Just wondering. We don't talk cars much here except for Vans and Ford 150's...or Porsches...but has anyone bought a Tesla truck yet? --173.28.xx.xxx

That’s not a truck. --24.152.xxx.xx

I ordered mine about a year and a half ago, but it hasn’t been built yet. --174.193.xx.xxx

I want one so bad, Jason. I don't know why, I generally don't care about cars at all, but this one I really want. Have you seen that guy who does tech review videos - he did one recently on the truck and made me want it more. --173.28.xx.xxx

NE, it is. If you watch the video review you will see how it becomes one. I will find the review and post it somehow. --173.28.xx.xxx

NE is exactly right. That is not a truck, regardless of what Elon thinks. Elon probably doesn't even know how to use a truck. After all, what are trucks for? Certainly not to just look pretty driving down the road, not that the Tesla Truck even looks pretty. A military 6x6, now that's a truck. We see that on here every day, you just haven't realized it. --76.129.xxx.xx

If I can’t throw a dead deer in it in the morning and construction debris in it in the afternoon, it’s not a truck. --24.152.xxx.xx

Why couldn’t you use it to hunt and work out of? I’ll just be using mine to haul construction materials, which is the only thing I use my current truck for. I saw one in person for the first time yesterday and it’s ugly as sin and looked HUGE! Like a rolling refrigerator almost. But im still looking forward to having one. After driving a Tesla for this long, I’ll have a hard time going back. It’s painful driving a gas car after being used to electric….they’re so slow. --73.147.xxx.xx

Around here, in the hills of Appalachia, you might just get beat up, driving that thing into deer camp. --24.152.xxx.xx

Oh you’re worried what your friends will think? I couldn’t care less. --172.58.xxx.xx

Also, I’ve had my ass beat before, definitely not scared of the next time lol --172.58.xxx.xx

No I’m not worried what my friends think, just busting @$$. Still not a truck though! Haha --24.152.xxx.xx

I fully intend on tearing the hell out of it. It’s just another tool to me. Hell most of my favorite tools are battery powered anyways. --172.58.xxx.xxx

I look at these things as tremendous liabilities. That’s why I would rather tear the he// out of a $5000 old beat up pick up truck than a $70,000 or who knows how much Tesla. I don’t even know what they cost. --24.152.xxx.xx

Annnnnd they just recalled them for acceleration issues! Yikes. --173.28.xx.xxx

Tesla Cybertruck Review: Already Iconic? --173.28.xx.xxx

Recalls aren’t uncommon, but they’re mostly fixed with OTA updates. The last one was because the “park” text on the display wasn’t in a large enough font. Yet it’s still a “global recall, with every model affected!” Every tesla recall ever makes the news for some reason. Remember when they were telling owners of the new F150 not to park it near their house because of all the ones that have caught fire? --73.147.xxx.xx

6x6 would love to hook a chain to it. --76.129.xxx.xx

Brad needs to see the video WMH linked. I bet he already has. --76.129.xxx.xx

I'd rather be on a motorcycle, which we took out of storage yesterday. --75.11.xx.xx

It does not make sense to buy a EV pick up truck as new designs along with unproven. It is better a EV then buy a trailer where can use on and off. A Mid size pick up truck like a Nissan where can buy a trailer for additional loads as well. Then buy a EV for around town and short trips. I would be reluctant to buy a non diesel pick up with a turbo charged engine. --207.236.xxx.xxx

Would like to drive one just for grins. Maybe I would be converted after? --107.147.xx.xx

I have recently seen two different Tesla trucks in my area. They certainly are different that traditional vehicles. --172.59.xxx.xxx

It certainly has an "interesting" look - a triangle on wheels. --68.229.xxx.xxx

I'm not opposed to the idea of electric but I don't think they are ready yet. And I'm not believing the claim that powering an automobile from the home electric system doesn't cost any more than running your microwave. Those things have to use a lot of electricity to move that mass for so much distance. --76.178.xxx.xxx

I don't want it because it is electric. That is a major drawback to me. I want it because it's weird-looking. And because you can cover the bed easily for theft purposes. --173.28.xx.xxx

That’s the only real reason I could see somebody wanting to buy one of these. Because they think they look cool or they want to be cool. Not practical otherwise. Well, because they’re not a truck… --24.152.xxx.xx

1,029 lb ft of torque vs a 7.3L F350 super duty’s 485 lb ft. God help me if I ever need that much torque --172.58.xxx.xxx

I still bet the 6x6 will pull it or rip it in half. --76.129.xxx.xx

Been running the same 2003 Dodge Dakota since 2015. 200,000 miles. DON’t know what the torque rating is and have never needed to know. Hopefully I can get another hundred thousand out of it and still not need to know. Now that’s a truck! --24.152.xxx.xx

It looks way less cool in real life then it does online. There is one here in town and everyone was talking about it for maybe a whole day. Honestly, it doesn’t look as nice as I expected. I don’t know why every thinks it is so expensive. Have you seen the price of an F150 Platinum lately? --174.192.xx.x

lol you’re talking about “not a truck” while driving a half ton Dakota? My truck is a 99 ram with 170k miles and am already on transmission number 3. I’ll take my chances with the cyber truck. My Tesla has 65k miles and so far I’ve only had to add windshield wiper fluid to it. I’d have to spend all day listing all the parts I’ve had to replace on my truck. --73.147.xxx.xx

That 99 ram is a truck! --24.152.xxx.xx

That said, I have seen and heard of too many problems with the Tesla. I believe Elon is trying for a great vehicle but is still in the trial period and having some recalls. For that reason, I wouldn't want one, just like I won't be buying another Chrysler product. Plus, I don't want to be plugging a vehicle in every day and I want to keep my vehicles longer than any battery will last. --76.129.xxx.xx

6x6, I’m not pretty enough to drive a Tesla, plus I don’t do trends. I just want something that runs and doesn’t rust out. --24.152.xxx.xx

NE, the newer Ford trucks are aluminum bodies. I saw a video of one a guy had up north somewhere, and it was still rust free on the body. --76.129.xxx.xx

HMMWV's are aluminum bodies as well. Not too practical for a work truck though. --76.129.xxx.xx

--76.129.xxx.xx

around here they would steal that aluminum bed along with the cat converters and sell them for scrap --74.77.xx.xx

--73.103.xxx.xxx

If there was a dealer close to me I would consider test driving one with an open mind. --107.147.xx.xx

Zero if I couldn’t haul 4x8 plywood in it, I wouldn’t even consider it. It can also tow about three times what my current truck can (a feature I probably will never need). --73.147.xxx.xx

Always had gas V8s before, and I miss the extra umph even though I do not pull a lot. I should be bringing my mini excavator home in the next week or so. Will see how this does pulling the 18 foot flat trailer and the little over 3k worth of weight. At least I don't have far to take it. --107.147.xx.xx

The 6x6 has a 12 foot bed. --76.129.xxx.xx

Great day that thing must be a beast! --172.56.xxx.xxx

By next years inspection, my Dakota will have a pressure treated bed or a mis-matched box from a junkyard to replace the rusting one. It’s a game at this point. Cost of new truck vs repair my flintstone truck. Repair usually wins. --24.152.xxx.xx

Jason, Google M35A2. This is a baby compared to the 5 ton. --76.129.xxx.xx

You can see videos as well where they drive these under water. --76.129.xxx.xx

Am I waiting to get one - as long as I can. I am happy with my small Nisan. I really shouldn't be working that hard in any given day. So I should only do up to a full load of work in any day.......and a small truck means working in areas that make me the most money. That requires flexibility as that answer changes. --24.101.xxx.xxx

Riding my E-bike----or driving my Tundra --76.138.xxx.xxx

--184.4.xx.xx

No electric vehicles for me. I’m in California. Would they tell you to buy electric vehicles and then turn off the power. --146.70.xxx.xx

On a side note, we killed a little time and looked at the current model Silverados. They're fancy, but not nearly as practical as my 2009. They are very limited with bed size options in comparison to the previous options with bed/cab. --172.59.xxx.xxx

Still not worth the loss of bed. --107.147.xx.xx
