Cooked Crack Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Buying this on day 1. I've always wanted to ride a shape and now I can roll up in a triangle. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoCommiesGo Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I’m about to put a deposit on this. My younger self would never forgive me if I passed on the chance to but a 90s computer game truck.  Deciding on the single or dual motor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshile Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) i actually like the look.  i don't know why.  I'm very curious what the impending electric truck market does to the resale value of gas trucks.  I'm assuming diesel trucks will be fine for quite a while, but gas trucks maybe not so...

Dr. Do Itch Big Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I think the design has to do with minimize the weight of the truck in order to increase range but it’s an ugly as design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoCommiesGo Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I put a deposit down. From what I’ve read on the Tesla forum it’s up to 60k preorders.  I like that they did something different and the engineering behind the shape is really cool. I’m guessing the actual price of the base model with self driving is going to be close to 53k. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 The base model only has 1 motor and rwd.  i don’t really know how much that would appeal to someone looking for a truck. There’s towing and payload capacity issues and, at least around here, no one buys a RWD truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s towing and payload capacity issues and, at least around here, no one buys a RWD truck. If the numbers are true the base model has a solid payload and max tow. If you just want a truck to do basic towing and hauling stuff I can see the desirability. Also I think keeping the final price below 55k with self driving is going to be a big deal.  The dual motor is my guess to be the most purchased, but I think that’s going to come in at closer to 65k thank the 49.9k base price. That’s Denali and Raptor territory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I knew it would look weird but man. I guess they're going with "so ugly it's cool" thing. But where are the sideview mirrors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But where are the sideview mirrors? Cameras, I’m sure they’ll have to add them in for DOT certification. They tried with the S awhile ago to do cameras instead of mirrors but were not allowed. Edited November 22, 2019 by GoSkinsGo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPacker Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I came into work this morning and someone told me that Tesla announced a truck. Before showing it to me, my response was "I hope it looks like something taken straight out of a sci-fi movie". Then he brought up the picture and it was everything I had hoped for and more. Do want.

Larry Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 $40K seems a whole lot less pricey. Not hard to spend $30 on a fairly basic F-150. Although I assume there's a reason why proces on F-150 can go from $20-$65. Different people look for different things from a pickup.   (Although I suspect that very few pickup buyers go shopping looking for something that looks like that. Granted, I just finished saying that pickup buyers are not all the same, but I suspect that very few of them want to be guinea pigs for something that weird looking.)   (Although maybe "pickup buyers who are willing to roll the dice on an all-electric one" differs from the typical pickup buyer, too.)  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 He sure seems to be pushing the technology outward.   An all-EV with a range of 250-300 miles? Still completely unsuitable for any really long trip. You wouldn't want to load the kids in the car and go see Yellowstone in one. But for example, I could go to Disney and back. Without having to recharge at Disney. (Although I'd feel a lot less nervous if I did.)  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
