The other videos showed some engineering stuff I was unaware of and found interesting. Even though I have no desire to own a cybertruck I found the videos entertaining. Duuude on the other hand provided no new information and had 0 entertainment value... unless you consider those talking heads on TV that just talk shit to rile people up entertainment. |

Come on guys, Do you really think any of these EV trucks are designed to do truck stuff? Growing up on a farm my idea of "Truck Stuff" is most likely pretty different than what most EV truck drivers think is "Truck Stuff". If your idea of "Truck Stuff" is picking up a Christmas Tree then Elton has the vehicle for you

I'm not a petrolhead so not sure how I can do that. I'm a car guy... that means ALL cars. All cars may not be my personal taste, but I am interested in pretty much everything and anything. From classic muscle cars to luxury sedans to ipads on wheels.

Mark my words: You’ll come to regret it when AI decides you’re driving style is causing extraneous climate issues and 10MPH is all you’re getting today.

I could make equal arguments about how CAFE regulations are so ridiculous that they completely overlook large trucks with a certain sized footprint and over a certain GVWR in order to keep those cash cows rolling in for the manufacturer. You don't think there are complete shenanigans in ICE governmental regulation too? Way, WAY more than in EV. |

Oh we're summoning AI into the conversation now. Damn! No doubt I'm sure when our AI overlords turn us into batteries for their AI EVs I'll think back to this thread and say daaaaamn that guy on that BMW forum was totally right!

For a work-trucks that resides in a city, goes to a few or one work-site a day, maybe even tows a trailer, EV trucks make lot of sense. If it goes back to a yard where it can be charged overnight and it's not going on crazy long rural trips where it's driving constantly, it'll work great. There's a giant market for that. Even a lot of the regular work trucks and vehicles don't work for a lot of rural areas, so obviously it won't cover 100%, but again, it's a giant market that an EV work truck can definitely take advantage of.
Not the same as a "tow my boat 200 miles"-truck.

Well, that's a a lot better than an SUV or truck...those are the ones that have killed off sedans and wagons.

A truck.
With a frame made out of 1/8" stainless steel. History is doomed to repeat itself, eh? There's a reason why we stopped making steel frame vehicles in the 30s. I can't fathom why any sane individual would think a stainless steel fridge is even remotely safe to drive, regardless of ICE or EV powertrain. The thing sounds like and supposedly is an absolute death trap. Unless crumple zones are for chumps or something. I can see it now: who needs a crumple zone when you have autonomous driving preventing crashes? *yawn*

But hey, different strokes. On another subject - it’s so wild to me how well marketing (which is all these Cyber truck videos and car channels are for now) works. For a company that doesn’t have a media arm, it’s amazing how much Tesla stays in the news cycle despite selling less than 1% of the cars world wide - WITH over $15k+ in free money. 5rrriiiiigggggghhhhttttt |
