Tesla's going to need to do something quick. GM is dominating on the range and value side. They just released data today on 2025 trims, price, range. Anyone who claims that the Tesla network is enough to negate the need for range is missing the perspective of a large segment of the truck driving...

Fits the can be done, but could be easier point. Those steps make a huge difference when you're loading/unloading a lot. Walking onto the bed while holding a bike, moving boxes or material, or plain old getting the wife and kids on the bed to see fireworks, etc. Good workout too, it's like doing...

Crissa, I feel you're misreading "not built to be a work truck". I'm saying this in a way that a TRX or a Raptor is not a dedicated work truck. It's a loose example, but my point. You can do work stuff with them, but it's not what they are dedicated to. Tesla did not set out to build a...

Regarding the work truck aspect, I think they're their not being specific to the use case. From what I see the CT is a good local trade or farm truck whereas something like a GM's new big battery trucks are better for dedicated work trucks in general. The legacy trucks still have more intuitive...

Geography matters on the range as well. Higher elevations like Denver would likely have better numbers than Texas due to air density. Google says Denver has 82% the air density of sea level. I always felt like TFL and Out of Spec, both out of Denver/Ft.Collins area, always had better numbers...

Have not, but I'll look into it. Thanks! I got a reply today from my accountant requesting I give him a few days to research since they have a lot of tax filing's due by the 15th. I hope to find out an official word around that time (TX resident). He does tax for some big fish, I'm probably...

CT is part of the exotics club, welcome. I don't own one, but this is all reminiscent when I owned a Ferrari F430. This was recent, so it's a relatively "old" Ferrari for this generation, and cost me less than $100k. I got the exact same mix of reactions. Of those who reacted nearly all...

I was pretty much exclusively using the Tesla charging network when away from home in my Lightning. They had the best reliability and lowest rates with a membership. You’re right, if Tesla hadn’t opened up their charging network to both Ford and GM, it would be a no brainer. The problem in my...

Fair statement, but coming from a Lightning, the RST is still a leap forward. I'm active on multiple truck EV forums. I'm quick to say that I'm trying to force the CT to work, but the pragmatic side of me says I'd have an easier time for my specific use case in the 400+ range vehicle. I love...

Some resources with answers so far: https://www.physicianfinancialservices.com/Breaking-Down-Clean-Vehicle-Tax-Credits-for-Business-Owners.c10149.htm In particular, this part stands out...

Hopefully someone can help us get those questions answered.

A lot of folks being blind-sided with the lack of qualification for the $7,500 EV tax credit on the CT. There's a subset of us here that have S-Corp's, and LLC's. I've yet to attempt going the commercial tax credit route using my S-corp, but wondering if anyone here has done it and how they went...

Thanks for sharing, it's pretty close to the Lightning. Are you getting that on the highway at 70? Also do you have the all seasons or off-road tires?

Interesting, I thought that AST's had a range of 340.

I've been bouncing between RST and CT. Now that non-FS CT is on the table I'm really considering it for the cost savings, tech, and infrastructure. The issue is I swore I wouldn't get anything with less than about 400 range if I purchased another EV truck after my experience with the Lightning's...

Desperately need some context here. The SER should max at 212kW max from dead to 100% for starters, he's got 238kW. Further, he had to have charged to 100% which means he got super fast charging (assume 350kW charger) to 80%, so how much time did he waste as the charging speeds stepped down as...

Thanks for the review. Your negatives are one of the things I struggle with. I have stuff in every nook of my Ford (Just swapped a Lightning for a King Ranch w/ Powerboost). I do like that it will fit in a garage, but on the other hand, the 10/10 trucks fit three car seats across. Now that...

Simultaneously excited and disappointed. Fully expected the tax credit. Initially I thought the strategy for Tesla was to get the CT sub $80k for the credit, so then the consumer would have an extra $7,500 for the extended battery that came separately; allowing it to compete with the GM twins on...

I'm assuming this is more a question of time, than money. The lost time on charging stops add up when traveling long distance.

Bloated, bureaucratic, unionized, legacy companies. No surprise there.
