Only 5% of next car purchasers expect to buy all electric cars-Road and Track.

Hydrogen cars will be a thing, especially in California.

Yeah, like five of them for science experiments.

 

[wilberforce15]

But everyone knows the F150 is Ford's top seller. So why wouldn't Tesla put out a superior product and take that business? Isn't the factory in Texas dedicated to the Cyber Truck?

It makes more money to make two cars instead of one truck. This isn't hard.

GigaTexas makes a lot else.

Hydrogen cars are stupid.

I’ve seen one of those.

A van is the last thing Elon will build because it’s not sexy or cool.

As of 2020:
There may be nearly 8,000 hydrogen cars on California roads, but that's a microscopic number amid the state's 35 million registered vehicles.Jan 9, 2020

Good picture showing how unsafe it is to leave a gas pump unattended.

Yeah, you're right-----vapor exhaust is stupid.

@wilberforce15

On his way to work.... a part-time preload job.

 

[vantexan]

Perhaps Elon is conceding that part of the market by focusing on sedans.

Sure, build high priced sedans instead of competing against the top selling vehicle in the U.S.

Hard to tell from the picture but I am assuming (ass/u/me) that the charger that he should be using may be out of service.

What were total sales? The big 3 had a lot less cars to sell too due to a chip shortage.

Do you realize how hard it is to compete against this:

But when it comes to pickup trucks, the Ford friend-150 is the unquestioned king. The friend-150 has been, for 44 years, the best selling truck in America and the full friend-series line of trucks is the best selling vehicle, of any sort, in the United States. It is also the pickup truck with the longest heritage. May 25, 2021

Why spend $$ on marketing and producing an EV truck to compete against Ford when you already have the best selling EV sedan? BTW, Ford has the Lightning which is an awesome vehicle. I saw one in Philly that was fully loaded that retailed for $88K.

...or necessary....this is obviously a Ford Transit wrapped with the Tesla. Bug's thinly veiled point was the absurdity of a Tesla vehicle having to buy gas.

Ford sucks. We leased 4 150s, 2 years ago at work. Switching from Toyota Tacomas. 3 of the 4 fords blew head gaskets. The 4 th had air conditioning problems. All had various problems. They suck, plastic, and cheap. Toyota was a much better truck.

Have you read this entire thread? Wilber claims that the Cyber Truck is superior in every way to the Ford half ton so yeah, why wouldn't they start churning them out and compete? Name a sedan that comes close in sales?

While the Cyber may be superior to the Ford in every way, trying to educate the average motorist would be an extremely tough thing to do. Better to stick to what they know.
