EV's & Tundra's

One would think that Elon would have came up with something more truck refined? On looks alone I would almost bet that it will not be a big seller?
Does that have some sort of a bed? It looks very strange!

 

It's exactly like the other cyber trucks, just wrapped. Same bed as the others. It has a rolling/sliding cover.

 

First time seeing it like that^^^


Its almost weird in a good way?

 

Easy to miss the tidbits if you don't follow/aren't interested. Example: Scroll up and you'll see I thought I was sleuthing out some new shit, and @T-Rex266 and @Bob were just like "Old news, bruh."

 

Probably is, they'd find a way to make it so ugly no one would want one

 

Yes I am sure the ultra rich folks with lots and lots of money will not be able to live without one. I saw that post earlier, those be the folks that can say Looky here I HAVE ONE! the more this keeps going the more I am leaning to this might be a FAD thingy,,, but who knows??? The prices are unobtainable for many, but if it’s for sale there will be those that pay what ever it costs and think nothing of it.

We have all seen that the last three years with vehicle purchases.

 

You think they are expensive now, wait until the subsidies dry up.

 

Harmonic vibration of road noise

 

Long term, Tesla prices will continue to fall. Can't speak for the others though

 

Son of a bitch. I almost bought a reservation for giggles when they first opened them and the slot was like $100 or something silly cheap like that...

 

Wife got a new iPhone.

I transferred data & her Tesla app thing worked perfect.

go figure.

 

hearing chatter about Lithium shortage in a year or so.

what then?

EV's will be in a weird place.

 

This

Geologists have discovered a massive lithium deposit within the McDermitt Caldera along the Nevada-Oregon border, potentially revolutionizing the global lithium supply chain. The deposit is estimated to contain 20 to 40 million metric tonnes of lithium, with unprecedented quality that surpasses any previous find.


I thought I saw a report that said they will have plenty for a good long time. Maybe if anyone will be allowed to go after it? . HA!

 

They'll get to it. No price is too high and nothing is too sacred. Anything and everything will be sacrificed at the altar of "green"... for the greater good, of course.

 

Just got our annual registration for the MS.
Texas now adds $200 to registration fees to make up for fuel tax

damn shame

it’s simply laughable

 

Be glad they don't charge for the weight because of the added wear. You'd be paying what heavy trucks pay.

 

Teslas are awesome

 

Yuhp... OR does this on EVs as well; many of the state's and local 'initiatives' are taxed through the pump... Wouldn't be fair to us ICE for you EV guys to by-pass taxation

 

It's still bypassing it. $200 a year for 10K-15K miles vs the tax on gas, especially because EVs are heavier and do more wear/damage to the roadways than an equivalent ICE vehicle.

 

Get outta here with that!
Don't believe the lies that oil companies push out

 

The model Y is a 3 row? The Explorer is.

Model 3 vs Camry





Model S vs performance sedan





Model X vs performance SUV




Model Y vs midsize SUV (Highlander)









The model Y is the only one that is not solidly heavier than the examples grabbed with quick google-fu.

 

And the Y is heavier than some non-3rd row midsize SUVs.

 

3rd row is optional on the Y, I'm guessing the curb weight listed on Google would be the heaviest available?

Point is, there's not a landslide difference in similar vehicles.

I'll even bet EVs do less damage to roads than an ICE vehicle of the same weight. EV specific tires are all about minimizing rolling resistance for the best possible range.

 

So you're saying it'd hurt less for me to roll an 800lb barrel over top of you if I slathered it in butter first?

 

Let's do it! I know @Tripleconpanna would pay to watch a dude get covered in butter

 

WTF...
