Fit and finish sucks. Yes I have been up close and personal with quite a few and they all suffer from that. The attorney who drives one from the office next door normally waits two to three months for repair work to be done. He bought a normal vehicle to use when the Tesla breaks down, which it does on a regular basis. He uses the Tesla as his weekend ride now because of that.
The Ridgeline is certainly quite good for what it is - a unibody vehicle designed for mostly paved road driving and medium towing (5000 lb towing capacity).My Ridgeline would have been stuck too, but it gets 32mpg.
The conditions don’t really look that bad. But the cyber truck is clearly not designed to do practical hauling duties or really work hard. You can see that by looking at it.TC Talks wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 7:59 amYou've driven one? 0 to 60 in under 3 seconds. Not exactly rubbish. Those tires aren't designed for ORV conditions, just like most every stock light duty pickup. My Ridgeline would have been stuck too, but it gets 32mpg.
That Ford likely gets 16 mpg, and those don't look like stock tires.
Now, make fun of the idiot who took a stock Cybertruck off the trail with stock tires and I'd agree 100%. We get idiots like that up here (from the Detroit Suburbs) all the time.
The owners of Teslas by and large would call someone else to do all that.TC Talks wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 10:01 amNot good at hauling?
Tesla has never marketing this truck as a replacement for a Ford F truck. Pickup trucks accounted for 20.57 percent of all vehicles. Do these owners all need the truck to do more than pulling a trailer and hauling DYI supplies from the Big Box? No.
20% of cars sold in California last year were Teslas. It's becoming middle class.Rate This wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 10:36 amThe owners of Teslas by and large would call someone else to do all that.TC Talks wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 10:01 amNot good at hauling?

There’s also a great deal of pressure and incentive there to go that way. Effectively those numbers are inflated. It’s only 5 and change percent nationwide.TC Talks wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 4:13 pm20% of cars sold in California last year were Teslas.

Those rolling blackouts that are becoming more common would like a word with you.TC Talks wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 5:20 pmThey also have the infrastructure.Rate This wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 5:09 pmThere’s also a great deal of pressure and incentive there to go that way.

That was not an attempt to disparage EV’s… simply talking about something that cannot possibly help if you add in things that demand lots of juice by the millions.TC Talks wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 5:23 pmSee the link below it...
