Tesla Truck (Cybertruck)

Now this I would consider! Disruptive....as some have called it, different, as it should be....but not ugly as can be. I'm not certain how practical the bed would be...and the bed is what makes a truck a truck right?
The lifted Kia Ute.

Here's the Rivian, demoing what a motor on each wheel will do for you. I'm in love with the possibilities here. Gonna make lockers obsolete.
I saw an electric Hummer in the Gateway mall parking structure yesterday. (Where I work.) I didn't really think I'd ever see one in the wild but I was wrong.
I don't know if you guys have ever watched MKBHD but he's a good tech writer/reviewer. He started as a kid with a camcorder in the early youtube days and has kept at it and built a pretty impressive company over the years. This Auto Focus channel is a new one for him that does without all the fancy video gadgets and editing. Just him and a cell phone camera doing reviews of electric cars. Living in a big city his takes and preferences are a little different than what we might have in the west but he's consistent and fair.

I got to ride in a Hummer EV at Overland Expo East last year (only GM employees were allowed to drive, sadly). Its massive, but gets off the line stupid quick and did just fine on the off-road course. If I had $100k to spend on a rig, there's far better places to spend it. But some of the technology is cool and it'll be interesting to see some of it trickle down into more useful, affordable vehicles.

I'm interested/excited to spend time with the Cybertruck. I don't have a want/need to own one but l appreciate them as an option. I was able to do an off-road trip with the Rivian R1T and Hummer EV this last spring, nothing crazy technical but multi day off-road. They have limitations, recharge times & location being the most prevalent. Their range was on par with the gas vehicles we had but required many hours to charge and that at very specific spots.

A Rivian or F150 Lightning would work for 99.9% of what I use my truck for right now (not a Cybertruck though, I'm not a furry). I would miss that .1% though - that's the best part.
Just watching a review from MKBDH and hes showing the steering wheel but the big thing there is how little it actually rotates (lock to lock) because of the rear axle steer.

I keep saying a 3.0l twin turbo diesel hybrid in a 3500/350 chassis would be amazing. It would pull 10K lbs over hills like they were flat and the regenerative breaking would outshine even the best tow haul function in current transmissions as well as recharge batteries. Combine that with mid to upper 20's MPG when empty! However, with the complexity of a hybrid added to the complexity of a modern diesel and I think you'd just throw it away at the first major maintenance event.
Yup. Take away the emissions equipment and I'm in like Flynn.

Don't you already have a Cummings
I thought they all got 25mpg pulling a track hoe over Parleys? Or was that just the 12 valve?

The new ones get 25. The 12 valve get 45.
Not deeezl but I think Ram has something like that coming out

Having watched this last night, I'd say this is easily the definitive video describing the Cybertruck. It is well worth your time.
