>>Can your truck get to 60MPH in 2.37 seconds?<<

The better question: SHOULD your truck be able to get to 60mph in 2.37 seconds?

If you want to see a lot more dead teenagers, answer “Yes” to that.

Yah want even FASTER?

Try the new DEMON!

It'll yank the front wheels off the ground at launch!


This power boost has been achieved with the installation of a larger, 2.7-liter supercharger, boost pressure rising from 14.5 psi to 11.6 psi, HUH???

Amen!

People have asked me; "Why don't you go to the 500? It's just down the road from you."

I get enough thrills driving 465 where I'm IN the action!!

After careful consideration of your comments I think you should consider changing your meds. Whatever you are on is messing with your brain. I could go into detail regarding market share, production capabilities and profitability but it would be wasted in your current state.

You just hit on the two reasons why electric cars have never become mainstream, and most likely never will.

Don’t confuse ignorance with insanity.

There is another issue with Tesla’s business model that hasn’t been much discussed: their rejection of the dealership system that is a requirement for other manufacturers. Here in PA there isn’t any real support system. I have seen Teslas on a flatbed being trailered by Ford 350’s. I know a guy that owns one and it has needed service 3 times, all for software related issues. The first two times it was trailered to another stat and back 2 weeks later. The third time Tesla flew a tech guy out to his house all the way from CA. Knowing that Tesla did not make a penny profit, and probably lost money at the point of sale of the vehicle they are now out even more. It’s an insane business model.

You apparently don’t live in flyover country or, if you do, you must be in the center of one of the larger cities. Outside of those, a driver’s license is a rite of passage.
