it’s a truck. It was advertised as doing truck things. It can’t do truck things. It can’t get its original range even 4 years later. It can’t even get its current rated range. This will cost more to run that a gas truck and much slower to the destination. Trucks were designed to be used to work...
No one is buying it fur long haul towing. I have not seen a single person in 4 years say they want to to be able to long haul tow. People who tow around town are buying it just as most other 1/2 tons. If you are long haul towing get a 3/4+ ton. But when it can’t tow my trailer to the nearest...
The legacy makers have a problem they clearly can’t fix and that’s dealers. Battery tech and motor tech across the brands seems very close in the real world. I’m checking out what the Ford T3 might offer. The last few months have shown some promising info if it’s correct and it might be showing...
I see the the trailer tow test right after I made that post above and it’s not looking good. My trailer is pretty call at 7000lb but it’s inclosed so it’s much less aerodynamic. My estimates now look at 40-50miles at best. That range wouldn’t even get me to the 2 nearest towns and back without...
You clearly don’t understand truck buyers don’t tow regularly. Most truck buyers dont carry payload regularly either. There’s a vast amount truck buyers who don’t see the cyber truck as a truck in the slightest. Just the idea of it not being able to tow will put the vast majority of truck buyers...
I know right. We have only just recently found out the specs advertised 4 years ago are not even close. The specs they advertise now are not even close and the response from some is buy a fossil burner it’s not meant to be used as a truck. These same people have been arguing with the people...
depends. I know guys that drive 3hrs each way. My commute is literally 30seconds to 5mins. Unless I goto the suppliers.
the charging is unlikely on most sites. My sites here have temp power but some sites run in generators all day.
Yet there’s people who say well don’t tow! If I wanted a vehicle that didn’t tow I wouldn’t buy a truck. The CT has diesel HP and TQ and 12k tow rating. Why have that if you are not towing. It’s a truck not a race car. I would have been happy with 150miles. I would have made do wilth 100miles...
This really can’t be predicted. It’s not a limited run vehicle like the Raptor R as there were only 5000 of them made and quite a few are still sitting on dealers lots.
There will likely be demand for the CT beast in the first year as it’s very limited currently but not being able to sell...
That’s my hope too. mines meant to be mid summer to end of year. I’m hoping there will be some significant software updates to fix the charge speeds and stupidly low range issues. Yeah it’s easy for people to say buy another truck because the cyber truck is not for me. Why design a truck that...
I just commented on another thread about waiting for this. But it’s not good news I see. My trailer is an enclosed 7x14 3500lb tandem axle. If the towing figures are this bad on that trailer then my trailer will likely be twice as bad. I really wanted to see around 150miles towing when I...
I’m waiting to see how this pans out. I don’t know a lot about how they calculate range on EV’s as I don’t own one. CT would be my first but it was kind of a shock waiting 4 years and the range being 320miles and now real world tests are showing 200 on the highway that’s big problem. 320 miles...
It would be stupid if they didn’t design the cover to make the bed mostly water tight. People buy covers for a couple of reasons.
1. To secure stuff in the bed
2. To keep stuff dry
Some people require both and tonneau cover are normally rated to show if they are secure and water tight. The...
I would take the dump trailer before getting it put in my truck bed. Ain’t no one gonna be happy with shoveling that out the bed. My trucks 15 years old. It’s been used in my construction business that whole time. Yeah it’s pretty it’s platinum ?
I don’t think people under stand how hard it to take a vehicle from a 4second 0-60 to a 3 second 0-60. It’s easy going from a 6 second to a 5 second 0-60 in comparison. 3.0 seconds was only in the realm of hyper cars and rally cars and now it’s in almost 7000lb trucks. They’re a large premium...
