Well... just submitted the "paperwork" to allow me to jump the line with my RN11955**** (2nd reservation) CyberTruck. 😃
I've been holding off since last year on my RN11275**** (reveal night reservation) that they welcomed me to start designing, because I need at least 400 miles of non-towing...
The people who walk up to a CyberTruck are a self selected slice of the population. Without an evaluation of the number of people who see it across the parking lot without giving it a second look nor walking over to it, you/we'll never know what the overall view of it is.
I thought it looked...
"Zero interest... except for the 4% interest* we charge right off the bat. 🤑"
*instant interest that we don't call "interest". We give a new name to make you feel better and can boast to your friends that you "didn't pay any interest"
You could probably talk a franchise dealership into taking a credit card if you increased the sales price by 3%. Dealerships have a haggle pricing model, so they're free to increase the sale price or decrease your trade in price so that they don't have to eat the CC company's fees. Tesla uses...
Mass for traction is a double edged sword. If your vehicle is too light for the tire treads to put themselves to full use, adding weight can improve traction. But if treads are doing all they're capable of, the added inertia will either keep your vehicle from getting going (stuck in the snow) or...
As a general rule, you cannot buy something to be a collectors item in the future. You'd have to be the only person who foresees that someday, folks entering middle age will pine for limited quantity ephemera from their childhood. If something is being produced AS collector's items, I can...
Seems the Sheriff's Dept. owes you a solid, can't you make them find you a temporary vehicle in the interim? They can do Civil Asset Forfeiture (CAF) on somebody in their jurisdiction. Are there any cool cars in your neighborhood they can seize? It'd be great if they take one from an actual...
There are millions of people who could give Tesla suggestions on how to improve CyberTruck, but Munro & Assoc. are one of only a handful of companies that can give advice to Tesla that are both: reasonably possible and cost effective. Tesla would be smart if they moved Sandy up in the queue...
Y'all are both skirting my point. My post specified "Provided you don't overload the rear axle..."
My point was that the weight added to the rear axle due to leverage force doesn't get added to the "payload".
The leverage from rear axle to hitch doesn't take away from the payload because whatever it adds to the rear axle it deducts from the front axle. Provided it doesn't overload the rear axle's capacity, it all comes out in the wash.
Although I've threaten to, I've never had the gumption to key a new car just to get the stress of the first dent over with, I do get a touch of satisfaction when it finally, organically happens. 😌
