

This is a nice compromise for the lack of length. The CT is supposed to be longer than the other trucks, but a rack makes the difference even more stark.

He does talk too much and says little. I'm not impressed with the Chevy for a couple of reasons. The weight is massive for less than 3/4 ton. The 400 mile range is fine, but with all of the caveats it indicates a disbelief in actually making that range even unloaded and being extremely careful...

Maybe it's because I am tired. Maybe it's because I just realized that this is pointless. I live the comparison between ICE and EV. I did the math, I considered used, I considered new, and even though I do ALL of my maintenance at my own shop without charging myself labor, I considered the real...

ummm... really?! No. Yes, they have become computer controlled, fuel injected; TBI, MPFI, and direct injection. Roller cams with hydraulic roller lifters or dual overhead cams without pushrods. There have been improvements with high volume and high pressure fuel pumps, Variable valve timing...

I will take that as a compliment. I know the market has moved trucks to glorified grocery carts for a family of 4. I keep my 1971 because I don't need to carry more than two passengers for more than rescuing people stuck by the side of the road. My experience in construction has always been as...

I agree with you. His calculations are wild! The 20mpg when talking about trucks is a fantasy. Especially when referring to full size trucks. The fuel economy is nominal at 12mpg, ranging from 6 to 8 mpg when hauling/towing, to maybe 18 on the freeway on cruise control without hills, without a...

I agree that we both have a difference of opinion. I do wonder where you are getting the dimensions and slope from. I have seen every iteration of the CT and each time the bed is a rectangle and flat, not a polygon. 6 1/2 feet in length and almost 5 feet wide. As for the F150, its design is...

Interesting. Is this a reference to the size reduction? At this point none of the offerings are an eight foot bed length, unless you consider opening the back of the cabin to the elements (Silverado pass through) acceptable, so none of them meet my minimum. Still, I expect the CT to be much...

D'at's FUnnY! No really, that is a joke. I am a Ford guy. I have three vehicles out of the four I own that are Ford. The fourth, or dare I say FIRST car is a Tesla model Y. I drive a 71 F250 because I cannot abide a short bed truck. I haven't been able to rationalize a new F250 because the...

I read this article. It was, to me, just one more hit piece. It used the alpha stage of the CT as a rationalization for bashing Tesla's build quality. I kept reading despite the writer's, and editor's, prejudice saturating the excessive word count masquerading as an article. Is the CT late...

I have squirt bottles and lighters at the ready. I even have a couple rolls of Scott tissue.

Money in the bank! This is probably a better financial plan than the stock market.

I'm certain it will have air bags! Maybe if only the suspension or the rider.

Never going to admit to seeing anything else. Just the cybertruck accessory.

I watched Ellie in space's video. As soon as I saw the rack I was measuring in my mind, looking for the mounting points and assessing whether I could weld a stainless version in my shop. I was imagining how round stock would look too. Punched and dimpled gussets instead of the grating along the...

Right?! So it will float better in the lakes on Mars!

A Tardis prototype?

What? Haven't you seen the Canoo truck? a slide out and fold up sides and tailgate? All it needs is a pigtail that connects accessory tail lights from the tailgate that is in the downward position.
