Truck stuff or not, I don't know. I never said truck stuff, but I use one vehicle to do all stuff and that includes, as I've mentioned several times over the last 4 years, cold weather, crappy, muddy, slushy, snowy, icy remote roads for about 7-10 days while hunting with a 4 wheeler in the bed...

You said "what WE should be hoping for..." I was just pointing out that I'm not part of your stated "WE". I literally could not care less about 300, 350, or 400 mile truck. It's 500+ or bust. I can wait. My hail damaged, 1 accident truck is at 140k, and it serves me just fine and runs fine.

Well, since I reserved a 500+ mile trimotor, the only thing I'm hoping for is a 500+ mile CT.

Thanks for the chart! I think 500+ it's still within reach for 180-200kWh pack for Tesla. If your chart estimates Ford would need 218kWh pack now and the CT will have a better cd and more efficient battery than the F150, then a 200kWh battery from Tesla should do it.

Not sure about the others but your Ford numbers were wrong. Per Ford's website; 98 kWh @ 240 miles (0.408 kWh / mile) 131 kWh @ 300 miles (0.436 kWh / mile) But we still don't know the battery size options for the CT yet. I guess we can assume it will perform better in terms of kWh/mile, but...

I can't say I've ever changed the wipers on a Mercedes, but the OEM vs the blades I can buy at O'Reilly's, AutoZone, etc seem to work just as well on every vehicle I have used.

I didn't think you were supposed to transport refrigerators like that. I thought they were supposed to upright during transport.

Why would I do that? The car has no spark plugs. It does however have a windshield wiper that will need replacing at some point.

If this is true that is terrible. I should be able to replace a wiper in 5 minutes. I should not have to special order it.

Apparently the answer to my question is, not much. No new model 3, just the old old No Plaid S No Tesla reps This video is still pretty good.

What does Tesla have at the show?

Shovels, rakes, etc. Really, anything light enough that I don't have to drop the tailgate for. I also load and unload my Mtn Bike from the side all the time. I'm not saying the side sail is a deal breaker; just saying I load and unload from the sides often.

The CT has to hit a home run. It CAN NOT swing and miss. They HAVE TO get it right. Releasing the CT to meet a timeline before it's truly ready for the world of truck critics would be a massive mistake. It is going to have more critics than any truck in history. Priority #1 has to be...

$0 300 miles is a non-starter for me and a truck. For me, there is no conversation unless the truck gets an EPA 500 miles. This has been my stance since day 1. I barely paid attention at all to Rivian, Canoo and all the others because of this. The CT got my attention with the 500+ in lights...

500 miles. The ICE competition has more range and a better infrastructure supporting that range.

What you started as a statement and ended as a question is not true.

I don't disagree. My comment was for those for whom a Model S can replace the truck. A truck can replace a car and more. As a daily driver, yes a truck is usually more wasteful in terms of energy to drive vs. a car. But it's arguably better than having multiple cars for one person at the same...

More than a few people seem to be considering the Model S over the Cybertruck now with the new Model S pricing. I find this interesting because I've never considered any car over any truck. They serve two different purposes. Yes a truck could serve both purposes, but you either need a truck or...

It looked good but the cul-de-sac is not much of a test. I can do that in my F-150 on 35s today.

Real question. What is the concern with a powered frunk lid? Never once have I ever heard someone complain about not having a powered hood on an ICE truck. I don't even know if they make such a thing. Do people want the frunk lid powered because they view it more like an SUV tailgate now?
