He’s giving the 6k-6500lb truck a 200 kwh battery, so ~3000 lbs. Adding 14k lbs means you need something like 7500 lbs in extra batteries to breakeven, plus more for the batteries themselves.

They’re already well into them, which is why you see 250 mile ranges rather than 4-500, with the battery weighing 1/3 the car. When your truck can tow more than double its weight, you’d need several thousand pounds of batteries to offset that, plus more to offset the batteries themselves.

Blogception.

I can’t imagine the constant rage at strangers on the internet is conducive to a long, healthy life...

Pusher trailers that you disconnect once they’re empty? Actually sounds like something you could offer at charging stations. Drop them off to be charged and pick up another if needed.

Batteries whose weight significantly reduce your range. You quickly hit diminishing returns, with a worse version of the problem rockets face as nearly their entire payload becomes fuel (but the battery doesn’t get any lighter as you use it up).

“Is here to give us the details” aka today’s issue of “We Found a Youtube Video to Summarize and Pretend We’re Associated With”...

CalTracs ground clearance at that ride height aside, for 90k+ couldn’t they have supplied brakes that filled those big wheels?

Do you think going through life as this much of a caricature is winning you converts?

Imagine being so confident in a worldview so narrow...

“Why won’t the people I screech at for their views share their views with me?!”

You think people are going to pay $1M for a *used* special edition GTR?  While new ones sit unsold?

I was also surprised: the suggestions met the needs of the requester! Less exciting than the 30 year old luxobarge you can’t get parts for but will look great outside your Brooklyn walkup, but actually useful!

Boys have GTIs, girls have GLIs.  Duh.

Go easy on them, this is the first car recommendation article I’ve seen where each suggestion fit the criteria requested, instead of being quirky hipster maintenance nightmares.

You may call it a T3, if you like.  TS, TX, T3 would be unique among the rest of the alphabet vehicles.

On my recent super-budget rental, I checked the fine print and saw they charge 8.99/gallon to refill.  I also played the dangerous game of filling up outside the city I had to cross to get to the airport.

Know how I know you haven’t been many places outside of America?

Might be worth it for the marketing.  Have the oldest/cheapest model make the trip (with a new S/X accompanying), and then you can say every car you’ve ever made can do it.

Why leave the obviously very incorrect F-150 width up? 97" would be more than a foot wider than stuff like the H1 and Diablo. A quick web search will give usable ranges, the punchline being they designed the Cybertruck to match the footprint of everything else
