It is nothing short of chilling how ancient, how outdated and how insecure our national grid is. After 3 1/2 decades serving in the government I wish I could elaborate more. Upon retiring I signed nondisclosures. If only the general public really knew the truth. Our national grid needs to be upgraded in so many ways.

Concur.  That’s about all I can say….  Mike

Optional Ultra-Realistic Humanoid Robot with charging port, EV charging made simple!

Maybe for the male version, the female is a costly upgrade; some things never change!

Naturally batteries included.

That’s exactly what I see in my mind when someone mentions a Tesla truck, just butt-ugly. I believe that this particular one runs on 450,000 Triple-A batteries though. There is a lever on the side that releases them all when they need replacing.

Yes and only slightly better looking than the Airstream horse trailer AKA the Basecamp. 🤪

FYI:  We observed our 2nd and 3rd Cyber Trucks yesterday headed eastbound on I-20 in LA -- again, on the back of a flat bed.  Will report our first sighting of a Cyber under its own power whenever it occurs...  HA!

Likely ran out of juice, just a few miles down the road. 🤣

Whoa there pilgrim. Easy on the Basecamp!  lol. A 16 BCX was our last trailer and saved our lives through COVID when there was nothing to do but boondock! We were sad to see her go. I agree though, kinda an acquired taste. I’m still not to keen on the 20’ Basecamps.

Tesla really needs to put out another truck model that basically combines the body of the Tacoma with the electronics of a model Y.  They would sell a ton of those… I’m not a big fan of the cars but I’d buy one.

I got this email today. Maybe I'll try driving one. 

Probably  a waste of time, though. I've seen several lately,  and way too big for me.

It seems we all agree that the Tesla Cybertruck isn't a suitable tow vehicle for our Olivers.  Even if you could live with its looks and limited range, the 11,000 lb tow rating should be called in to question. Imagine what might happen if its bumper breaks off like in this comically abusive test at about 5:45 in the video.  To be fair, it looks like the WhistlinDiesel guys may have set up the bumper failure at the 5:25 mark.  They used a Ford F-150 for comparison and ended up rating it higher even though the Tesla was the clear winner of the important C-4 explosive testing.

Just ran across this video tonight. Another side of Tucker Carlson on TCN. Love his neighbor and the relaxed rural setting. This thing can haul! (for 100 miles) Where's the truck bed? 🤣

Truly an ugly vehicle, could hardly refer to it as a truck. I would choose a Rivian hands down over this POS. We have one running around our town, see it ever so often. I just don't get it how this appeals to anyone. Regardless none of these EV trucks will suffice for towing anything. Apparently there is new battery technology on the horizon however that is far more environmentally friendly with more power than Lithium.

... anything at all. Agreed Outlaw!

I like the open-mindedness of Tucker's neighbor in testing the truck. The thing pulls like an SOB, but not much else in positive attributes. Loved the video and it makes me want to pull our Oliver all the way to the great state of Maine. It would give me an opportunity to meet up with my friend @connor77 and perhaps other forum members. Let's hit the ball soon, Kevin!

Tucker is great and Elon is a genius, but I've not seen a Tesla that I think is a good-looking vehicle.

I am one of the few that think the Cybertruck is kind of nice looking truck in an ugly sort of way.

Saw one at Inks Lake in green-camo which made it look a bit better. Was leaving too quickly to get a picture.
