Taxed per mile driven

It doesn't have to float. It can be made to float. I can't believe I had to explain that.

The cybertruck body is rust proof. That was the question.

The problem is not that.
Since water always goes where you least expect it, how does one make a seawater proof truck ?
Water will find a way into the power cords or battery area and could cause a reaction.

There was a Honda vehicle which marketing claimed that you could put wet objects in its rear compartment.
But that was where the vehicle's computer was.
Causing all sorts of problems.
Those ads had to be pulled from the air.

You asked about dripping seawater effect on the body. That was solved. Now you're nitpicking about making a proper boat out of it.

Shift goalposts much?

 

[Operational needs]

Some states like New Jersey spend an exorbitant amount per mile as compared to other states. Perhaps someone should study why all the waste?

Omertà.

How much salt water is on the moon?

A lot. It turns out that if we can seal out the vaccum of space, sealing a battery is very easy.

We are nowhere near the capacity needed to charge hundreds of millions of electric cars. If they're serious about this they'll need to build a lot of nuclear plants.

Now you triggered the no-nukes clowns.

Counselor needed STAT!

It's so fun hearing all the horses talk so much smack about the horseless carriage.

My concern was for a water proof truck.
Boat launchings require going in to at least covering the exhaust muffler.
That exposes your rear axle, rear brakes and bed of the truck to be in contact with the seawater.
Also I carry dripping wet objects in the bed of the truck to market.
So the total bed is covered in seawater on the inside, too.

( trucks don't last many years in my neighborhood )
By the way, in order for the manufactures to make money and conform to CAFE regulations. { Corporate Average Fuel Economy }
They will use the cheapest way.

The cybertruck will be better in all those respects than anything else in your neighborhood, including in towing and payload.

There is nothing you can do to bring these electric vehicle cult members down to reality. It's an obsession for them.

You might try offering an argument.

We're receptive to those.

All we find in rebuttals is ignorance.

My horse is great. Anout 500 miles on a fill up that takes around 5 minutes.

That's great. My average weekly fill up time is 0 minutes.

Here is the ignorance I spoke of. The rebuttals are just ignorance. You spend more time filling up than the average EV owner who has a house.

On a long drive? How long is that charge up?

Yep ... a LibTurd dilemna!

LOL ...12 HOURS CHARGE TO DRIVE 50 MILES!!!

Nice Car, But How Do You Charge That Thing? Let Us Count The Ways

Most charging actually happens at home, but concerns about how to juice up are tripping up would-be buyers. A lot is on the line for automakers.

A lot of people aren't homeowners who can conveniently charge their cars overnight. If they have to drive someplace and wait for charging it defeats most of their arguments. And how quick does fast charging wear out the batteries?

I see. This is where you get to pretend to be he-man who never stops and has no bladder.

It charges 20 to 40 minutes every 4 to 5 hours. That's about the norm for most travelers stopping and resting time anyway. A full day's drive might be 1 to 1.5 hours slower than if a robot drove a gas car with no rest.

But this weekend I went 250 miles away for a weekender. I never stopped to charge. I drove 250. Charged at the destination while sleeping, and drove 250 back.

Even a 500 mile weekend trip beats your silly gas car.

I also spent 0 minutes commuting to a mechanic last year. 0 minutes waiting at one. 15 bucks on maintenance for the year (wiper blades).

So basically I took an EV to VT, TX, MI, and NC. And I still spent less time messing with my car than you did.
