Probably because insurance companies knew the stats. Teslas crash and have fatal crashes more than twice as often as the average vehicle per mile. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/tesla-highest-rate-deadly-accidents-study-1235176092/

Tonneau Cover: Ford: Folding, Rolling, or Soft available as Ford options. Dozens of aftermarket options additionally available, including power rolling. Also dozens of traditional truck toppers available in factory matched colors. Cago Capacity: Ford: Still wrong on the chart. Total with...

Not sure the $7,500 tax credit is actually available on the CT AWD - has anybody confirmed this?

So the CT does not have an actual mechanical parking mechanism in its transmission? So Ford got another pickup truck thing right and Tesla skipped it? In the Munro video where they tear down the Lightning motor/axle/differential, they make a big deal about how Ford told them a true parking...

Not sure the Cybertruck stainless changes color significantly due to fading/weathering like regular paint, but to the extent the magnet protects the surface from weathering, you may see a less-weathered rectangle when you remove the magnet.

Galvanic scale - the further apart two metals are on this scale, the higher the voltage will be between them. The higher the voltage, the more there will be galvanic corrosion (presuming electrical connectivity). Note that stainless is pretty much at the left limit of the scale and everything...

Rear visibility is also important when parking which usually involves backing.

Speeding IS illegal pretty much everywhere in the U.S. And its deadly. Not just for you and yours, but to other, innocent motorists as well. Per Google: "Yes, speeding is a major contributor to car accident deaths: Number of fatalities In 2022, speeding was a factor in 29% of all traffic...

People who clean boats with a lot of marine stainless and glass just wipe it down with vinegar solution. Mostly because its a cheap option for large areas. You can buy a gallon of cleaning grade vinegar for a couple bucks.

PlugShare shows sites that are trailer friendly. For example, this one I used in Onamia, MN. PlugsShare also allows people to upload photos and comments, so check those. Here are the PlugShare photos from that same site in Onamia, MN. People with trailers seem to be the bulk of the photos...

Why did they have to double stack it on another skid? Was it too wide?

Did some simple calcs on the drag from various "things" sticking out of the boat and trailer: The windshield of the console estimated at about 24x36 inches with a CD around 0.8. If you could remove the windshield, it could save you 86 Wh/mi or 38 kWh for the 446 mi trip. The docking poles on...

Power (and manual) sliding truck bed covers have a long history of problems. See also how Rivian has struggled trying to make theirs work reliably.

I think the engineer is specifically referencingL2 extensions that are available now. Surprised that those don't get detected somehow and the charger or vehicle would prevent their usage. There ARE extensions being developed that are specifically for DC high current charging. Its a non-trivial...

In America, we have anti-restraint of trade and anti-tying laws for good reasons. Keeps us from being victims of vertical monopolies which Tesla supercharging arguably was when it was limited to being available to just Tesla owners.

So the prediction that the super-hard stainless would be immune from trail rash turns out not so much? Kind of disappointing. It might just be more of a residue deposit of material rubbed from the branches onto the stainless. A lot of the visible "scratches" might just disappear after a...

A: 2400 lbs is going to be over the capacity of most 1/2 ton trucks. You are using the wrong truck. putting that much in your F150 XLT. B: That said, 2400 lbs is handled easily by the F150 Lightning (rated for 2250 if I recall). Have hauled 2500 to 2800 lbs loads numerous times in mine. At...

Doubtful you are feeling the frame "bend". What you feel in a conventional truck with a trailer is the long distance between the axle and the hitch. Plus the crappy solid axle rear suspension with all the side to side play it has. Never towed with the CT, but the Lightning also tows night and...
