Right , God forbid an actual pick up truck might get a bit of dust on it? What the heck , this form is full of complete wet noodles , no wonder normal people make fun of Tesla owners, and the cyber truck crowd. Ewwwww lame Os. You guys seem like the people who would have a hot girlfriend...

Right but it’s possible he wasn’t going for looks. Maybe he just didn’t want to shred the crap out of those weak ass tires over rocks and boulders or take chunks of metal out of those ghetto 20 inch show wheels.? Idk ? Possible if he’s using it as an actually “truck” ? I don’t know what has...

Not much of a truck guy / off-roader eh ? Maybe model y is best for you ? Nice dry paved roads . No scary rocks or branches to puncture the frail factory sidewalls of them budget tires they come with . what do you think the duel lockers are for (duel motor) ? Help get clicks on your YouTube...

You would hope they would do this unlike epic rivian fail . It’s a very simple seeming solution. Right wheel speed = left wheels speed , no exceptions. Otherwise it will embarrass itself when u actually need a “locker “. I also hope they don’t have the locker only engage at low speed like...

This is probably the most underrated and accurate comment ever stated thus far about the cyber truck and its off road ability. I’m sure more clueless people who are for sure going to off road the cyber with the unacceptable stock street tires and clownish 20” wheels at 50psi + are going to...

We kind of know in a way how it's going to off road. Like a super heavy ass full size truck with no locker up front. Tesla "reinvented" motors and drive lines no doubt. But their suspension, chassis is nothing revolutionary. 8" total wheel travel, double wishbone suspension (IFS) IRS swing maybe...

yeah true :) I am totally all in for an EV truck. It will do all the "normal" truck stuff, like haul things / family , camping, basic off-roading all while not worrying about paint , gasoline bill , servicing engine, T-case, trans or worrying about common truck upgrades like re gearing...

buy a truck with blown ICE motor and do EV conversion at a shop that has expertise in EV conversions and tesla motors /batteries on hand. 20-40k. Bam , EV pickup.

Most new trucks/SUVs/Jeeps come with bumpers designed for pedestrian and crash safety. They are also made for aerodynamic drag , to shield the tires from resistance. This makes sense for most truck needs. But that is absolute not going to work off road. With my 2018 Tacoma some of the first...

True true . I’m just sayin , at this time , if you really had to have a capable prerunner type vehicle that is also full EV, best option is convert a truck or Baja buggy. In this day. Believe me , the moment Tesla makes a dune buggy or so … I’ll give them a blank check .

Very cool idea , but that modified model 3 would get demolished attempting to run through a woop section of get air. Not to sound like a "know it all", but that project is a joke compared to what you need a properly built pre-runner or Baja bug to do. I have built a few prerunners (one was even...

Woah, I hope he was ok. Yes it can be insane out there. Generally we like to camp far away and jt "observe" from a nice safe distance. In Glamis this is almost impossible. Since the early 2000s I have been off roading/modifying my trucks and going out to ocotillo/Anza (right when I got my...

You should come out to glamis or ocotillo wells during desert season. Some big weekends see 100,000 (thanksgiving or New Years) people out there . That jeep , over landing stuff is cool and all , and many people still do that out here in CA/AZ but the market and people who rip across the...

Also depends on your idea or style off "off-roading". For the most basic "common" definition, it is things that most SUVs/jeeps do. trails, some hill climbs , muddy holes here and there, a few rocks to "get over", shallow water crossings ... essentially the slow things that most SUVs/jeeps are...

Solar is very low maintenance for decades. Compared to a generator which requires more periodic maintenance and can break down. Also the energy supply is free (light) for solar, as opposed to natural gas which is not free. You just have a higher upfront cost with solar, but this is getting...

It is getting much cheaper and there are still gov rebates for solar installations. I think for 12k-20k, after rebate, you can have a crew (from who ever you decide to go with) come and install the whole system in less than a day (4-8Kw system) . The permitting process is also done by them but...

Sounds like you should build your own (or pay someone) solar setup with battery backup. This would grant you full energy independence from the grid if you added enough panels /battery capacity. Even if the publicly available super chargers were "off grid" (which they are not), I would imagine...

Yes. my 7.5kw solar panel system, usually makes a total of 30-50kwh a day (depending on winter or summer). Car /truck should only need about 30-50kwh kwh's for around town daily driving range. So... with these numbers in mind: -If you are tied to the grid, use max 220v 50+ amps charging. net...

I have a 8,000 Watt solar system (paid off). Average (year round ave ) output per day is 42kwH. The Tri motor is set to have 200kwH battery that will take it 400 miles (safe under est.). That means per day I make about 1/5 the energy to fully charge a battery = 84 miles a day. That's 84 miles...

The only advantages for the F150 lighting are : 1) Bolt on Long Travel kits for the front suspension will probably work due to similarities between F150 chassis (like this...
