That front end is hideous. Also, how the fuck is that thing not going to drain the battery in 50 miles when you start to reach its maximum towing capacity?

Tesla plans to show off an electric pickup truck sometime within the next two years, the company’s CEO Elon Musk said on Twitter today. The pickup was teased originally when Musk revealed the second part of his “master plan” for Tesla, which began with selling expensive vehicles like the Roadster and Model S, and eventually leads to producing a wide range of more affordable vehicles at scale.

Lot of salty haters in this thread.

Do you guys just not understand that there is a finite quantity of fossil fuels out there? Do you like being an oilcuck and not generating all of the energy you need for both your home, home business, and transportation using solar panels on your own property? Nah you are probably a rentcuck/wagecuck/oilcuck.

I get that EVs are not for everyone right now, but if you can't see their importance then you're fucking blind. For people who actually care about this shit and can afford it the truck will be pretty cool.

They happen, but not on pretty much every accident they have.

Also lithium burns much hotter making rescue more difficult.

well a model S already weighs like 10000lbs and it gets okay range, it'll probably be worse but with the constantly improving batteries and motors they might be able to do it.

A semi though does sound retarded because what do you do when the battery dies? Truckers don't drive 200 miles and stop for the day and they can't wait 2 hours for a recharge.

expose gas to air and nothing happens
expose lithium to air and it fucking burns

>>17029937

Lithium burns underwater. It's a nasty bitch. It's funny how facebook Teslatards say sitting on 60 liters of gas is dangerous when they're sitting on 3000lbs of lithium.

>>17029731
And yet gasoline is still a much better way to store energy.

Fucking batteries, I swear. There's no way you can cram that much chemical energy into a battery, make it quickly accessible, and not have issues with it when things go wrong.

90% of electric cars are powered by coal or oil. They also require infrastructure that isn't there, too. What's your point?

Most places need their fucking water and power brought in from other states because they can't sustain themselves. The power grid is already fucked in most places to the point of brownouts happening on a monthly basis.

The LS is too clean and efficient. The Tesla needs something like a 4V or 6V Detroit 2 stroke with the fuel tuned up to cause optimal butthurt at pretentious Tesla meets. Just roll up in 1st gear and watch the tears flow.

I love ICE's. But cucking them with Hydrogen isn't really solving anything. We might as well live with the already efficient ICE technology and plentiful reserves of fuel and work on batteries that don't fucking suck.
