Just wait until the Tesla truck comes out and will school any of the ICE trucks 0-60 and 1/4 mile. I could see Tesla being nutty enough to make a Raptor competitor.

It would be like an over sized RC truck. I remember when I was a kid I used to race electric RC cars and always dreamed of a full size version. If you took it to scale the full size version would do about 500mph and jump 10000 feet.

Too bad the TSLA truck still looks like it was designed in MS Paint.

I hope you're not one of the idiots who bought an oversized off-road truck to brag about 0-60 and 1/4 miles times?

yeah really? Let’s meet up in northern Alberta in January do some over landing

how bout remote ski lodge in Utah in February, bet the 4x4 would be put to good use!

hell- some Baja runs in mid August would be fun to really get a comparison


In ALL these scenarios though? The funny thing is the utility of the truck & it’s capability are a moot point b/c the friggin LI ion battery will
Be sapped of power in no time & go into limp mode, let alone start out w/ less range to begin w/ vs ICE.....oh & btw, good F’n luck finding a suitable “charging” station in those situations, & no- there’s no way to practically “carry” extra battery packs like a can of gas....yet. Solar panel charging would be interesting too if feasible....but in general it’s still a pipe dream & in reality they’re not very suitable for true “off-roading”....

Hence, why I will always keep a raptor and/or a land cruiser. My reason for Tesla truck is simple: it’s a business marketing expense.

or how about the owners who go spend +8K on "ultra-lightweight" forged performance wheels and then wrap them in +80lbs of rubber ... haha
