I know what you did. You ignored the fact that one of those trucks is unibody construction while the other is body on frame and then pretended the numbers you came up with actually mean anything

You did the “math” on a unibody constructed out of SS? Hahaha, id love to see those made up numbers. The F-150 is body on frame and you just ignroed the frame and pretended the math still makes sense

He certainly has his faults as evidenced by his Twitter feed, but surely there is some possibility that he deserves at least a little credit for his accomplishments? His father was an engineer, not some real estate magnate (who he later severed his relationship with and said was a terrible human being). He got bullied…

Except he sells more electric cars than anyone else, with the best range and far and away the best charging infrastructure. And Tesla is a part-time gig for him.

Remind me of who is that other guy that created, from whole cloth, a successful American car company in the last, oh 100 years? And with a revolutionary design? And a successful aerospace company? And a successful tech/finance company (that’s Paypal in case you forgot)? I’m not even a Musk fanboy, but for fuck’s sake,…

If it’s so unimpressive, why hasn’t Ford, GM, or Ram been able to have a full EV pick-up truck yet?

Hah! Shows what those rubes in Knoxville know. It’s clearly a scalene triangle.

You think that’ David’s going to buy a new tool?  I’ve got betting money he takes a bunch of sticks, weaves them together, and makes a support basket for the cross member support.

San Francisco?

There is very little worth mentioning here. They used to limit people to 88% of the battery, and now they limit it to 91%. For a car getting 2-3 miles per KWH, thats 6-9 miles from just giving people access to more of the battery.

They can’t improve that color though. Delicious.  

Are we sure they didn’t just steal those miles from Porsche? 

If we use your logic you’d be happy if a econo car in its class that would tend to get around 35 MPG were to get 20MPG instead.

I feel like I have a better control over the situation using the paddle than I do driving it in L when lifting my foot off the accelerator activates regeneration, but I don’t have a great explanation in words other than that I own the car and I like the feature.

EV battery degradation is barely an issue. It was an issue back when the Nissan Leaf had air cooled batteries. But now that basically the entire industry has switched to liquid cooled batteries, they [Model S] expects only 10% degradation by 200,000 miles. Current gen Model S is 373 mile range, so at 200k you would…

It’s really fun to drive, and it’s got plenty of creature comforts for me - my hands hate winter so the heated steering wheel is great, and my Premier has the 360 view. The little regen paddle on the steering wheel is a nice feature which I find myself looking for on my family’s other car, a Pacifica PHEV.

Hey honey, remember that time last year I had to go to Lowe’s to get a bag of dirt for the plants on the balcony? Well it’s truck month and I can get a great deal on an F-250 right now.

Which data?

So he should just turn over a new Leaf every 100 miles?

While I know some people have an illogical range anxiety issue, what are the odds that anyone that buys this car is actually going to drive it 200 miles?
