Saw one in the wild this morning.

https://i.imgur.com/98344e2.png

Pretty cool, though I don't think I could ever get myself to own something that looks like this. It's a little out there lol.

[SkinnyPupp]

Pure comedy. It's almost like a troll on people who would buy one?

Maybe all cars will look like it 10 years from now though, who knows? Credit for doing something different at least.

[Dbone]

That makes the XM look gooooood.

[punkwax]

I have a personal rule not to judge any vehicle by photos alone. I will need to take a hard look in person at this one before I form an opinion.

Agreed with Skinny, credit to Tesla for doing something so wildly outside of the box.

If camper mode becomes a thing we might see plenty of these, or similar variations of, down the road due to unaffordable housing.

Then our grandchildren’s grandchildren will be rocking them on mars looking at earth as a giant national park that needs to be preserved. :okay:

[68style]

What a blight on the road, look at it size wise compared to like a frickin Jeep Cherokee next to it? It's twice the size of an already mid-size SUV? And for what purpose, can't carry shit all in the back of it with that slope.

Yah, looks super good for the environment. No raw material wastage there at all. going to be almost 7,000lbs... Rivian is 8,500... anybody driving a normal car getting into an accident with one of these doesn't stand a chance.

My friend's CTR got hit by a red-light running Tesla Model X and both cars were fucked up. CTR was completely destroyed and the Model X no longer had a front end.

[68style]

Well there's nothing in the front end of a Tesla, just a collapse zone... so that makes sense.

[trollface]

I think modern vs modern cars are fine. The dead ppl will be anyone driving something the 90's or even early 2000's.

I keep telling my co-worker that a 96 Camry on used, mistached is frugal and all but you're gonna die.

[68style]

THAT'S ALL I DRIVE TROLLYFACE

[trollface]

Do I work with you? Bridgeport Wendy's?

Bro, the fries have been jacked up for weeks.

[teggy604]

with modern cars and all the techs, you would think the accident rate should be going down. Especially with EVs that are computers on wheels, and connected to the internet at all times. Gov't can easily regulate the speeds limit of these cars by GPS. They can set school/park zones speed limits as well as hwy speed limits.

[68style]

Well, I wrote that before you threw in the 96 Camry edit... but my newest car of 5 is a 2004 lol

Someone else is responsible for your fries not being unjacked.

[RabidRat]

Lol there was that NHTSA video that showed an old car being crashed into a new car and the old car gets destroyed. There's an interview with them at the end: "what happened?"

https://memecreator.org/static/images/memes/5617808.jpg

We're getting to the point now where a new set of videos will get released. New cars getting crushed by newer cars.

https://www.mememaker.net/static/images/memes/4880672.jpg

I don't see a problem here, just need to be the bigger fucker. Crush or be crushed!!

[RabidRat]

I guess that's true too. Eventually when autonomous driving gets dialed in, you'd hope we'd be able to get off of the vehicle weight arms race :D.

[trollface]

The weight arms race won't go away. Weight is the last thing on the list for most consumers. Batteries, screens, heated/cooled seats, new safety standards, 16 airbags, batteries. The only way to cut weight is if we start building cars out of carbon or magical batteries.

[Manic!]

Saw one at the Peterson museum in LA. It's just as ugly in real life. Have a day 1 pre order.

[JDMDreams]

Are those plastic fender flares or metal? Also are those the final wheels? I thought they would do some aero wheels like the rest of the range

[tegra7]

Probably got the wheel caps off.

Majority of pickups are driven to commute, or drive to a strip mall, and might see a trip to home depot or lowes once in a blue moon. What you are describing can basically be said for all pickups lol.

[twitchyzero]

like every half ton it's too big for within vancouver but i still wanna see it go in production
sharp price drop and stack incentives could be good buy if they make a mid-size one

just wait till you meet a cyber truck owner lol

that'll probably be the best part, so much hate coming your way but just drive off like that 50 cent gif lol

[Great68]

Too late Tesla. I don't see any normal truck dude getting this when the Lightning and Silverado EV are available.

[Koflach]

Too late Tesla. I don't see any normal truck dude getting this when the Lightning and Silverado EV are available.

I think not. I have heard from numerous people in the construction industry that have placed multiple pre-orders for Cybertrucks. No questions that some have moved on to the lightning but the benefit of the Tesla charging network and convenience of the bed size and features of the cybertruck will win over a lot of people.

I'm still mourning the speculated concepts that were floating around prior to the official announce, when it was going to look like this:

https://d1lss44hh2trtw-cloudfront-net.cdn.ampproject.org/i/s/d1lss44hh2trtw.cloudfront.net/assets/article/2019/11/06/tesla-truck-concept_feature.jpg

Looks like an Isuzu VehiCross!

Then the reveal came and I was aghast. But in denial and disbelief I still put a deposit down anyway lol.

Because imo you're right: despite what it looks like, and what one might think about the CEO, Tesla has nailed it with the supercharger network and core EV tech. Non-Tesla EV ownership is like "well it's pretty annoying it isn't as good at actually being an EV as a Tesla, but I will accept that because X Y and Z."

Tbh if the Cybertruck had ended up looking like the above, I probably would've gotten that instead of the Rivian. It's too bad lol. That's a good size too: it's like Maverick sized, and look how well those are selling. People really just want an inexpensive off-road capable crossover with some DGAF space in the back. Throw in a GMC-style passthrough folding mid-gate, and you solve the bed length problem too.

Also it's way late, probably just solely because it was hard to manufacture the stupid cold-rolled stainless steel allegedly-exoskeleton that nobody asked for. Damn it why!!

[Koflach]

There's always going to be luddites who will refuse to give up their 1994 Ford F-350 but the majority of truck drivers are not these people. One company I work with just bought their site supervisors F150 lightnings and traded in their ICE F150's as they can get a new vehicle for significantly less than they were spending on fuel.

Other than people who use their truck for work are the soccer mom's/baseball dad's and hicks with small dicks. Most of the mom's and dad's will have no problem with either the Lightning, Rivian or Cybertruck. If they already have a Model S/3/X/Y, the odds of them getting the Cybertruck are really high.

For the hicks, they will get buried in their gas guzzler.

Personally, I really like the look of the Rivian and am not a big fan of the Cybertruck's looks but I would never buy an EV that can't use the Tesla Supercharging network as it is so easy to use.

[RabidRat]

Lmao take your thanks; some of that hick stuff was pretty catchy.


I would never buy an EV that can't use the Tesla Supercharging network as it is so easy to use.

Often it's not even that it's easier to use, it's that all the alternatives are such a broken experience, at least as of right now.

Last December, on the day I took delivery of the R1T, a buddy and I did the 1500km drive up to Vancouver to visit over the holiday break. Mix of Electrify America, EVgo, etc. 1 in 2 attempts to initiate a charge would straight up fail on the first try. And even if it eventually worked, wouldn't deliver the full charging speed. You'd get maybe 50kW or 100kW at a 350kW charger. 1 in 3 would just straight up never work, so you have to hop to another charger (if any don't have a long line: often not). So you call the support number and asked them to reboot the machine for you, sometimes over and over til it works, sometimes never recovers. And - critically - 1 in 5 times, none of the friggin chargers at a station work at all, and things get a little desperate looking on the map for the next closest charger, sometimes having to backtrack a long way, and on very few miles left on the battery. Frustratingly, the map shows plenty of Tesla superchargers all around lol. A hickup here and there on a trip is fine, but when your mind consistently has to be in survival mode, it takes a little away from the experience.

At least with Tesla now opening up supercharger access to other makes, things will get better. Even if they charge a premium, at least now in a non-Tesla EV you no longer run the risk of getting stranded on a road trip. And fortunately, it happens that I get away with doing most of my charging at work (for free), but that's not everyone's situation.

[MarkyMark]

Personally I don't see the cybertruck taking off. Sure some tech geeks with money that think they want a full size truck might buy one but they'll soon realize they don't actually want a big truck for just city driving and EVs ain't it if you actually do use your truck to tow long distances.

The full size truck market is though to crack. Nissan failed, Toyota has a small piece of the pie in the full size market even though they dominate the midsize market. People who buy full size trucks aren't just ditching the brand they like for some newcomer, especially with a design like that.

Depends on the site, I actually hate trucks, but unfortunately my organization's fleet is 75% trucks... we were basically given a Lightning standard range and I can't even find anyone willing to drive it as anything more than a get around town and science equipment vehicle if they don't have to go far. Range dissipated down to 143km in the winter,

We mostly need payloads of 5,000lbs+ and towing 15,000lbs+ and there isn't currently an electric that can do it... not even close... and especially in all the remote sites we work out of around the province.

It's getting there, but not as fast as anyone would like and the costs are insane. I can still buy a F-350 for $63,000 and a Lightning extended is $90,000 and can't even do half the work the 350 can.

Lol.. you’re discounting a huge portion of people who have travel trailers, toys, etc. that these trucks will never be able to replace.

Try towing an enclosed trailer with 4 snowmobiles with a model X, good luck.

I thought with gas prices the way they are these toy haulers and camper trailers etc. would be dieing a slow death, but over the past few summers/falls I’ve never seen so many rigs out on the road in Kamloops/Kelowna/Penticton. Etc

Also, jobs like the pipeline etc. there isn’t one electric truck because that would be a huge burden

[Manic!]

This truck is going to be a massive hit. Tesla has over 1.9 million pre-orders already. That's a 5 year wait if you order one now.

https://www.gizmochina.com/2023/07/24/tesla-cybertruck-pre-orders-wait-time-5-years/

[EvoFire]

^ I have my doubts. It just simply looks way too big. I don't think people realize how massive in size the Cybertruck will be. It might sell out for the first 2 years but I think by year 3 you'll be able to get one easily.

[Badhobz]

First ones will catch on fire or be so poorly assembled that you’ll basically be living at the dealership

Then after 2-5 years it’ll be a semi feasible product and by that time the design is already outdated or the revision /mid cycle refresh will be out.

[underscore]

Weren't "preorders" only $100? Tons of those are going to be people who are just hoping they can flip it for a profit.

I have a feeling a lot of the interest will die out once people realize how hard it'll be to find a parking space for it and how much truck-sized consumables cost.

[68style]

Tesla built just over 1 million cars GLOBALLY in all of 2022... how can anyone think they're going to be able to add 375,000 CyberTrucks to that annually?

Nevermind the fact Ford+Chevy+Dodge built/sold over 1.5 mill trucks in 2022 in the USA alone

I don't think too many of those preorders are going to translate into actual orders, especially when people see the price lol... gonna be over 6 figures in Canada... half my friends put down a deposit on one and like 2 of them have the means to buy such a vehicle IF they want it

[MarkyMark]

$100 refundable deposits are considered sales now?

The police will be all over these. It's fast, bullet proof, and has a ton of storage for gear in the back. Oracle is already working on software for the police. It will integrate with the screen and all the camera's.

This one has a Toyota wrap.

Cdn deliveries expected next yr? I figured the tri motor would be $110K, now with talk of quad motor it has to be upwards of $150K. With high interest rates and 3rd consecutive year of work cutting my pay, if order finalizing happens before next June I’ll likely pass. Or thinking out loud I could sell a bunch of cars and get it.

Hey mall crawling is a real thing. Who wouldn't want to DD a lifted Gladiator with 40" mud terrains. lol. Obviously gas and money is no issue. Same with people that drive 100K cars that will switch every 5 years.

[JDMDreams]

There was some pics of it next to a rivian and I think it's actually smaller than a rivian so it's not that big.

[Hehe]

North American lifestyle really calls for a pickup, especially when you have kids and you want to enjoy that outdoor lifestyle. Be it bikes, snowboards, the occasional load at HD/Ronas... whatever.

I always thought of buying one but never actually pulled the trigger because 95% of the time, it'd be driven as a normal car and it's just too much.

The way CT was designed, I think it fits the regular Joe perfectly. It's got no paint... so you can beat the shit out of it. It has a motorized tonneau cover, which IMO is crucial to differentiate itself from a work truck vs. a regular folk lifestyle. In work setting, you don't really care the motorized part, but for average consumer, it'd be so much nicer/easier in life.

What really pushed me over, other than being a total Tesla freak was the supposed 500miles of range. That'd be the only version I'm interested of getting. It's the perfect range of a day worth of driving. By the time I'm done driving 500 miles or so, it's about time to find a hotel and call it a day on a road trip with kids.

For those who commented it being too big, it's actually slightly shorter and narrower than a F150. So, relatively compact as far as a full size pickup goes.

[Hondaracer]

If you own a detached home, a truck is almost a necessity.

Since I’ve got rid of my truck it’s a huge headache to do even small projects around the house. Unless you have a full sized SUV along the lines of Escalade, explorer, etc. you just can’t carry big shit around.

Like, I needed a 12 foot 1x2 and there’s no way I can get it home.

This whole idea of like Europeans don’t need trucks so why do you?!?!

Because most Europeans live in apartments not big single family homes like a lot of North America.

[JDMDreams]

Yea I think I need a van again, I bought some Costco garage racks and it was a bitch to fit inside a model 3 and fit 4 people + dog. Can't afford the gas for an Escalade, even something like a rx350 or x5 won't fit comfortably :QQ:

Rent a u-haul trailer for the day to carry it back. Its pretty friggin simple without resorting to such a huge vehicle for the odd time you need to move such crap.

[MarkyMark]

I daily an F150 and it's really not that bad. If you lived downtown then perhaps not but other than that it's pretty rare that I find it too large to drive around.

Now that I have a kid the extra room is nice, and if you're moving something that's dirty as fuck you just throw it in the bed and not think twice about it.

The only time it can get annoying is parking spots that are too small for even a regular size car. You get used to parking further out to where there's more space, but I did that back when I had a car too to avoid door dings.

I know lots of people with trucks and my dad has a new truck I can borrow at will, but it’s still a huge headache and I can’t just go and do what I want when I want, its moreso arranging things well ahead of time which I hate

I've moved stuff like that with my wifes old Matrix lol. Pop up hatch glass is awesome. Now I just toss it on the roof of the Rav or pop the glass on my Grand Cherokee. Unless you're doing a lot of big jobs you can get away without a truck pretty easily, but even then I'd rather buy a utility trailer. Way easier to load and unload and you don't have to drive a truck all the time.

Well if I had a truck I could grab a box load of soil for top dressing, materials, etc.

I don’t need it as much now that I’m done most of my Reno’s but I would have been screwed when I was in the midst of it.

An example of how much more shit costs to get it delivered etc.

Landscape depot on grandview charges like $50 for a yard of sand soil mix if they load it into your box. The same load delivered was like $180.

For me it’s not just that type of stuff, I’d be more into buying toys like dirt bikes etc. if I had a truck, whereas having only a car now, it’s completely out of the question

Not to mention that Badhobz car probably sucks back more gas then a 5.0 coyote lol

This truck “hate” or distaste for trucks, is it because trucks are “big” ?

Because both my buddies new 2.7 eco boost as well as the newer 3.6 eco boost are getting 1000 kms per tank at about $200 a fill up. So they aren’t worse than many cars on the road right now. So people don’t like trucks because they are big?

The new F150 Lariat interior SHITS on -anything- from Toyota, Honda, Tesla, etc. hell, it’s even far nicer than Rivian imo. like night and day how nice their interiors are

[Badhobz]

I don’t hate trucks at all. I totally get it. I drove a taco around Seattle for a rental and was in love.

I can’t justify it. Sports cars are easy to justify. More expensive sports car = larger the pee pee. I thought everyone knew that.

Truck I can afford

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/6571200822963030/?mibextid=2JQ9oc

Kinda want, but I would want an enclosed canopy so people don't just grab shit and steal. More than enough for bikes, Costco toilet paper, wheels, engines :considered:

[JDMDreams]

Bigger the truck the smaller the pee pee :QQ:

I don’t hate trucks at all. I totally get it. I drove a taco around Seattle for a rental and was in love.

I can’t justify it. Sports cars are easy to justify. More expensive sports car = larger the pee pee. I thought everyone knew that.

[Badhobz]

I saw this 5’1 dude come out of a f250 once. He jacked it up and literally had to hop down 3 feet just to disembark.

I don’t know what’s more embarrassing, the truck or the dude driving it.

Not you but other people here seem to dislike trucks because they are big or Theres a perception that it’s like a red neck thing to drive a regular half ton pickup? Lol I don’t get it

[MarkyMark]

I think the jacked up diesels on 37's are what people think about when 'trucks' are brought up, but a regular half ton 4x4 with snowflake all terrains will be way more useful than most vehicles on the road all year round.

[underscore]

For me trucks are boring to drive because their size kills any feeling of speed and the driving dynamics are extremely bland. I've done a fair number of long drives on Albertan highways in crappy F150s feeling like I'm only going 50 for hours on end and it was miserable. Fuel economy has improved but consumables like tires are still more expensive. Winter performance is worse than an SUV. Visibility when driving isn't very good. They can't fit in my garage so I'd have to work on everything in the driveway. And anything I'd put in the bed I can put somewhere else more easily anyways.

For other people because modern trucks are so bloated they can't see anything so they drive like idiots. They don't fit into lots of parking spaces so they're constantly sticking out blocks the road in parking lots. And they're always the ones speeding and then crashing in the winter.

Trucks in the city are stupid. Too big to park, shit on gas (in the city).

Trucks in rural areas make sense, as you likely do shit that needs a truck, still most people don’t need a truck.

Red necks live in rural areas.

I’d love a truck lol. I’d also agree, some of the interior packages in these things is mucho impressiv-o.

Compare that to a modern car though. A G37 has never been the epitome of efficiency, but that goes with a lot of the “luxury” vehicles. I just compare to fuel efficient vehicles because I’m cheap :p. They “can” get similar mileage to tiny little RAV4 which is pretty impressive.

[blkgsr]

I daily an F150 and it's really not that bad. If you lived downtown then perhaps not but other than that it's pretty rare that I find it too large to drive around.

Now that I have a kid the extra room is nice, and if you're moving something that's dirty as fuck you just throw it in the bed and not think twice about it.

The only time it can get annoying is parking spots that are too small for even a regular size car. You get used to parking further out to where there's more space, but I did that back when I had a car too to avoid door dings.

i had a 2017 ram 1500 laramie from new....sold it just before it hit 5 years. loved that truck. miss it. drove great, lots of features and i could go anywhere or drive over things

sure my Q5 is nice but so was driving a big truck where people got out of your way on the highway and SSOOO much more room. now with a kid the q5 sucks.

Old couch the boy destroyed? She gone.

Tons of green waste from the yard that I can’t be bothered to hack down to bin size? Toss it in the box.

I’ve done plenty of dump runs. Cleared up a lot of garage space. I needed a truck and didn’t realize how much I did until I owned one.

Gonna have to disagree with underscore as well. I have the 3.5L ecoboost and it is fun as hell to drive (for me). Also scratching my head at the visibility comment. I can see why people are braking ahead and I’ve seen views from bridges that I didn’t know existed lol

[Badhobz]

do you truck owners ever feel guilty about just throwing crap into the box? if i spent 80k on a truck id be kinda hesitant / worried about scratching the box with crap.

especially when the crap im putting in the box is often garbage going into the dump

Also WTF is with the pricing of these f150's!? they start at 48k now!??! for a 2 seater with hubcaps?

4x2 not even a 4x4 and its almost 900 dollars a month on a lease. holy crap

Also why an f150 or larger vs a smaller truck like a taco or a ranger? im not sure what the benefit of a bigger truck is unless you wanna tow something really heavy.

Yah spray-on bedliner is a must, it boggles my mind when I see people carrying shit in their trucks without one.

[punkwax]

Yes, towing but I also have 3 kids so we need the extra space.

[Great68]

unless you wanna tow something really heavy.

Yes.

My 20' tandem axle travel trailer would basically max out the tacoma, dry.

It's nice to have headroom and flexibility. At the time we were looking for a truck (2019, before the big pandemic surge in truck prices), tacomas were pretty much the same price. Might as well get more truck for the buck. We didn't know what size of trailer we'd eventually end up getting, and I'm glad we went with the size we did. Anything smaller would have been just too small. It's also nice to go to the soil yard and fill up twice as much as the small truck used to.

Also now after owning it for 4 years, I realized the interior space of the crew cab is nice. (originally thought we'd just want an extended cab, but so glad we got the crew)

We're fortunate enough that we don't need to daily it.

I personally get no enjoyment out of driving it though, it's a la-z-boy on wheels.

[68style]

Even as a bigtime truck hater, I have to admit at one point in my previous job when we leased a brand new Ram 1500 fancy whatever edition with the 5.7 in it, the Mercedes influence on the interior was extremely noticeable and I did kind of enjoy driving around East Van above everyone mumbling to myself about hemispherical combustion chambers

[Badhobz]

Kinda want a f150 now.

I like the dip in the window sill so you can lean your arm out of it. I like the fold out center console so you can take a farmer business meeting and even that little metal stick in the tailgate to help old fat fucks like me to get into the box

They really thought of everything

[JDMDreams]

[EvoFire]

Also why an f150 or larger vs a smaller truck like a taco or a ranger? im not sure what the benefit of a bigger truck is unless you wanna tow something really heavy.

The pricing isn't that far off, you get around the same fuel economy, so unless you really can't fit a bigger size truck, or you plan to overland it in some tight stuff, the F150 makes more sense every single time. I like the Taco but I don't understand why it's so popular.

[Great68]

Perceived Toyota "reliability/indestructibility"?

(Just look past those 2011-2017 years where toyota was replacing entire frames under warranty.)

[68style]

Reputation and reliability...

I know it's all anecdotal and I'm sure lots of F-150 owners have no problems... but I used to run a vehicle fleet that had a lot of Taco's and F-150's in it and the maintenace folders for the F-150's were an inch thick after 3 years whereas the Taco's never had anthing but mileage reports in them. I think we went through at least 15 Taco leases and I never once saw a mechanical or warranty issue. The F-150's were just constant recalls and problems. Super annoying. The V8 is better but the 3.5 ecoboost... fuckkkk

[Great68]

I've been pretty lucky so far, only non wear-item (Ie tires/brakes) issue I've had to date was the water pump, which I just did myself last July.

The advantage of the last year of the model generation I guess, most of the TSB's and recalls already taken care of. My dad certainly had a few more issues with his 2013 ecoboost, but he's pretty modded. The (aftermarket) boost pipe blowing off the (aftermarket) throttle body is hardly a ford problem :P

[underscore]

I always thought the interior quality of the F150s I got was pretty meh, but the Taco I had once was dangerously gutless on the highway and there weren't even any hills where I was. My parents Frontier was way nicer to drive despite being considered a dated design. But as they learned, in BC you need to have a fair bit of overhead between your towing capacity and what you actually want to tow if you plan to go out of town.

Gonna have to disagree with underscore as well. I have the 3.5L ecoboost and it is fun as hell to drive (for me).

I'm legitimately curious what part of the driving dynamics you find fun.

Also scratching my head at the visibility comment. I can see why people are braking ahead and I’ve seen views from bridges that I didn’t know existed lol

Visibility in the area immediately around the vehicle. With how needlessly high and long the hood and dash are in new trucks the blind area up front is quite large at crosswalks and in parking lots. Out the sides isn't great either when the bottom of the window is above my cars roof lol.

[jcmaz]

I will never buy a Ford. I had a brand new 2021 F150 XL as a work truck. It was fully loaded with an aluminum canopy, job materials, and tools.

I got flagged to stop the truck since the rear passenger wheel was visibly wobbling when the truck was in motion. I pop open the hub cap to find 4lug nuts on backwards, halfway off of the wheel stud and 2 lug nuts completely off.

https://i.ibb.co/5xrpnvB/Screenshot-20231019-113339-Whats-App.jpg (https://ibb.co/rfx8cM4)

[Great68]

I have a hard time believing it came out of the factory like that. You can even see witness marks on the cones of the lugs that it had one point been torqued up properly.

Someone removed that wheel and put it back wrong.

[68style]

How is a hub that rusty on a brand new truck?!?! You can't even put lugs on that way, what is there to tighten them with beyond your hand?

[JDMDreams]

How do you have a wheel wobble that like and you don't feel it?!

[underscore]

with the shape or the nuts and the wheel you couldn't do that very easily, you'd have to really want to put them on like that.

I've had both and the F150 is by far my favorite. The gas mileage is very similar even though my F150 has a V8, and the Taco had no balls. The interior room alone makes the F150 worth it.

The Taco is a basic bitch truck that will last you forever if you plan to keep it that long. I've had my F150 almost 9 years now though and it's been great.

One word: Liberating.

Yeah that's a good word to describe it. And not just liberating in the sense that you can now haul whatever you want, heave whatever you want into the back with reckless abandon (and then responsibly strapping it down of course), because yeah I agree that is all liberating.

It's not just that.

It's the fact that you're not longer contained by pavement. That's a feeling of freedom that I never got, taking my S2000 and the R6 through mountain twisties. It's about knowing that you could go wherever the heck you want. Wherever you see, you can go. Not just veering off the beaten path: making your own path. Literally and metaphorically. Nothing holds you back.

Think of the first time you rode a bike. The first time you drove a car. It's like that: it feels like a whole new level of freedom.

Also, parallel parking is now easy mode because curbs are no longer a thing.

Remember how we had to crawl across speed bumps diagonally or else car would scrape? Now you don't even have to slow down for speed bumps; you don't even feel them. Unless you want to, but it's your choice!

[twitchyzero]

From another site.

interesting - if it really was a Tommy gun, as in Thompson submachine gun, that's a .45 ACP which is a fair step up from the initial 115gr 9mm they claimed.
No way it's going to stop a rifle round, that isn't a realistic expectation. Stopping a .45 is already a step up.

In BC you require a permit to own an armoured car. Years back a number of cars that were armered were seized. They cars were leased and then armoured. Armoured cars may not be a big deal in BC but they are in places like Mexico.

That looks like absolute bull shit. What kind of shot pattern is that? And as other mentioned, how far away and what kind of ammo did they use (I understand it's a 45 but there are many types of 45)? Also, how about those legendary windows?

Seems like a distraction from falling stock prices and poor quarterly results.

for me i choose to go full size is because of payload and interior space. sure its not everyday i need the max payload of a full size but its nice to have.
being a homeowner and having an income property there is always something to haul around, and being able to do so in one trip saves time and money.
home depot runs, pick up and deliveries at my convince, my schedule.
im able to take on my own yardwork at the rental instead of paying a landscaper. lawnmower, weed wacker, leaf blower, powerwasher can all fit in the bed without messing up the interior.

Without knowing the caliber/grain load/range/etc. that one picture doesn't mean a lot.

Erh... try shooting even a .22 at a regular car/truck at the furthest range you can aim well enough to not miss shots and get back to me.

Regular car exterior is like paper for bullets... even small one like a .22

Growing up, I used to go with my dad and my (much) older cousin to his friend's farm to shoot. They've got a few cars and trucks (or what's left of them) and bullets can go through it with ease.

[underscore]

A regular car/truck isn't marketed as being bulletproof. The calibre is still a guess but if you choose a bullet that's light or a frangible bullet it'll be less likely to penetrate something that a more standard bullet would. You could also do a custom load with less gunpowder than normal to slow it down so it's hitting with less energy behind it.

But even doing that seems unlikely when the only source is a "trust me bro" picture from a guy known for lying. I really wouldn't be surprised to hear it was just a hammer lol.

You can choose not to trust me. But many people had shot at car doors for youtube vids.

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=can+a+22+go+through+a+car+doo r+

None of them would stop them and "dent". They all go right through.

I'm just saying... regular car's panel do not have anywhere near the tensile strength as shown in CT.

I don't think Tesla would certify it as a bullet-proof cars as it's more regulatory paperwork than what's needed. But the fact that it can be shot at, which based on Elon Musk's comments being a Tommy gun, that use .45 bullets, it's nothing short of amazing because you put a regular car/truck, all those dents you see in picture would be holes instead of dents, regardless what the distance/caliber/grain load. Even ring fire .22 goes through with ease. The amount of force that a bullet can push through is a lot more than what a car panel was designed to hold.

https://www.quora.com/What-calibres-of-bullets-would-stop-due-to-stainless-steel-as-Im-going-to-create-a-custom-3mm-stainless-steel-shield-will-add-more-layers-if-necessary

Even mild, "cold-rolled" steel is quite efficient at stopping most bullets, if it's thick enough. Most all contemporary pistol bullets will simply flatten or fragment against even relatively thin sheets, that's why steel targets are so often used.

and this:
https://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-electric-pickup-bulletproof-stainless-steel-body/

"If fully hardened, 3mm of 301 stainless is more than adequate to stop any 9 mm Luger round I can think of, apart from exotic stuff like dedicated armor piercing bullets, which you're not going to find on gun store shelves," said Iain Harrison, editor-in-chief of Recoil as well as a competitive shooter and former British Army captain.

You can choose not to trust me. But many people had shot at car doors for youtube vids.

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=can+a+22+go+through+a+car+doo r+

None of them would stop them and "dent". They all go right through.

I'm just saying... regular car's panel do not have anywhere near the tensile strength as shown in CT.

I don't think Tesla would certify it as a bullet-proof cars as it's more regulatory paperwork than what's needed. But the fact that it can be shot at, which based on Elon Musk's comments being a Tommy gun, that use .45 bullets, it's nothing short of amazing because you put a regular car/truck, all those dents you see in picture would be holes instead of dents, regardless what the distance/caliber/grain load. Even ring fire .22 goes through with ease. The amount of force that a bullet can push through is a lot more than what a car panel was designed to hold.

You're missing my point, the doors can be stronger than regular car doors but still not be strong enough to be bulletproof again a regular bullet.

[Hehe]

You're missing my point, the doors can be stronger than regular car doors but still not be strong enough to be bulletproof again a regular bullet.

Ok. Define "regular bullet".

.22, .45, and 9mm Lug mentioned so far are all standard bullets used by many many guns in circulation.

They are not some specialty, fancy bullets that must be sourced specifically.

You are arguing the awesomeness of the feat. by trying to question the bullet used in this case. And I'm telling you that from my own experience with guns... even shooting small/low power bullets like ring fire .22, it'd penetrate a car panel with ease. It's not car-specific. It's just the material/construction choice. You put a Tesla Model S/3/X/Y, they would all get holes.

And Manic pointed out that 3mm SS body has no problem stopping a 9mm.

This is not about being a Tesla fans. If a F150 can do this, I'd thinking "oh, this is awesome!".
It's one thing to be questioning things, but it's whole another thing continuing with the same argument when other pointed out that what you are questioning aren't question at all and let's just enjoy the marvel of engineering that the CT is going to be, shall we?

Else we'd be like a bunch of people who question moonlanding and Earth's shape despite countless pieces of evidence that suggest otherwise.

Probably going to have the same amount of success as the DeLorean as well.

[roastpuff]

Right now I'm just questioning the lack of actual shooting video. Surely someone must have had a smartphone pointed at the truck that was being shot at. This is 2023. If the truck did actually get shot at, and these bullet dents were created by guns being fired at the truck, why not release the video? I think that would shut up a lot of naysayers.

[68style]

Why are there even naysayer to start with?

Who cares if a truck is bulletproof or not? It's so dumb

Also, is it a technological feat to make something out of heavy ass stainless steel in 2023? Seriously... people need to give their heads a shake

If they did it properly, I'd say there's a good chance no one was in the immediate vicinity. The bullets would have a very good chance of ricocheting off. Even with much of it's energy shed from the initial impact some one would be having a bad day.

So no I'm not terribly surprised there's no cellphone footage. Now if you tell me they didn't bother filming? That I'd be surprised. There is still a chance the whole thing was done using a sledge hammer with a spike at the end.

I have plenty of experience with guns, and you're still completely missing my point.

But I'm not going to waste time trying to simplify it again, because like 68style says, it's a pointless metric either way. Even if it is actually bulletproof that's just a bunch of excess weight you're paying to haul around for no reason.

Because he would rather have people argue about it on the internet. He is having an event in November and will probable show the video then.

It’s hilarious that everyone who’s all about this truck seems to be the anti-regular truck crowd, where as “regular trucks” are for red necks and people who do outdoor shit like hunting etc.

But they love that it’s “bullet proof” lol

Elon is a master troll

I think the main issue people are arguing about is that Elon has a history of false promises, promises that he fails to deliver on (there are many of them).

That seems to be the sticking point here in regards to the truck being "bulletproof".

[Dbone]

Let's not forget his previous demo of the bullet proof glass was the biggest embarrassment since the one where the Volvo auto stop was turned off and it crashed in front of the worlds automotive press.

Why wouldn't we be skeptical?

The f150 lightning bed is only 5.5 feet. A Mountain bike is around 6 feet long. This is why they make tailgate bike pads.

Tailgate pads are because you can actually haul more than one bike. Ever toss a bike in a bed? It takes the whole thing and makes it useless, also totally not secure. Over the tailgate is super simple, very secure (with a pad) and way quicker.

[SkinnyPupp]

I just thought it was a funny picture.. I used to haul my bike in my Accord by removing the front wheel, so it was funny to me that a truck isn't much more convenient than an Accord.

For me, CT is just an EV that I can beat the shit out of it. And the original announced 500miles range.

It's just a perfect vehicle for the Canadian lifestyle.

My friends who are interested in EV pickups often ask me why I don't get a Rivian or Lightning, and the answer is quite simple. Lightning wasn't designed as an EV, and Rivian R1T is too delicate.

They are awesome trucks. Just not enough to convince me because I don't really take care of my cars. I want something I could beat it to the ground.

CT is a Tesla, so I know they designed it as an EV. Its SS exterior allows me to care nothing about it and it's got the range.

I am not actually a complete fan of the design. I remember watching the announcement, and when it drove on the stage the first time. In my mind was like "this gotta be a joke right?" But as the announcement went along... I couldn't care less about the design. It's got everything I wanted as a "beater" truck. It could look like my dick and I'd proudly drive it.

Today's truck are too overly form over function. They look pretty (Rivian) or mean (Raptor), but they don't have what I need.

The idea is to use it like it’s beaten up.

I’ve owned aluminum luggage cases before they were a thing. They have travelled everywhere with me. With stickers, dents and whatever everywhere. And I always get complimented on how cool my cases look and asked me about what I do with them to look like that. I just tell them “just use the crap out of them. And if dented or deformed, find an auto body shop to fix it for you.”

I applaud people to take good care of their cars both in and out and to have a 10yr beater like they came out of the dealership lot. But that’s not me. I keep the mechanical up to date. Always service as needed. Wash every couple of weeks when I’m near the car wash place and that’s it. It’s a tool to get me from a to b and have some fun with. It’s not a display piece.

[Badhobz]

Sounds like you need a Camry hybrid bro. I wouldn’t beat up your plaid like that, that’s mean man.

[Hehe]

Sounds like you need a Camry hybrid bro. I wouldn’t beat up your plaid like that, that’s mean man.

Nah. Cars are meant to be used and driven. I never understood the idea to buy a car and treat it with more care than a baby. Unless you are buying it for collection purposes, but what’s the fun of owning a car if you don’t use it fully? Mechanical is one thing, because that’s what keeping a car at its peak performance.

At some point, I was playing with an idea of getting an exotic as main driver. But the Ferrari and Lamborghini sales looked at me as a weirdo when I told them I wanted one that’s best suited for daily driving and needed one with the least amount of work. And the fact that my kids aren’t old enough to seat in the front, which are the only seats available put that idea to rest.

I’m however still hunting an NSX-R or an old version Ford GT. Heard many great things about them being super fun DDs. Not practical, but will suited as a DD.

You can’t disassociate Tesla from Elon and that’s hurting Tesla more than panel gaps and shit build quality.

[jaaagman]

I'm frankly also concerned about the lack of news for more through refreshes for their bread and butter cars (3, S, X, Y). There have been facelifts, but at their core, they're still older designs. I guess they do have the advantage of still having a competitive EV drivetrain. As far as I'm concerned, the Cybertruck and Semi are not going to be volume products that will bring in huge revenue.

[twitchyzero]

all those have seen updates throughout, except for the X if im not mistaken

wouldn't mass production of CT and finally making the roadster make more sense than updating the X?

[JDMDreams]

I'm sure they will make it work, they have a track record of making it work. They can focus on ev r&d while legacy makers are still burning money developing gas cars and trying to convert them to fit batteries. I'm pretty sure besides China evs every other EV maker is loosing money on each car they sell.

Do most dealers not let people even touch mass produced products they are trying to sell?

I'll be somewhat interested in how all these sharp angles sound at 100km/h. My 4runner gets a little noisy at 120... though the Defender I had was much worse at anything above 80. Obviously those are gas/diesel and that does cover a lot of the wind noise.

From the leak that people found on Tesla's iOS app update, it seems that there are 2 wheel types for the CT.

There's this one shown above and then the one at Langley, which is the "basic" model.

Take a look at the wheels/tires anyone notice anything?
