I have, or at least portions of it, and seeing his faith in his god being shaken like that warmed my heart a small amount.
Indeed; where in the hell are these people coming up with the money to buy these things only to destroy them in a stupid manner?
Some math questions for you:
what’s the gross weight of that style of Hilux, vs the gross weight of the CT?
I will also remind peeps that physics, like Mother Nature, is an unforgiving b**ch and should be respected. ![]()
And the F150’s frame rails that were damaged in the “drop the back end onto a concrete block repeatedly” followup video? Sure, they were bent like a banana, but the repair for that is to bend it back- can’t do that with cast parts, at least not in a normal shop. And if the frame is cracked, it’s possible to weld it back together, or replace that section of the frame with a new one.
Ain’t cheap, but it can bring a vehicle that was heading for the junk yard back to some measure of usefulness. Still, I wouldn’t want to be the shop that was asked to do the repair job. ![]()
No, didn’t miss it- I’m just saying that if the bumper got torn off the back end of the F150 along with a receiver hitch that it can be taken to a body shop, repaired, and put back on the road without having to figure out how to replace the entire frame of the truck.
When I first heard that Tesla was producing a truck model, I was somewhat hopeful- then I saw the visual and went “what? THAT? No, that’s not gonna be practical for anyone who uses their truck for actual work on a daily.”
I also started looking into the build quality and general QC of the rest of the Tesla line, and that was before I really learned what kind of sociopathic, egotistical bullshit artiste Musk was.
I am done speaking on this matter. :: mic drop ::
