Still glad I cancelled my early reservation. I like the car, but after figuring out that they weren’t actually going to let me buy one at $35,000 it didn’t make sense anymore for my household. Practically bait and switch... false advertising at another level.

I like Tesla, but have to thank Elon for making me see the

Solid core with gas... I didn’t even use up my first roll of flux core before I bought the gas tank for my Hobart 140... What an amazing difference gas makes when welding.

Though that did produce some wonderful 700cc imports.  :)

I generally avoid touching other people’s shit... More importantly, I really avoid touching other people’s shit when that shit is worth more than I can possibly pay for it...In my life time. It’s also called respect.

True... But the MOAB label is fucking wasted on it. 

In contrast to GM?  :)

You know... As good with money as I am or think I am, I want you to find me our next car...

Previous truck was a dodge... I kept it 13 years and other than a couple items early on that were covered under warranty it had been the best vehicle I had ever owned to that point. Now I’m in an F-150 that is six years old and it has had zero issues.    They all have come a long way and the old dodge is shit

Meh. If this mild hybrid doesn’t cost more or significantly more then the extra MPG is a good thing certainly. If this truck sells at competitive pricing as compared to GM/Ford then it is an attractive option.

At current gas prices in NC and 12,000 miles a year this would only net about $230-$250 in yearly fuel cost

His point was that his little and lighter outback’s MPG quite frankly sucked in comparison to a much more massive vehicle that now gets the same mpg... That is progress.

Have a Retrax Pro (but not the one with the gimix motorized shit).

My clam shell always wanted up... There was no 90%... Wasn’t supposed to drive with it up anyway.
I’ll keep loving my Retrax.

Uhm... WHY? I owned a clam shell ARE on my last truck and went all out on the new truck and installed a Retraxx Pro rollup.

Odd because I’ve known plenty that have pretty much fucked up their back health early in their trucking days to regret it.

Fuck all nothing. I had my reservation refunded when Tesla decided to only sell premium models first followed by production issues.

I love Tesla for what they do and have done and understand the challenges they face... That said, the Model 3 to me was a Tesla I was supposed to be able to afford and my early reservation

Holy shit... Looks like a winner. Never knew that... and the tail lights look to be right too.

Looks like a very long bed... too long a bed to be on a Tundra Crew cab... I assume that is an 8 foot bed on a 3/4 ton.

Ah come on man! Where else are you going to get a chance to buy an anniversary model every 5 years?  /s

I go camping where there are no decent hotels.  :)

Fucking waste of an article. Show me that thing towing a 30 foot camper and write about how well she towed it.

That little trailer doesn’t represent most campers towed by a 1/2 ton.
