If you get in a wreck in that thing you are dead. You need crush capacity in order to take away some of the energy in a car wreck.

Had to up the amp on a plug outside, but mine charges at about 28 mph. I'd say my bill is about $30 more...but I drive a ton

Welp I put my 100 dollar deposit down on the trimotor awd that'll be ready in 2023. Hope I have the money by then and am still amongst the living

Same here and also for the $7000 self driving feature. I figure it’ll be a collectors item at a minimum Iike a Delorean.

What sort of maintenance do you have to do other than new tires? Any idea on the life span of these vehicles?

I don't think a truck that looks like that will ever appeal to most current truck drivers. That's a niche market vehicle at best.

Wait wait wait... the Tesla fan boys said this truck would put Ford and GM out of Business and thats what they rolled out?

$100 says this never reaches production

For current Tesla owners how long does it take to charge at home and how much did your electric bill go up?
I don't see much of a difference but really don't track my electricity bills. It couldn't be more than $20/month.
That being said for me, I just started a new job with free charging, so that's a huge plus and I do 90% of my charging free from work now.

quote:Those were all fan renderings, we've never seen any drawing from Tesla.
In the original thread on here about the expected truck, they said towing capacity would be 300,000 lbs. We all thought that must have been a typo. They also had about 6 different renderings. One of them actually looked like a truck. Is that one dead?
They did a great job of keeping the look of the truck top secret...unfortunately.

quote:Tesla's other vehicles rank among the safest, why do you think this truck won't? You can't tell how something is going to crush just by looking at it. The lack of a huge engine under the hood makes it easier to design crumple zones.
If you get in a wreck in that thing you are dead. You need crush capacity in order to take away some of the energy in a car wreck.

Technically, you have brakes as well obviously. But I believe with the regen braking, you don't need to change your brakes until you get to something like 160k miles if I recall. I'll never hit that #, so I don't factor it into routine maintenance.

This is so badass i'm gonna buy 2. One of them i'm gonna put some hydrolics on the front and jack it up and put some spinners on it. The other i'm gonna jack it up and put some oversized mud tires. Weeeeeedoggie can't wait for this.

I think something that looked more like a futuristic, regular pickup would sell much better. Something like this I guess.

And the $70k version having 500+ mile range and 0-60 in 2.9 is insane. Faster than a Porshe and would easily outpull any comparable pickup. This truck could have been a serious contender if it just looked normal. The way that truck looks...no chance.
They will sell the hell out of those if the numbers stay the same and they tame the design.
