Tesla will release a semi, a pickup, and a convertible roadster
- Thread starter Responsible Allen Iverson
- Start date
dude is about to revolutionize tractor trailers 
Sister test driving a Model S this weekend.
Her lease on her 4 series BM ends in June.
Gonna borrow her whip and front on the stunt through the beaches/water fronts of Seattle.
Hopefully she gets the murdered out version... she loves black cars.
I'm picking up 4 of y'all so we can get some drinks and bytches.
First round of SoCo shots on me.

ELECTRIC PICKUP ISN'T GOING TO WORK. IT WILL HAVE ZERO TOWING POTENTIAL.
You Win Perfect
bow down
i assume you are an engineer at tesla working on the project? or an engineer, period?
Favorite pastime.
IT'S PHYSICS. MOVING MORE WEIGHT REQUIRES MORE POWER. THOSE BATTERIES WON'T GET MORE THAN 150 MILES ON A CHARGE WITH A TRAILER. YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH THAT IN A COMMUTER CAR. PEOPLE WHO PULL TRAILERS TEND TO TRAVEL FAIRLY LONG DISTANCES. TRY PARKING A TRUCK WITH A TRAILER IN A CHARGING SPOT. A LOT HAS TO CHANGE IN INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT A PICKUP.
I'm sure Tesla has done research on how the majority of truck drivers actually use their trucks for on a daily basis and will build the truck accordingly.
No..Money..Mo..Problems
it is what it is
I don't think a trucks gonna work most Cacs who drive them around here buy them for the power trip. Hey look at my big bad truck with the hemi and a gazillion towing power. A battery powered truck kinda defeats that purpose.
THERE GOING TO HAVE TO BUILD A 1/2 TON TRUCK AND CRAM 300-500 LBS OF BATTERIES IN IT. TESLA VEHICLES ARE ALREADY HEAVY. THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT THE TOP END ENGINE IN IT TO OFFSET THE WEIGHT. THE PRICE WILL BE TOO HIGH.
THEY CAN BUILD THE TRUCK TRUE ENOUGH BUT THEY CAN'T KEEP THE PRICE DOWN. THEY WILL BUILD IT AT A LOSS. THE BATTERIES ARE TOO HEAVY. IN ORDER TO HAVE A DECENT RANGE PER CHARGE THEY WILL NEED MORE BATTERIES OR BETTER BATTERIES. MORE BATTERIES KILL THE TOWING CAPACITY. YOU CAN ONLY OFFSET THAT WITH BETTER SUSPENSION AND MORE POWER TO THE ENGINE. EXPENSIVE. THE OTHER POSSIBILITY IS LIGHTER OR MORE EFFICIENT BATTERIES. THAT IS JUST AS EXPENSIVE. TESLA HAS PROBABLY THE MOST ADVANCED CONSUMER BATTERIES ON THE PLANET RIGHT NOW. THEY AREN'T CHEAP EITHER. EITHER WAY YOU LOOK AT IT, THE TRUCK WILL EITHER BE INFERIOR TO GAS TRUCKS IN EVERY WAY OR COST TWICE AS MUCH JUST TO HAVE THE SAME STATS.
I DON'T SEE HOW THEY CAN IMPROVE BATTERY TECH THAT MUCH AND HAVE IT BE AFFORDABLE IN A TIMELY MANNER.
BUT THEN AGAIN, TESLA HAS BEEN OPERATING AT A LOSS FOR YEARS NOW. MAYBE HE HAS A PLAN AFTER ALL.
NOT ONLY THAT, BUT TRUCK OWNERS ARE VERY LOYAL TO THEIR BRANDS. FORD OWNERS WILL KILL YOU OVER THE POWERSTROKE. GM WILL KILL FOR THE DURAMAX. DODGE WILL KILL FOR THEIR CUMMINS. I KNOW GUYS WITH 5-6 WORKING TRUCKS IN THEIR DRIVEWAYS. ONE FOR EACH OF THEIR KIDS AS THEY GET OLDER. THEY PASS THAT shyt DOWN TO THEIR KIDS MAN. HOW DO YOU COMPETE WITH THAT?
QUICK! Someone get this guy in touch with elon! He's making a huge mistake and only this guy can help him!!
Who yall gonna trust? Elon's market research and development teams or this dude poppin off on a message board.
A. BECAUSE RESEARCH TEAMS ARE NEVER WRONG. I SPEND 10 HRS A DAY DOCUMENTING HOW WRONG THEY ARE. I WORK FOR FORD.
