More to come? Is there a first somewhere?
That X post @BellyFullOfWhiteDogCrap was worse than a politician's X post. Full of BS, lies, inaccuracies. Hook, line, sinker, baby! Have pointed out that ultimately competition is a good thing, and having multiple suppliers spurns not only compeition by innovation. God forbid if the world is subjected to having to drive Teslas only. I'll switch to horses before I drive one of those abominations of a vehicle.
They didn't test Porsche, unless I missed it. But I would rate them poor (or worse than poor).

Rumor's of Ford's EV Death is greatly exaggerated. Ford was legacy automaker making EVs to adopt NACS standard. Big things ahead. Haters gonna hate. It does no good to cheer for another companies demise in the EV space. Competition is good.
No, that's just somebody's hypothesis. Tesla used an alloy with high hardness and therefore had to compromise a bit on corrosion resistance. All stainless steel alloys have unique properties which is why alloys are created in the first place. From what I am hearing this alloy will show some surface oxidation with certain exposures. The term "stainless" isn't literal....don't leave corrosive material like bird droppings on it and expect it not to leave a mark. I don't consider it a big deal but some will be disappointed. Did Tesla compromise too much on corrosion resistance? Time will tell.
And also handprints that look like crap. But hey, you can take you $100K Cybertruck and wrap it in plastic to solve all these problems. Another reason to not touch CT, besides it being ugly.
Misleading headline as usual. (make sure to put "Tesla" in the headline to get those clicks)
My daughter's softball coach just got a Cybertruck after owning Teslsas for years. He pointed out the fingerprint issue. He said its like when stainless refridgerators first came out and you couldn't keep fingerprints off of them. He was considering wrapping it anyway, but is still up in the air.
I will swallow my pride and acknowledge CT gets fingerprints. No other vehicle is subject to this devastating flaw. Shame on Tesla engineers.
Toyota never bit hard on the admin's EV command and control agenda (1/2 of cars emission free by 2030 - 2/3 by 2032). Now that their competition is "in the tent" so to speak, Toyota is ready to make gains picking-up the slack left by others. So somebody other than China (as usual) gets a boost.
The old electrical infrastructure is a decaying mess and the new one is a con job that only helps China and the US radicals who uniformly push the green con.
Those are all huge tells that were/are really pretty obvious. Alas US is smothered in co-ordinated con job "news" from Boston Barbies and pudge bois
"It’s also become clear that the automotive industry and the Biden administration, which set its own target for half of new U.S. vehicle sales to be electric by 2030, overestimated the willingness of consumers to adopt a new technology without a reliable and prevalent charging infrastructure."
EV euphoria is dead. Automakers are scaling back or delaying their electric vehicle plans
Automakers from Ford and GM to Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and Aston Martin are scaling back or delaying their electric vehicle plans.
I don't dislike Tesla, I just find too many things about their vehicles that prevent me from seriously consider buying one of their vehicles. Kind of like my feelings about other car brands such as Kia or Toyota. But different strokes for different folks.
While I fully agree that we don't need politics in this thread (or anywhere on the FB forum), don't you think you might have more success by being polite when you ask, rather than insulting?
Excellent article, thanks for posting.Toyota never bit hard on the admin's EV command and control agenda (1/2 of cars emission free by 2030 - 2/3 by 2032).

There are zero gas stations in people's homes.
Yep. Anyone who drives that trash has constant anxiety. I hear it all the time.
Its all spectacularly relevant to anyone not superficial.
this flex again lol...but congrats on your niche privilege
What about the electrical grid overload if we "get there?" Does child labor exploitation in EV battery industry concern you?
Privilege? Moi? Excuse me, and let me put down my soy latte and think about that. Ha, ha. But yes, I don't know the percentages, but guessing over 50% of drivers likely don't live in private homes with availability of charging. We did not buy the EV Lightning to save the world. We bought it because the technology was really cool, it's fast and fun to drive, and we had always wanted/needed a pickup truck. The benefit of fuel savings is also huge. I hated going to the gas station, especially in NJ where you have to wait for some dude to take your credit card and pump your gas.
Keep the dream alive Knighty. Have a nice weekend.
Incorrect. It’s more for people that only take their truck to drag race tracks.
I dunno... I had a lot of fun driving a rented extended (both length and height-wise) cargo van for several hours. And I had a summer job where I wound up getting to drive some fairly large trucks and that was fun, too. I think I mostly have fun driving just about anything. Although for sure there are different degrees of such fun, can't argue that.
