But /O/ is full of bus riders and bench racers
So no not BTFO pea brain

What's it gonna tow? It's own batteries?

>>17014964
I guess that it will be filled with have enough batteries to reach the point of diminishing returns and elon will tell you that if you need more range just use a train that use batteries that his company made.

>tfw no Tesla pickup

boring

>>17014935
I'd be surprised if wasn't a hybrid with a range extending diesel generator.

My dad is patiently waiting for a Tesla pickup. He's always had a thing for trucks, but he only lives maybe 2 miles from work, so although the truck is 5 years old, it has less than 40k on it. This will be perfect for him.

Welp, you're going to be surprised then

>>17015108
I can't think of any reason not to include one.

Because this is fucking Tesla. Tesla have said they will never touch an ICE because they feel it's technology of the past and they're trying to be the car company of the future.

>electric cars existed before ICE
LOL, Tesla marketing.

Why would you want a Tesla pickup truck for? It'll do worse than a Ford and you already know that if you do worse than a Ford (in terms of reliability) you should just stop being a car company altogether.

>>17015154
They're selling trucks to businesses and people looking to make money, not yuppies that want to impress people with their rolling appliance. If they're willing cede the share of the market that's going to have range anxiety with their battery powered semis so they care adhere to the "purity" of being an all electric company then they can wave goodbye to their inflated stock price.

Holy shit, Tesla's going to be fucked if they don't see your guys posts and turn the ship around!

I thought about it and you're right. After all Windows ME, Google Glass, and the Apple Newton were all rousing successes.

>>17015302
Did you foresee those before they happened as well, despite have 0 clue about anything related to the field?

>>17015335
The Newton is from before my time and I never had a computer with ME growing up but I could have told you Google Glass was going to flop based solely on how it fucking stupid anyone wearing it looked.

Ian Wright, who used to work for Tesla, has already started building battery and super capacitor electric trucks and busses. They aren't for any type of line haul work, but trucks that do set runs around cities. It's gonna happen.
