But if Tesla ramps the price up so high that it is a niche vehicle they are actually INCREASING ice truck sales.. if they price the truck in an affordable range with a waiting list, many shoppers for trucks will go on a waiting list and wait for one to become available.. those same people if the...
it depends on your goal.. if Tesla's GOAL was to own the BEV market your way makes sense..
Tesla has stated many times they do not want to own the BEV market, in fact they CAN"T meet their goal of moving the world away from ICE vehicles if they are the only BEV provider... so the ONLY market...
kinda funny the other day i was driving with my GF when the diesel truck in front of me shifted gears and for a few seconds black smoke billowed from it.. no he wasn't rolling coal it just happens to diesels sometimes..
i looked at my GF and said.. holy crap we got NO smell from that.. the...
the article on the new charging standard said it is backwards compatible and forward compatible.. so a cybertruck with it's higher capacity for charging CAN charge at any tesla charger.. and any tesla CAN charger at a semi supercharger... the charging rate is simply limited to the ability of...
i think tesla's plan is to compose numbers of wrecks in tesla that FSD would have avoided... then go to the government and say last year your laws against fsd killed x number of people
i think you may be missing a use case for the midgate.. open the midgate flatten the back seats and the bed goes from the tailgate to the back of the drivers /passenger seats.. that would be what a 10-11 foot bed? it wouldn't be as wide as most of the bed .. however it WOULD give you the...
there is a door organizer insert for the model y that has a cup holder spot that looks useful.. i suspect shortly after release <or even on release> there will be a TON of organizers for EVERY storage area in the CT
Not sure on reliability but acording to eledtrek this is already built into the vehicles and i think the new wall chargers they just don't have the options in software to turn it on/off

agreed like i said throw in enough outlets to do a really kewl tailgate.. and i think you will sell more trucks per year than you can make at max production... once you figure out the demand isn't going away and order another couple of 9 ton gigapresses to set up more lines THAN you will have...
apparently heat treating stainless depends on the color you want
" On Stainless, color changes start at approx 550 deg F for a pale yellow and continue to change until a dark blue will occur at approx 1100 deg F "
while temp changes that affect the properties start at around 930 degrees.. SO...
again i didn't say work truck.. i said trucks going to work site.. and yes the majority of the people buying them are middle class peeps who don't need or want 18 different power solutions for a work site... that was the entire point of my post tesla doesn't need to win over the people that want...
Ok those that have read my threads will know that i reccently got a brand new model Y LD....
As I looked through the upgrades on the app i noticed i have an "acceleration boost" upgrade available that will boost my 0-60 speed from 4.8 to 4.3 seconds.
Pretty cool but i have to wonder do all of...
I started driving in 1978 and have driven junkers a good part of the time, a lot of that time on a shoe string budget... so .. in short i have swapped tires on the roadside quite a few times... On my old Neon I did it so often <over 2 decades of car ownership> that the last time i had to do it...
are we sure that battery back goes the entire length of the skateboard... that is one LONG truck.. it would be fairly easy to leave a 3-4' section of the back NOT loaded with batteries but part of the skateboard.. then you could put a tire in that little compartment... or at least that is my...
Gimme front and rear access to the hitch rail.. and a jack that plugs into it.. then you can lift both front wheels or both rear wheels from the existing trailer hitch setup 8)
I am lazy that way
Keep in mind in my post I didn't say work trucks I said trucks going to work SITES... because the whole thread was about the massive distribution capabilities of ford and GM and how tesla had work to do to match it.
I understand what you are saying ... my point is of those numbers how many new...
does anyone know what percentage of trucks sold work at an actual worksite??
A lot of people are hung up on that concept that tesla needs to outperform on a worksite from the word go.. and i just have no clue what percentage of actual trucks do so...
ford sold 653k F150's in 2022 .. i have a...
