The way I see it, design has always won, as long as the infrastructure is sufficient to allow utilization. The biggest drawback to all transportation is access to fuel. Currently EV's have advantage when the owner has direct access to electricity. Without the direct access, even a reliable...

He does talk too much and says little. I'm not impressed with the Chevy for a couple of reasons. The weight is massive for less than 3/4 ton. The 400 mile range is fine, but with all of the caveats it indicates a disbelief in actually making that range even unloaded and being extremely careful...

This is slightly tangential, but I was approached by a coworker at the end of my shift last night. He saw my Model 3 outside and came to ask me about how I like it. I clocked out at 2am and yet didn't leave for home until 3am. He had so many questions despite his good friend who bought an X...

I agree completely with the facts. I just remember the Terror and concern we had, as a nation(media storm) when GM and the rest of the Automakers were going under during the crash of 2008. The response from our government was a gentle scolding and a lot of financial coddling. Yes, they will...

I know this wasn't directed at me. But, I plan on keeping our Model 3 when I buy the Cybertruck. I will sell my F250 and my Dakota. I even have the tickle of a plan to sell the hybrid for a full electric (used or new). Also, if I can convince my better half to part with her super car, I would...

I hope the market is full of quality EV options. My opinion of GM's offerings is tepid, and I still see this as a playground for the wealthy and incorporated. So, my hope is tattered and wheezing. But alive it remains. I think, once the Cybertruck is FiNalLy in full production, the rest of...

I love that electric trucks are being conceptualized! I hope the chevy gets made without the expected elimination of the good stuff of the concept truck at the show. I've lost any expectation of a reasonable price though. What I haven't lost is my experience with trucks and the effects of...

As I read through this thread and consider the conversations, I do not think the Ryan is looking for a personal vehicle. I think he is angling to make some money on selling the Rivian second hand. I'm sure someone will take the bait. As the saying goes "a fool and his money is soon parted"...

Listening to him, he sounds knowledgeable. Yet, it comes down to aesthetics not performance. Honestly, I do not want a pretty pony. I want a stout horse or mule. I didn't get any new information from this. He repeats that he doesn't use or need a truck, yet he asserts that he knows what...

Considering? Not really. I have two trucks that I will keep repairing until the CT becomes available. The F250 is easily as strong as most trucks on the road, and equivalent fuel economy to the current 15mpg of modern trucks, and the Dakota is comfortable on the freeway with a bit better fuel...

Other than the ridiculous price tag the ride height of my 71 F250 is the reason I keep it running and usable.

Well, that was enlightening. I've been complaining about not having an eight foot bed option since the reveal of the C.T. which was the singular reason I delayed reserving one. Yes, I know it was a stupid move and I will have to wait my turn for a full year or more. Despite not having the...

No one knows about the cyber truck? 1/2 million reservations as of February 2021 from 146K on the first day. How many does the F150 have? 20K on the first day and now up to a whopping 45K as of last count? Uh huh... sure. Okay. You sound like you know what you are talking about. I would...

I have to admit, I have begun to enjoy your commentary. I stifle my commentary because I am uncomfortable being a fan boy, despite my best efforts, I am for Tesla. I am glad Ford is offering E.V. versions of their vehicles. Still, I recognize their efforts as posturing and brand marketing...

I am torn!! I want the world to transition to electric across all platforms, including inexpensive forms for those of us without strong cash flows. However, I do not trust the corporate decision makers at Chevy. They have a history of bait and switch. They are huge on announcement and thin...

You make a good point. After all, Musk has said many times he is building this truck with simple flat lines because the stainless is so hard, and the intent is to streamline the production. This would make a feature like the T-groove plate floor an aspect that could seriously slow the...

I thought they were off topic too. It reads like dismissal, and distraction to me. I was going to respond, but I will let this stand as my response and drop the hasty misspelling, and redirection as a waste of time and energy.

Yep, quartz is very hard stuff. I would expect granite, and sand to do a good job of scratching the stainless. How else will I be able to show that my truck has done work if it doesn't have a few scratches?!

I didn't see this question until just now. Are you sure you're a contractor?! Even with the spotty welds in my F250, the wheel wells encroaching on the bed, the filler neck tunnel for the fuel tank, and the hundreds of dents created when I've had a front loader dump aggregate into the bed from...

I do not question your qualifications. Nor do I disagree with the slats being dirt catchers. But unless the truck is built with materials other than the .30 stainless it will not be an issue with water, gravel, sand, or even cement. I may be a medical professional but do not assume that my...
