I noticed the window has to come down to open the door and it doesn't automatically roll all the way back up when the door closes. That's interesting. Not exactly the rain feature I'd want. Hopefully, this feature is fully fleshed out yet. Let's keep the windows up when we open the doors okay?

Not the thud I'm looking for. But I guess we also have to account for the fact that the window is not framed in metal and door seals. So it was bound to sound a little different than a typical truck door closing.

Gonna need more then 2 cup holders for any road trip. Maybe there are still some stashed away on a slider under the center seat. Same as my F150 today.

I'm going to go out on a limb and put this WAG out there for long term prices. $39,990 single-motor. $49,900 dual-motor. $69,900 tri-motor. It's just a wild ass guess based on nothing I've ever heard or seen.

People freak out over 5g. I can't imagine what they will think of roads emanating EMFs into their vehicles.

I don't think we know yet if the CT battery will be replaceable or upgradable given that it's part of the structure. Does anyone know anyone who has recycled their old car battery and gotten money for it? From what vehicle, what size pack, and how much did they get?

Can you elaborate on this? I didn't lose any miles from a full tank of gas from year 1 to year 10 on my current truck. The only decrease came when I put 35" tires on it. That was a few years ago and nothing has changed since. My previous F250 was the same and I kept the stock-size tires on...

Will do. When I think of 80% penetration, I'll think of @Arctic_White

Time will tell, but I don't think we can transition that fast. BEV sales were up to 5.7% in 2022 from 3.4% in 2021. I know if you run that out you'll hit 50% in 2026 or 2027, but then you'd hit 100% in 2028. No way. I think 30% by 2030 for BEV and PHEV is very realistic.

3 EVs in the next 10 years isn't the way I buy and use vehicles. I might own 3-4 more trucks in my driving life over the next 40 years. To your point of why wait; because I'm not buying the CT for any reason greater than financial sense and it barely fits that mold (for me). I'm not going to...

I really only look at what is coming when what is available isn't good enough or is barely good enough. I've always maintained the only EV truck for me is one that can get that 500+ mile range, AWD capable, and is a full-size truck. Right now there are 0 of those available for purchase today...

Yes, I have time to wait.

Is it just me and my news feed or are solid state batteries actually starting to make real headwinds. I see Mercedes among others are actually going to be using SS in some production vehicles. I know they are still expensive and cost prohibitive for mass production but I can't help but wonder...

And here's me, 5'11...180 in a 2013 F150.

I said the same thing a while back when we first saw a bed that didn't look like SS. I'm onboard with it. Whatever gives me more range. And if it's only $115 option over a regular steel bed. Maybe it's cheaper then a SS bed. Seems to me the price of the CT is coming down!!

A friend of mine bought a mach-E vs a model Y after test driving both. He said the same thing. The seats made the difference for him.

Exactly. Mix a CT and a Russian nesting doll!

I'd prefer an enclosed and heated 50" wide side-by-side. I mentioned years ago I'd like an offroad scooter (like the Kaabo Wolf but 1/3rd the price) that would flush fit when folded somewhere into the CT. But now I'm just dreaming.

I would not consider buying any of those.

Things I think about after my bedtime. Is FSD AI or does it require AI to truly work? Are you going to pay for FSD? Given EMs comments about AI and his own concerns with it, are you at all concerned with AI and its implications? (i.e. Air that can do just about all things better than humans...
