tesla Truck 1 Attachment(s)
Ya I know this is not the right forum. But we have opinions.
I can't call it a true truck but I like it. I'm weird. I also think if Ford turned out a basic truck at a cheap price (25-30k) it'd sell well. no fancy electronics and a bit of power with a new multi-geared modern speed transmission. Lot of dudes want a basic crawler. I can actually open a tailgate, I don't need assistance. :) This can be deleted. |
Re: tesla Truck I look at that thing and my first reaction is to think they are pulling our leg. They can't be serious.

Russ people hated the delorean too (I'd like to own a delorean). It's different. Not a true truck with a bed. But can pull stuff. Better looking then the K car or the Chevy Aztec.

Re: tesla Truck I agree with Tinker, Ford needs to build a work truck for people who can afford it !

Re: tesla Truck Had my F-250 for 17 years. No floor mats, no power locks or windows, vinyl seat. Replaced the battery a couple of times and the fuel pump after 16 years. I did add cruise control to it. The truck I replaced it with actually annoys me with all of the electronic "stuff." I do like the electric adjustable side mirrors. When I bought it, I was treated to a 30 minute or so hard sell effort by the guy who handles the paperwork trying to get me to buy an extended warranty because of all the electronics on the vehicle, "and they do go out." He even had a module sitting on the desk as a prop to show me. He said there were several in the vehicle but the main one cost over $4500 if it went bad. The "Basic" extended warranty came to over $700/year which would be $3500 for five years added to the price of the vehicle and the top warranty was well over $100/month. Basically what he did was spend half an hour telling me how unreliable their product was.

Sport Utility Vehicles? Really? I suppose for the millions of moms that won't drive a "wagon" it's one way to sell them one... just convince them it's "sporty". Ya can put a dress on a pig - it's still a pig. |

The Tesla truck is pretty ugly. If I had to drive an electric it would be one like this 49 Mercury built by Johnathon Ward of "Icon Derelict" fame.
And yes, if Ford built a brand new 70s vintage pickup I'd buy it rather than anything new on the market today. Too much expensive, complicated electronic junk doomed to fail. I don't need all that but I guess it helps sell to the "yuppies". |

If you remember, the truck and SUV popularity got its major boost back in the 70's ? 80's ? when they were exempted out of the SMOG certs of the day, while hitting passenger cars with heavier requirements. Whether or not there is still a different SMOG class for them is not as important as the perception of a remaining exemption. |
Re: tesla Truck new fangled pickups, i always say if nobody bought em, they would quit maken em. i hope to be driving my 89 diesel dodge until i am toes up. no computer, you dont have to be 6'8 to grab something out of the box, and when you open the hood theres a motor in the middle and you can see the ground on both sides. the one i miss was my 63 ford one ton. metal door panels, metal dash, rubber floor etc. i entertain the idea of finding a nice one and drop the cummins into it, but there is too much on my plate already. we will all probably have a tesla when they tax the gas burners off the roads

Re: tesla Truck That Tesla 'Truck' is the ugliest design I have ever seen on a modern vehicle . . . you couldn't give me one. There is not a curve on it anyplace - looks like some highschool kids made it out of sheets of plywood painted silver.
Whew - now I feel better . . . maybe too much coffee this AM! |
Re: tesla Truck Yeah! And it has shatterproof windows! Almost.
|
Re: tesla Truck I love the electronics in my 2019! There is an almost endless supply of about any year vehicle you could want. I have several. :)

Re: tesla Truck You know what is uglier than that electric POS "answer" 2 of them.
