Sorry, I meant to say nobody should. An actual contractor that uses their truck daily would never do this. You donāt seen landscapers pulling up in their F350s dumping mulch in their beds for a reason.
Go rent a dump trailer and it will save you hours of work. It will haul more, dump the load...
There just trying to show no damage. Not super impressive to me, should've dumped it from higher. Also nobody dumps gravel or anything in your bed. Get a dump trailer for that. You going to wreck your bed, shovel it out, and then have to pressure wash it? Or just rent a dump trailer? When they...
I also forgot to add we just bought a Model 3 standard range on the 12th. Love it but we just called and reserved it. It was in stock, brand new. A week before the full credit was gone. Last year there was a long wait for Teslas. Or any car.
Why else would they lower the price by 20% on their vehicles? They want to keep production on the up. I meant more on the macro side. As in all car/truck sales are going to suffer. Interest rates have more than doubled in 1 year. Economy has to slow down.
Tesla knew the market is shifting so...
I think a good amount will cancel. Price is almost for sure higher than initially announced and economy outlook isn't looking great at the moment. Tesla has slashed prices like crazy this year. I know they're trying to capture the market, but clearly demand has fallen. I would think ICE vehicles...
I have seen someone with a old Ford Ranger that built his own small gooseneck which was "ranger" size and fine but doesn't mean it made sense, but it was cool. Maybe I should have used the word "optimal" again. The smallest goosenecks that people use are 14k GVWR. Most are 20-30k. Which means...
F-150 ās donāt have goosenecks/ fifth wheels. Iāve seen it twice in my life. Can be done. But probably shouldnāt be done. That being said if Elon does what he said I think the CT will be more capable than the F-150 in everything except range/ speed of āfilling upā.
I agree but a bug should not be pulling anything really. Just because something can pull it does not mean it should. Certainly not a camper. It also has the engine in the rear so that would be a ton of weight on the rear axle I agree. I could pull a semi trailer with my truck. But braking and...
For example a new F350 or 3500 DRW. All have about 20k lbs max trailer towing weight at the bumper. 35-40k lbs max gooseneck. Iāve probably hauled over 1000 loads. There is a huge difference in pulling a heavy trailer at the bumper vs gooseneck. It doesnāt feel nearly as safe and is more likely...
It didnāt take off because you need the weight over the rear axle. A gooseneck hooks directly to a ball that is mounted to the frame. You couldnāt haul any amount of serious weight like that. But still cool!
I agree to an extent. Right now its a crazy time and everything is in low supply. If you are coming out with a product you should know how hard it is. Yes, its very hard, but that's why they make billions of dollars. Elon Musk is always behind on products though. The CT delay is more...
Plus there will only be less people once production starts and the time to actually pay or sign some papers. There is also a lot more competition than when Tesla started taking reservations. The final truck design has changed and that means even more people will drop out. I'm 1.2 million in line...
Iāve been around telescopic forklifts basically my whole life. Which have crab/4 wheel steer. I think crab walk is a good marketing term. The crab feature is good for forklifts but the all wheel steer is the main function. You basically only use two wheel steer when loading onto a trailer or...
I'm not surprised, but I was hoping it would come sooner. Hopefully full on production will happen quickly. I can't wait to have a truck that can go 0-60 in 3 secs, tow 14k, and drive itself. Those are insane stats and I doubt anyone else will be competitive for a few years at the least.
