Nice comparison of the Tesla pick-up truck versus popular trucks.
A little thing called range while towing is pretty important – and we have no idea what that will be.
We like this take from The Bulwark:
Yesterday Tesla unveiled its new “Cybertruck,” which seems to have been inspired by Terminator 2. The idea behind the Cybertruck is that Tesla wants to get into the light truck market.
Here is the AP credulously reporting a bunch of utter bs:
Tesla is aiming for the heart of the auto industry’s profit machine with its own version of the heavy pickup truck. . . .
The vehicle, which Tesla CEO Elon Musk said will cost $39,900 and up, will have an estimated battery range of between 250 miles (402.3 kilometers) to more than 500 miles.
The electric pickup truck will be in production in 2021, Musk said Thursday in Los Angeles.
With the launch Tesla is not only edging into the most profitable corner of the U.S. auto market, it’s also gunning for buyers with fierce brand loyalty.This is absolute garbage reporting. It’s not even reporting—it’s stenography. Why not just run the Tesla press release?
