  1. F150 Lightning Predictions

    I may be one of those people that give up my Cybertruck reservation. I'm rather far down with Tesla. I think there were already around 600k reservations when I finally signed up last summer. I placed a reservation for the F150 lightning as soon as the reveal aired. I will purchase whichever...
  2. Odd Changes to Cybertruck Bed?

    Your post about Austin was only the 14th comment. Nobody else mentioned Austin in this thread prior to that.
  3. Odd Changes to Cybertruck Bed?

    Really? Then the initial post was confusing. It seemed to suggest this was from New York. Or did you mean the Austin sighting was a separate instance altogether than when the photo posted above was taken?
  4. Odd Changes to Cybertruck Bed?

    I agree. Looks like a reflection to me.
  5. What percentage of pre-orders will actually buy?

    I suspect a fair amount of Cybertruck reservation holders also placed reservations on other EVs. The number of reservations that get canceled will depend partially on whether Rivian, Lucid, Ford, etc can deliver a suitable EV for one's needs prior to Tesla. I plan to buy 2 new EVs in the next 2...
  6. TSLA, MARKETS TAKING A BEATING

    They already did respond... But your snide response to them about opinions gave the impression you thought a company's market cap was its value. I was adding info to help you understand market cap is not the best indication of a company's current worth. Then you responded with a snide comment...
  7. TSLA, MARKETS TAKING A BEATING

    FullyGrounded didn't suggest anyone's opinion determines market cap. I think they were merely stating that the market cap is not representative of the company's value... Which is true for many companies. Market cap tells you the total value of the company's stock... NOT the value of the company...
  8. What am I missing?

    This. There is virtually no chance all versions of the Cybertruck will have the same payload. The 3500 lb advertised payload likely refers to the maximum payload. Not all versions will achieve this number.
  9. Why Startups (and Tesla) Will Struggle with Electric Pick Ups

    You accused me of making assumptions but followed with a post filled with assumptions. Hmm... My assumption is simple and concise. Most people will not suddenly change their preferences and continue to like well established companies with good quality control and a strong service network...
  10. Why Startups (and Tesla) Will Struggle with Electric Pick Ups

    No... Not even close. I don't think it will sell well. Maybe GM doesn't think it needs to sell a ton at the current price above $100k to make money. The Hummer EV has awesome specs, but it's out of reach for the vast majority of people currently driving trucks. I suspect the Ford will be...
  11. Why Startups (and Tesla) Will Struggle with Electric Pick Ups

    You don't think Ford will do it? They broke ground on their new factory for electric F150 production not far from when Giga Texas broke ground. They plan to start production in 2022. Heck... GM is producing an electric truck starting in 2021. Ford and GM will certainly have EV trucks...
  12. Why Startups (and Tesla) Will Struggle with Electric Pick Ups

    I have a 2020 vehicle with a large screen. It still has a physical volume knob, climate control buttons, windshield wiper buttons, sunroof buttons, and so on. Those types of functions are duplicated in the large touchscreen, but I haven't seen any evidence that they are being chased out any...
  13. Why Startups (and Tesla) Will Struggle with Electric Pick Ups

    I'll respond to a couple of questions. I don't meant to ignore any of them... There are just too many to address on one post typed on a phone keyboard. When would I buy the F150? The very first year. I will buy the first electric truck I can get my hands on if it meets my needs and preferences...
  14. Why Startups (and Tesla) Will Struggle with Electric Pick Ups

    I own tesla stock because I think they will continue to grow, but I agree with the authors that Tesla's growth will be limited by legacy automakers snatching up a significant portion of EV sales. Tesla has a couple more years without significant competition, and then people will start to have...
