Yes, I agree. Hence my post which was basically “It very likely was”.

It also came loose in their own “crash test” video. They are built with car parts apparently, and not very strong parts at that.

As I posted to Toby Taylor:

That wasn’t the problem. Read the article. The CT didn’t even try - it shut down.

[...]posing with and showing the truck off by driving fast on LA streets

Maybe on the inside. A sloping rear end makes it necessary to push the rear seats forward.

It doesn’t matter if it was a stock Silverado or not. The CT shut down unless the other truck was in park. I bet even one of the heavier sedans out there would cause the CT to shut down its drive train, as it had nothing to do with pulling power, stock or not.

Sane people already laugh at the mere sight of one.

Again, I prefer solid colours, not metal flake paints. I don’t like chrome either. “Shiny” is not something I find attractive.

The VW UP! and it’s Skoda and Seat siblings are even smaller. But not a lot of manufacturers make small hatchbacks.

Ah, I see you’re either a Tesla owner or a wannabe Tesla owner. Perhaps even a Musk fan. I hope you were stupid enough to pay for that abominaton. Preferably stupid enough to pay over-the-odds as an “investment”.

Nope, I wouldn’t even drive a Tesla if I stole it. Hell, I won’t even be a passenger - especially not with the owner. Hell no!

I prefer “solid” colours over metallic ones. Ever seen a boat with metallic paint? It looks awful.

Yes, one manufacturer in particular always make stupid decisions.

I don’t think they will merely strand you. I think a lot of people will be pulled in before they find the brake (I mean, I don’t expect a CT driver/owner to know to cover the brake in such situations).

No, brushed electric motors burn out easily. Brushless does not. Are you saying that the CTs motors would burn out if trying to pull something or accelerating hard? If brushless motors overheat, it is protected and will shut down.

Boat ramps springs to mind.

Exactly. Failure from Musk yet again.

That would be stupid “fail safe”. Retreiving or launching your boat on your boatramp? Sorry, there is weight pulling the car backwards, so we will just kill the motors.

Hahaha!
