Okay. I'll suspend my disdain for racing across brackets. But, I was still impressed with the 12 second quarter mile time of the dual motor. I enjoy going to drag races and watching everything from top fuel to door slammers and outlaws. So, when I see two stock trucks make 11 and 12 second...

Well, I suppose it is time to make noise again. If Canoo comes out with a truck with an 8' bed, I'm dropping Tesla's CT. This event has a snowball's chance in Haiti. As for the Tesla experience versus a dealership experience, it is a mixed bag of ... shit. I have ordered a car from a Dodge...

Putting the wreck aside, the way the article is written is messed up. The writer acknowledges the fault of the accident is on the Honda. They departed from their lane on a road with minimal shoulder, left the road, over-corrected, and collided with an oncoming vehicle. That should be the end of...

I agree. Had they made 88mph, the wall wouldn't have been in the way. it would have just been a bunch of dirt, water, and scrub. I doubt Marty would have had a nice large bill board to hide the truck behind, though.

Nah, just take it through some mud. Problem solved!

Snark for snark bud. Your mansplaining was a bit much. The point I was making was that the truck doesn't need the protection of a shelter. Regardless of bullets or no.

Oh... I'm sorry. Impact resistant. I'm glad you pointed out the inaccurate minutiae of my statement. You are my hero for pointing it out!

I live in the mountains of Eastern Oregon. The temperatures here regularly reach double digit negatives in Fahrenheit without considering wind chill. Yes, I own a model Y and it is always parked outside. Yes, I have a garage that is actually 21' deep, but I use it as my shop. I do have the...

Is it worth it to purchase an electric truck made by a U.S. based corporation focused solely upon producing only electric vehicles and promoting sustainable infrastructure? Yes, without qualification. Am I disappointed? Absolutely. I've made no secret about my preference for an eight foot bed...

There will be when I make my overhead rack for mine.

Maybe it's because I am tired. Maybe it's because I just realized that this is pointless. I live the comparison between ICE and EV. I did the math, I considered used, I considered new, and even though I do ALL of my maintenance at my own shop without charging myself labor, I considered the real...

ummm... really?! No. Yes, they have become computer controlled, fuel injected; TBI, MPFI, and direct injection. Roller cams with hydraulic roller lifters or dual overhead cams without pushrods. There have been improvements with high volume and high pressure fuel pumps, Variable valve timing...

I will take that as a compliment. I know the market has moved trucks to glorified grocery carts for a family of 4. I keep my 1971 because I don't need to carry more than two passengers for more than rescuing people stuck by the side of the road. My experience in construction has always been as...

I agree with you. His calculations are wild! The 20mpg when talking about trucks is a fantasy. Especially when referring to full size trucks. The fuel economy is nominal at 12mpg, ranging from 6 to 8 mpg when hauling/towing, to maybe 18 on the freeway on cruise control without hills, without a...

I agree that we both have a difference of opinion. I do wonder where you are getting the dimensions and slope from. I have seen every iteration of the CT and each time the bed is a rectangle and flat, not a polygon. 6 1/2 feet in length and almost 5 feet wide. As for the F150, its design is...

Interesting. Is this a reference to the size reduction? At this point none of the offerings are an eight foot bed length, unless you consider opening the back of the cabin to the elements (Silverado pass through) acceptable, so none of them meet my minimum. Still, I expect the CT to be much...

D'at's FUnnY! No really, that is a joke. I am a Ford guy. I have three vehicles out of the four I own that are Ford. The fourth, or dare I say FIRST car is a Tesla model Y. I drive a 71 F250 because I cannot abide a short bed truck. I haven't been able to rationalize a new F250 because the...

I read this article. It was, to me, just one more hit piece. It used the alpha stage of the CT as a rationalization for bashing Tesla's build quality. I kept reading despite the writer's, and editor's, prejudice saturating the excessive word count masquerading as an article. Is the CT late...

I have squirt bottles and lighters at the ready. I even have a couple rolls of Scott tissue.

Money in the bank! This is probably a better financial plan than the stock market.
