To be clear, not all of your bullet points are misconceptions, but a surprising number of them are. I just don't have the desire to point them all out.

In hindsight, you could have sold the car two years after you bought it for $5K less than you paid for it. That's only $3.33/day to drive a brand new electric car with more performance than most road-worthy Lamborghinis and it came with the latest connectivity, track mode, and full Supercharger...

It might be best to avoid confusing them with actual accident data! This is why NHTSA can't shut Tesla's FSD down (even though they would like to), the facts show it's already saving lives and reducing injuries and insurance payouts. It would be criminal to shut down something that is...

Oh, wow! You guys crack me up by hanging on every word of anti-EV YouTubers! I'm actually shocked, I would never have expected people to be this blind on an EV forum! Very sad.

Wow! You sure are overthinking this! I'm not going to go through and address all your misconceptions, but the Cybertruck is already far more maneuverable than the R1T, and it's not just the tighter turning circle (2.5 feet tighter). The rear-wheel steering is more than just a tighter turning...

I'm sure you would not be disappointed; it would surpass your expectations by a lot. It's a much better product than the product everyone seems to be talking about. Of course, I don't buy my trucks for how they look, it's how they drive and function that matters to me. I do need to like the...

Yes. I'm a huge, lifetime Stihl fan boy. I still have two gas Stihls that I cannot get rid of, they are sweet saws in terms of balance, useability and reliability. But I'm only a fan because the products are so good, not because they are Stihl brand. So, when I was looking for an electric saw, I...

No agreements have been trashed. Got drama? And I wasn't laughing at people who lost their jobs, I was laughing at a ridiculous anti-Tesla comment, on a forum topic about Tesla providing adapters to Rivian owners so they could use Tesla's superior charging network. You know, biting the hand...

I'm obviously not trying to tell you which truck is better for you. I'm trying to understand why you said Tesla forgot the "function" part of their truck and that is encouraging Tesla fans to buy a bigger vehicle than they need. On its surface, it's a senseless statement. Maybe I'm...

I know it's at cost because that's what Tesla stated when they made the deal with Ford. A better question is how do you know Tesla is limiting production? That sounds like a wild, unsupported conspiracy theory with nothing to back it up.

"Clean dimples"? That makes it sound so cute! I would probably try to get a truck that is highly resistant to normal hail damage. Paintless dent repair is a good way to deal with hail damage, but I wouldn't pay new prices for a car that had hail damage and had been repaired with paintless dent...

I have no problem with a healthy exchange of ideas, even those that disagree with mine. The problem was the false claims about permanent bug damage to the stainless-steel panels. We don't need old wives tales that have no basis in reality.

All true. I was actually agreeing with you, with some added context.

Ha-ha. Maybe you are unaware, Tesla is supplying the adapters at cost, with zero profit built in. And they will only ship as many boxes of them as Rivian orders and pays for. Tesla is not planning to lose any money on their offer to manufacture the adapters.

Wow! That was a brave attempt with the amount of water flowing through there! I wonder if he had his front and rear locking differentials engaged? Is there a video taken after this cut? He looked pretty determined!

Glad you made it through OK, and without picking up any scratches or dents! The power of Mother Nature can be impressive!

Even if the bug guts are left on indefinitely, they will not eat into the clearcoat like they will on a painted car. Any staining is only on the surface and can be easily polished back to a like new finish, in direct contradiction to your claim that the panels are permanently damaged. It is...

The functionality of the Cybertruck is off-the-charts! I've used trucks my entire life for various jobs and none of them approached the ease of use of the Cybertruck. The Cybertruck makes loading and unloading far easier than any other truck. And once you are sweaty and loaded up, it's super...

I knew it would have great driving dynamics with its rigid chassis, 4-wheel independent suspension with long moment arms, four-wheel steering, and active hydraulic dampers, but it's even better than I imagined. I was a little nervous about steering feedback with the steer by wire system, but...

We bought an electric truck to replace our gas truck. The Cybertruck is easier to load/unload without wheel wells and a lower bed height (31 inches in Entry Mode vs. 37" for our F-150 4x4): It's not too big, but I did max out its rated capacity of 2500 lbs. with two loads I've hauled so far...
