POS.
Look like a good truck for city guys to make trips to the gay bar...
If it was Elon who said that, guaranteed it will never happen.
He’s also said the Roadster would literally fly with thrusters and the glass on his semis would withstand a nuclear blast.
Wondered what that was.
[Will this be a “daily driver”?]
You betcha. I ain’t building my old cars for my health or to be garage queens. Also daily drive a 57 Bel Air and hopped up 67 Camaro.
[My pickup is a 1937 Chev 1/2 ton. I have a 1957 235ci six mated to a 700R4 and a 12” posi. I plan to keep it til I die.]
We may look stupid, but we can see the cliff the Green Dems are driving us over. Our vehicles will be on the road, hopefully with family members, 100 years from now while the Teslas will be recycled pop cans.
They’re well on their way - the stock is down 70% from its high.
I’d rather have a ‘69 Chevy half ton like I had before.
So far, everyone of these electric trucks have come in at YUGE $$$ to buy.
Who do they think the’yre marketing these for?
Ain’t us rednecks, country boys, ranchers, small farm farmers or workmen, that’s for dang sure.
Wealthy ignorant liberals......................
I have a 5.5’ bed in my Tundra. I also have a utility trailer that I use all the time. And I bought the truck so I could haul a horse trailer (with horses).
I don’t need to haul 6,000 pounds often, but when I do, I do! 10,000 pounds of towing capacity gives me some slop to play with. But it isn’t a work truck for me. It is a tow something truck. I used to tow the utility trailer with a Nissan XTerra and the Tundra is SOOOO much better at it!
“The U.S. automakers keep cranking out those electric Edsels.”
Somebody should electrify an old Edsel. They could call it an eEdsel.
I’m sorry.
Why anyone would trust an EV truck made by a company that has a track record of frames cracking is beyond me.
My Ram 1500 will go from Abilene, Texas to El Paso with a ton in the back, 453 miles. Without the ton it will do in excess of 500 miles. What will the electric Ram do, particularly in the winter with cold batteries and the heater on in the cab?
I have nothing against electric vehicles when they can deliver the same performance as gasoline and diesel powered at the same price.
I can fill that Ram up with Gasoline in El Paso in about 5 minutes and return home with no stops.
So,do you own some hydrogen wells?🤨
You’re going to need a couple a hundred of those to charge your EV pickup in any reasonable time.🙄
No your not.😏
