In the market for a new truck but looking for something a little different? Consider the Tesla Cybertruck. Unveiled just a few months ago, the uniquely designed pickup will be available in 2021 and 2022 (depending on the model). The good news is that buyers can reserve one now with very little money down. Tesla’s …
Tesla is known as one of the auto industry’s biggest innovators, and Land Rover is adding one of Tesla’s innovations into the latest Defender. Tesla models are very smart cars, and one of the reasons why they’re so smart is because Tesla can update each car remotely. That’s exactly what the newest Land Rover Defender …
Porsche recently launched its long-awaited, all-electric and high-performing supercar, the Porsche Taycan, and the world is on pins and needles. Though an electric Porsche is hard to imagine, experts say it delivers. And its biggest competition from electric innovator Tesla should expect rivalry. But on the road, which one will truly dominate: Tesla or the …
Because of how difficult it can be to find an EV charger, and long recharge times, many EV owners install home chargers. Recharging at home is also cheaper than charging at, say, McDonald’s, and more convenient. Park, plug it in and go to bed. But with how big modern battery packs can be, and how …
Tesla’s Model 3 started right out of the gate with quality problems. Those seem to have subsided but there are other problems taking its place. Now that the 3 has been on the road we can get a better idea of what is facing owners as their Tesla ages. From Bloomberg comes the largest survey …
Like Frankenstein’s monster, Hummer is alive again courtesy of a jolt of electricity. There have been hints that the military truck brand would be revived, but the “how” remained unclear. Some rumors claimed Hummer would be brought back as a high-end off-road truck and SUV brand. Logical, given the brand’s roots, and the growing value …
Ford revealed the Mustang Mach-E to mixed results, but it appears to be popular enough to challenge Tesla. At least one Ford dealer thinks so.
Tesla appears to have some of the best brand loyalty in the auto industry. It’s fair to ask whether there anyone who regrets buying a Tesla.
The electric pickup truck has come a long way in recent years. But there are still some lingering issues. Towing drains batteries, but simply fitting bigger ones may not be the best solution. New technologies, like supercapacitors, or refinements on established ones, like hydrogen fuel cells, could help. But they’re not quite ready yet. And …
Although range anxiety is dying down, when it comes to electric trucks, a big battery pack is still important. Especially when towing gets involved. However, not every manufacturer subscribes to the idea. Porsche’s Taycan, for example, can only do about 200 miles on a charge, Road & Track reported. And Mazda purposefully gave its upcoming …
The charts and analysis are so confusing. Are electric vehicle sales up or down? Are all of the other countries seeing a rise in electric vehicle sales except the US? Did electric vehicle sales tank in 2019? The standard response to the number of EV sales in the US is 2%. It’s 3% in California. …
When Tesla’s Cybertruck was unveiled, its iconoclastic looks had more than a few people believing it would revolutionize the pickup truck world. Others speculated that it was a futuristic drawing rendered in MS Paint made real and other even less flattering things. Either way, the stainless steel pickup has the kind of extreme styling never seen on a …
The coming Tesla Model Y makes no sense. There is no reason for it to exist. The Model Y only up-tics the headroom in a Model 3. They’re basically the same car underneath. The Model Y has been advertised as having a third row of seats, but no adult will fit in that third seat. …
It’s easy, with how today’s media consumption, for an automaker to market any feature as something ground-breaking. Especially with electric pickup trucks, a segment where manufacturers need to differentiate themselves. Some, like Bollinger, let the truck’s capability and design do the talking. Others, such as Tesla, can sometimes lean on sensationalist methods. Is setting up …
More and more manufacturers sliding into electric vehicle production are finding it’s not easy. Just last week, Mercedes announced it was delaying its EQC SUV for almost one year. It says it’s strategic to help it fill European demand. But this has been the same story for quite a few EV manufacturers. Debuts keep getting …
Elon Musk revealed the long-awaited Tesla Cybertruck back in November 2019. Its new design and impressive features garnered a lot of attention from fans and the media. Tesla, which has plans to produce this pickup in 2021, compared it to the Ford F-150 when they unveiled it. They even showed that the Cybertruck had enough …
Electric pickup trucks like the Telsa Cybertruck, Bollinger B2, and Rivian R1T are just around the corner. But while they may be almost production-ready, potential buyers may hesitate over range and recharge time. Especially when towing gets involved. Hydrogen technology could help, but it comes with its own problems. However, there may be a different …
The Tesla Cybertruck continues to be polarizing, you either love it or hate it. Joe Rogan weighed in and said he would be buying one.
The Tesla Cybertruck had problems that were immediately on display during its unveiling. However, there may be more problems creeping behind the scenes.
Although Tesla’s over-the-air updates have occasionally caused problems, they’ve also been a fundamental benefit for the EV manufacturer. Where updating something like a Ford F-150 can take months or years just to plan, Tesla can implement changes essentially overnight. And some of these changes can be dramatic. The already-quick Model 3 recently received a free …
If you haven’t scoped out the new Tesla Cybertruck, you should. With the recent announcement and unveiling, truck enthusiasts everywhere are weighing in with their sentiments. You may be an excited fan of the new Cybertruck and ready to pony-up the funds to have one in your garage. You could get an awfully expensive surprise …
Electrified pickup trucks could be the hottest segment with nothing to show for it. There aren’t any manufactured, yet. And the one everyone is talking about won’t be available until 2021. That is, of course, if Tesla can keep the Cybertruck on schedule. Since that probably won’t happen here’s the electric pickups beating the Cybertruck …
If the recent viral video of the Tesla Cybertruck pulling a Ford F-150 had you scratching your head, you’re not alone. Yes, automakers are using some eye-catching novelties to promote electric vehicles these days. First, we saw the Ford F-150 electric pulling a million pounds and now the Tesla Cybertruck pulling the Ford F-150? Who …
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 …
We hope those 250,000 that got on the Cybertruck’s waitlist will get a truck they can license. There are already issues concerning basic collision laws and certifications in Europe that won’t allow it to be legal. The Tesla truck may end up being just an expensive doorstop. With the “nearly impenetrable exoskeleton” of ultra-hard 30X …
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 …
It didn’t take long after the Cybertruck reveal for Ford to start a feud with Elon Musk and Tesla. It appears this battle will last a long time.
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 …
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 …
Buying an American car or truck is important to many consumers. So is there a new most American truck in town that consumers should look to?
With the Cybertruck, Tesla is trying to change the whole truck market. But is Tesla just falling into the same trap as every other truck company?
Let’s ignore the memes and jokes for now, and take a closer look at the Tesla Cybertruck’s design. It certainly isn’t traditional, which may have been the point. And based on the window fiasco, it still clearly needs some work, to borrow Elon Musk’s words. But details like the stainless steel body don’t just raise …
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 …
Despite all the buzz and hype surrounding it, there are a few types of people who will probably never buy the new Tesla Truck.
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 …
Love it or hate it, the Tesla Cybertruck electric pickup draws eyes. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has claimed the truck’s design was influenced by Blade Runner. Although with those angular, shiny stainless steel panels, some commenters have Back to the Future in mind instead. But choosing steel over aluminum is more than a little interesting. …
There have been many great auto rivalries. Now with the race to make all-electric vehicles, will we see a rivalry between Rivian and Tesla?
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 …
What is happening? People are losing their S**t over the Cybertruck and it makes no sense. It is going far beyond a form of transportation to another realm. What’s wrong with you people. It’s a niche pickup truck, and actually it’s not even that, yet. It’s a prototype for what Tesla wants its pickup truck …
Yeah, the Tesla Cybertruck definitely has its detractors. But industrial design is a complex web of factors that all end up determining the final design. There isn’t enough space to accurately discuss those factors. What might help to explain the design is what the heck inspired the Cybertruck. Or, what has come before to signal …
Tesla’s reveal last week of the Cybertruck seemed like the beginning of some bad juju for the all-electric truck. First, Tesla Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen broke the windows of the Cybertruck during a demo, followed by all of the negative reactions to the pickup’s design in the Twitterverse. Instead, everything’s coming up in $100 …
The Tesla Cybertruck has kicked off a feeding frenzy of manufacturers planning EV pickup trucks over the next two years. Some have never even existed, nor have they produced a single product. With this much interest and activity, there must be forecasts for seeing sales in the millions. If you thought that, you would be …
To say the design of the Tesla Cybertruck is polarizing is like saying everybody likes puppies. Whether by design (no pun) or some other Elon Musk-y reason, the unveiling of the truck has been nothing if not negative, except for one thing; within two days of the unveiling, Musk has tweeted that he has over …
The Tesla Cybertruck is certainly a unique truck. So who exactly is Elon Musk trying to target with this futuristic looking Cybertruck?
The Tesla Cybertruck was subject to a lot of hate and criticism from fans. However, few will hate this truck more than rivals Ford and GM.
With the Tesla Cybertruck’s reveal, another electric pickup truck as officially stepped into the ring. And while the looks are an acquired taste for some, the numbers are perhaps the more important feature. Not only does Tesla’s electric truck have to overcome range anxiety, it has to prove it can tow and haul just as …
With all of the hype, hand wringing, miscues, laser beams, and busted windows, we have been remiss in not giving you the specs of the Tesla Cybertruck. That’s how insane the reveal and subsequent media barrage has been. Whether you love it or hate it the entire reveal was more entertaining than any show in …
Tesla’s unveiling of its Cybertruck has compelled many to give their opinion, and a lot of those opinions are very negative. Not too many can actually design something, but everyone has opinions. Aesthetics is very subjective. Someone once said, “There’s an ass for every seat,” and they were right. But if you think about it, …
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 …
Among the glitterati and auto scribes present at the Tesla pickup truck unveiling it was like the Apollo spacecraft landing on the moon. Or Mars, since that’s what Tesla says its pickup is for. Mars. Anyway, it’s different with a purpose. We’ll get into that in a bit. So what do you think? We think …
