The simple fact is, a car getting 30 MPG can go farther on 70 lbs of gasoline than a Model S with a 1200lb battery. That is the hurdle that EV's face regardless of how superior electric motors are. Add a sustained heavy load situation like towing and the difference is even greater.
Turtle claimed better diesel torque and the Cybertruck was weak.
I want to know why the diesel with all that power and torque is so slow at accelerating (loaded or not) compared to Cybertruck.
And pissed off neighbors with the noise and stink.:B
Newer diesels are pretty quiet and they don't stink.
I'm actually a fan of EV's for many applications, I'm just not willfully blind to their limitations.
Nope. They all stink (gas or diesel) and they are all noisy. It’s just people get used to it. Drive electric for two weeks and then try and go back. That’s why so many households that switch to an EV end up changing out the rest of the vehicles within a couple years. Your garage starts to smell like any other part of your house. :).
Oh. And on edit. They are also all gutless...unless they are REALLY LOUD AND STINKY... and then they are still slower. :).
Sorry mate, EV's just can't hack it as tow vehicles except for short distances. That is just a reality imposed on them by current battery technology.
I don’t have any idea. They don’t build a tow vehicle yet. We’ll have to wait until someone does. But based on specs, the cybertruck is more than adequate for many towing needs...and better than my POS GMC 3/4 ton ever was...at any level...ever.
Time will tell.
