Tesla Model X vs Ford F-250 diesel towing tug-of-war

Tesla vs. Ford: The Towing Tug-Of-War Rematch (Kinda)

With Tesla’s recent letter, it’s likely the Cybertruck won’t actually compete with the Ford F-150. Instead, it will most likely compete with medium-duty trucks like the Ford F-250. Which makes Tesla’s highly-publicized Cybertruck-F150 tug-of-war video rather moot. It also raises some more questions. Considering what Tesla may have had to do for that video, what …

Tesla Cybertruck Won’t Actually Compete With the F-150

Although the cheapest Tesla Cybertruck is getting delayed, Tesla as a whole is still moving forward with Cybertruck production. The automaker is also moving forward with something else. Although Tesla rather pointedly set its truck against the Ford F-150 in an automotive tug-of-war, it turns out that the Cybertruck won’t, in fact, compete directly with …

How Hydrogen Could Help the Electric Truck

As we’ve recently covered, electric pickup trucks still have to address several issues challenging their widespread use. And to be fair, these are similar to ones facing diesel and gasoline trucks: towing, torque, and most importantly, range. But while trucks like the Tesla Cybertruck and Rivian R1T have the torque and have the towing capability, …

The Cheapest Tesla Cybertruck is Getting Delayed

The Tesla Cybertruck electric pickup isn’t out yet, but it’s already generated a lot of media coverage and excitement. Mostly centered around its design, which, despite the windows and stainless steel shock factors, has had some careful engineering put into it. But arguably the most important info is the Cybertruck’s release date. Initially, all three …

Cybertruck Towing Issues Are an EV Problem, Not a Tesla Problem

Electric pickups aren’t competing with ICE pickups solely on range, but on towing, too. Tesla appeared to demonstrate that there’s nothing to worry about when the Cybertruck towed that F-150 uphill. There’s also an electric F-150 out with a towing capacity of 18,000 lbs. However, although Tesla claims the tri-motor Cybertruck will tow up to …

You Don’t Have to Wait for an Electric F-150 Anymore

Ford’s all-electric F-150 is coming…eventually. Although the automaker is working with Rivian, who is making its own electric pickup, the electric F-Series might not arrive until 2021. Maybe in 2020, if development goes smoothly. By then, the Rivian R1T and Bollinger B2 will have debuted, too, leaving Ford with a fight on its hands. But …

How the First Tesla Pickup Truck Compares to the Cybertruck

Before the Tesla Cybertruck, there was another Tesla electric pickup truck: the Truckla. YouTuber and creator Simone Giertz wanted an electric pickup, but the Cybertruck wasn’t out yet. So, she took a Model 3 and turned it into a truck. But now the uniquely-designed Cybertruck has officially been unveiled, although production won’t start until late …

Classic SUVs That Deserve an Electric Conversion

With the development of electric crate motors, and classic trucks being converted to electric drive, it’s now easier than ever to turn an iconic oldie into an EV. But it isn’t only classic cars and pickups that can now run on electrons. SUVs, in fossil-fuel form, are often criticized (not entirely undeservedly) for their emissions …

Classic Pickup Trucks That Deserve an Electric Conversion

Classic pickup trucks’ simplicity is both their biggest selling point and biggest weakness. And we’re not talking only about thinner A-pillars and lack of airbags. Classic trucks have fewer, if any, complicated electronics and fuel injection systems. But while that makes them simpler to fix, it also means they emit significantly more emissions and use …

The Back-And-Forth About the Tesla-Ford Towing Tug-of-War

Pickup trucks are built to tow, and the electric Tesla Cybertruck pickup is no different. In tri-motor AWD form, Tesla claims the Cybertruck will be able to tow up to 14,000 pounds. That’s actually more than the Ford F-150; its max is 13,200 lbs. But numbers on a screen aren’t the same as actually hauling …

Here’s the Deal With the Tesla Cybertruck’s Windows

Tesla’s electric pickup truck, the Cybertruck, certainly hasn’t had a quiet introduction. Its design has invited several interesting comparisons and critiques, as have several of its features. Especially the Cybertruck’s supposedly ‘bulletproof’ windows, which broke twice during on-stage demonstrations with thrown steel balls. Elon Musk may have quipped it away, but he may have feared …

People Can’t Stop Comparing Tesla’s Cybertruck to the Most Ridiculous Things

We finally know what the real, production-spec Tesla electric pickup looks like. After many renders and much speculation, last night Elon Musk showed the Tesla Cybertruck on-stage to the whole world. And the reactions were…interesting. Not because of the specs, but the looks. The Cybertruck’s design has been polarizing, to say the least. Musk promised …
