No one said it would teach them anything. I just wouldn’t want a vehicle I’m not happy with its fit and finish. I do a lot of new construction and the things I see contractors get pulled on is crazy. There’s customers who will get a 10k lumen flash light and a magnifying glass and point out...

That’s a good point. I know a few guys with the raptor r and TRX and they think they are the fastest vehicles on the planet ? it will at least get them thinking twice about going in about how fast their trucks are. Nothing wrong with a AWD but the cyber beast puts them in their place. My buddy...

Clearly not as the picture clearly shows there’s a 1/8” to 3/16” gap where there should be no gap. The distance some of you guys go to defend this blows me away. That’s not acceptable on a $100k vehicle no matter what the brand. The more of you who are willing to accept this as “Normal” means it...

For the 3-4x a year you might tie a 12k lb trailer with a f150 it will be fine but if you tow a lot like a lot of people act like they do with EV’s then get a diesel 3/4+ ton I say.

When I bought the truck I knew nothing about trucks. The dealer said the model I was ordering had a 3300lv payload and 11.3klb towing. But of course I found out later it didn’t after I owned it. The truck actually weights about 6500lb on the scales but I have some of my own stuff in the truck...

Here’s how I think it’s gonna play out. Production numbers are gonna be very low for the next year. The orders from FS will keep up with production without an issue. If foundation orders slow down which could take a long time then they will roll back to the standard pricing and start the order...

Your payload is your GVRW minus your GVW. My truck weights around 6300-6400lbs. It’s not the HD payload package truck but it does have the extra leaf in the rear from that package. Sticker says 900lbs payload and I have had over 3x that in the bed. Normally around 2500lbs most commonly though.

that’s what I’m looking for. That would likely be a big seller.

Damn man you famous. my buddy just contacted me and said the cybertruck was the headline post on the daily mail. It moved down a slot by the time I got there but it’s still way up there. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-12957423/First-Cybertruck-defects-reported.html

My platinum does have 900lb payload. The CT has 2500lb payload. People are getting too caught up with what the manufacturer says. The guy with the drywall clearly went way over what the documentation says yet it was fine just like my truck was fine when I went 3x over its rated capacity.

Yeah it was a package you added to turn it into a HD version. I think the technical name was “HD payload package. Was kind of like the MAX tow package but it added some other stuff the Max tow package didn’t have but increased payload handling. I actually didn’t know a lot about trucks as that...

same size bed, same size frame. Not idea about spring rates as my truck actually has the extra leaf the HD version has even though I don’t have that package. For some reason it adds the extra leaf when adding 20” platinum rims. Even with 2500lb in the bed the truck rides nice and level. My truck...

There should be an expectation that the vehicle should be pretty much perfect when you pick it up. That's what PDI is for. I guess it depends if tesla consider panel gaps normal or a defect. I have walked away from a vehicle one time as the leather on the seats was a mess. Fords excuse was that...

If the trailer wasn't used a lot the tires were likely dry rotted. Tires that just sit for weeks at a time go bad real quick. if a tires used it's actually better for the side walls. not uncommon what happened to you as most utility trailers sit for extended lengths of time. They also don't get...

My f150 has a 900lb payload. I have had over 3k lbs in the bed and the truck handled with zero issues. I regularly have pallets in the 2500lb of wood flooring and tile too. Almost every supercrew/extended cab 1/2 ton you see towing or hauling material is over their spec's.

what’s your plan with the rear window and cover? I’m looking into company’s that could make me a new window and add a sliding mechanism so that I have an area to load long material. Tesla missed the ball on making that window a single piece.

Congrats on the truck. Personally I would have flipped my **** if they gave the truck to me with that rear bed side looking like that. Do they not do a PDI before calling you to come pick it up? How does it even leave the factory like that in the first place and if it popped out then is that...

I put my pre order in around 6hours after the live event so let’s say day one pre order. I already put my order in for the beast and I have an expected delivery of mid-end 2024. There are millions more people in the line behind me and even a couple of people I know who ordered the same day as we...

Interesting points. I was shocked when I see the Chevy Silverado RST EV review where the guy said the truck was 9900lb. It makes sense more now with it having a 450mile range. That’s one seriously heavy truck. That’s likely why they delayed the release as they figured out pretty quickly that the...

I’m guessing there’s some kind of supplier bottle neck in relation to the beast. They would be making much more profit on them over the AWD. Anyone heard why they are being produced in such small numbers?
