I love it when people go out and actually prove all the people wrong who claim, "Electric trucks aren't good for towing". It's especially nice when you are helping others recover from a traumatic life event. Kudos! As someone who has towed a huge variety of heavy loads for over 40 years, using...

I suppose that's possible; the sales numbers will be the final arbiter of what the future actually is. Is it your belief that the Rivian R1T (and R1T successors) will be more common on the roads of the future than the Cybertruck? Tesla plans to make 500,000/year and I suspect they will...

You're right about that. Ford doesn't brag about their steering innovations, because there aren't any. You are essentially correct here too. It's not just the responsive steering that makes the Cybertruck a "gamechanger", it's the way the entire package comes together to create truck that is...

I remember the "Shape of Things to Come" campaign! Nice! With the benefit of hindsight and the release of the Cybertruck, we can say Triumph was amazingly prescient, or prophetic even. How did they know?

My F-150 has laggy steering, the Cybertruck can turn MUCH faster. In order to see the lag in a Cybertruck's steering, between the steering wheel and the four wheels that do the actual steering, one must crank the steering wheel as fast as possible from side to side. In a Cybertruck it takes...

The design of the Cybertruck is very unique, but that's not what makes it a "gamechanger" in the truck market. It's the functionality and the driving qualities. Sadly, it will take Detroit 5-9 years to up their game to compete on a functional level, by then the Cybertruck will have morphed into...

The problem was the Aztec was a crappy vehicle. Yes, it looked odd, but that would have been OK if it offered breakthrough functionality. Sadly, it was just a piece of shit. Comparing the Cybertruck to the Aztec, just because there is a vague similarity, just shows that person knows very...

Wow! Surreal! Do you really think someone broken down in a Rivian in the middle of a X-country trip is going to care whether the panel gap variations are 1 or 2 millimeters? :rolleyes: Yes, I know it was a joke, but it really illustrates the disconnect from reality some have in their attempt...

Haha, I'm sure the author of that Jalopnik piece has no problem flying on planes for the last several decades that use fly-by-wire, with no mechanical backup. It's not a problem when the system is built with proper redundancies in place. He sounds irrational. The lag between turning the...

You seem to forget, I was making the case that robotaxi's will be here in the near future, not a decade or more out. I was using current FSD capabilities to make that case. I was not saying FSD is ready now to operate robotaxis. This shouldn't be so difficult for you to understand, I think you...

That makes zero sense that firing the Supercharger Team resulted in delays shipping the adapters. Thae adapters are manufactured in the manufacturing facility in New York, the Supercharger Team was based out of California. The delay is more likely due to the speed of the injection molding...

Oh, please! I lived in Syracuse for 2 years and Northern Montana for one year. And my Performance Model 3 has already driven me on FSD on mountain roads covered in so much snow that I couldn't see the painted centerline. it seemed like FSD was determining where the road was like a human does...

Rich has become the laughing stock of YouTube!

That's not a rational analysis. Robotaxis do not need to handle ALL conditions at ALL times, in order to be approved. Even human driven taxis refuse to operate when, for example, a tornado is approaching, or the roads are too treacherous with glare ice and strong winds. Even some existing...

The point is we don't know why there is a shortage of adapters. Yet, the claim was made that Tesla is purposefully limiting the rate of manufacture to slow down the transition to NACS. Yet others claim that Tesla invited N. America to switch to NACS because Elon is greedy, and wants as much DC...

Automatic (motorized) tonneau covers?

People who spend $100,000 on a vehicle like it or not based on how good the vehicle is, it has nothing to do with the CEO of the company that manufacturers it. It would be like saying that diehard GM fans are simply the result of their loyalty to Mary Barra! No, they like GM trucks.

You can turn Rear Wheel Steering off on slippery surfaces. Or. leave it on and have some fun! The choice is yours.

The roads are full of bad drivers. Half of all drivers on the road are worse than average. FSD is already so advanced that the more driving FSD does under the control of a human driver, the fewer accidents there are. That's what the accident data shows. Right now, it's a great driver aid. In...

Where is the poll option of "No"? The poll assumes everyone finds Rivian in the luxury category. I have a very dim view of "luxury" vehicles (and "luxury" most everything else). I always felt Cadillac and other luxury makers just made inefficient and overweight crap. That they slathered on a...
