It's not the taxpayer's responsibility to fix companies that are failing.

Tesla is designing a truck to be better than an F150,


But it won’t be. As typical with Elon overpromise and underdeliver. They can’t even make the Model 3 right.

300,000 lb towing is one of the most ridiculous loads of shite I’ve ever read. That would bend the frame in half upon hitching

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

If not, why did you only say that about Tesla?

Poor example considering how well it's selling only 1 year in.

Explain to me how a f-150 sized truck could hitch to and safely tow 150 tons?

If you actually believe that you should have your license revoked

Musk the sleazy salesman is probably calling what Toyota did with the space shuttle "towing".

What are it's payload and towing capacity numbers? How far can it go on a charge, and how long to recharge?

Why does the Tesla pickup need to tow 150k tons to be better than the F150?

That makes no sense.

It’s going to be a truck that is more capable than other trucks. The goal is to be a better truck than a [Ford] F-150 in terms of truck-like functionality and be a better sports car than a standard [Porsche] 911. That’s the aspiration.

So, when they say it has a tow capacity of 300,000 lbs., that is pure, unadulterated bullshite, and they give a false representation of what towing capacity actually is. To put it more accurately, what they are actually saying is that the Tesla pickup can overcome 15,000 lbs. of resistance. Now, how that translates is a little more complicated than saying, well, “15,000 is five percent of 300,000”, because it’s not the only resistance you will encounter.

When a product manufacturer states a towing capacity for their vehicles, let’s say, 10,000 lbs., they’re saying that vehicle can tow 10,000 lbs. in all conditions that can reasonably be expected to be met.

I bet you think that sales are "ramping exponentially" wow you probably let Ewon bang your wife. My God read one freaking article that doesn't indicate a complete demand cliff. They aren't going to get close on the lowest bound guidance number. It's good for them though some they lose money on every car they sell lol
