I'm sorry but that's one of the ugliest vehicles I've ever seen.

I do like the look of the other Teslas though.

Those are just fake mock ups by people using photoshop

No one knows what the actual truck will look like

You're going to be waiting a loooooooong time, you do realize that, right?

Not to mention companies like GM have taken huge bail outs that had nothing at all to do with EVs

Oh, I'm sure that poster can't wait until those companies go out of business too for living off the government's teet, right?

If it's anything like the Model S P100D which put down on the dyno 920 ft lbs, it will not end well for the Ram.



It’s not about strictly torque. Weight and weight to tires is what matters. A dodge or f-350 that weighs much more and has more tire to pavement contact with similar torque would drag a Tesla like a rag doll

I wonder how much the towing will effect the battery range?

Translation:

It will cost $130,000 and they will sell 3500 of them if they don't go out of business first. And fine print will void battery warranty if used for towing.

I don't like it across the board. Tesla's existence depends on those credits.

Nissan, Ford, Chevy, Toyota, etc. don't.

Tesla is designing a truck to be better than an F150, so the way to bash them is to say it won't be as powerful as an F350?


FWIW, you're just answering that post, so that is really for the guy who originally made the 3500 Cummins comparison.

Have I come out in favor of those bail outs and I missed it?

I don't like Gov't subsidies or bailouts of companies. Companies need to handle their shite, and if not, let the market dictate their futures.

Have you ever once said you can't wait until those companies go under?

For the GMs of the world who have gotten bailouts, have you ever said you can't wait until they're no longer around?

They should have been allowed to fold.
