BTW Time or YS, what happened to the 300,000 tow rating?
The difference is Ford and Toyota never stated that was the tow rating.
Neither did Tesla. The only tow rating numbers given by Tesla were max 14000 pounds. Elon tweeted something to the effect of 300,000 on twitter when someone asked about a tow capacity of 30,000 pounds. I think he was being way conservative at 300,000 pounds. Are you possibly getting those confused?
Unfortunately that is Elon's Achilles heal. He has a big mouth. Because that is exactly what he said. Also the reason he is not the cairman and cost them millions in fines. You may decide which versions of facts you choose to believe from him but that does not absolve him from just spouting off to stroke his ego or prop up the stock.
Nope. What he said was. “300,000”. When the other tweeter asked if it would have a 30,000 pound tow capacity. No tow ratings were ever mentioned. Again. The cybertruck will easily have the capacity to to 300,000 and probably closer to a million pounds....just like the electric ford did.
Max tow rating speculation specs of the Tesla cybertruck are listed on the website as 14000 pounds. Also totally feasible.
No, exact quote from Elon "300,000 lb towing capacity"
How you interpret that anything other that what he said is beyond me.
Exactly. I have no doubt that it probably has at least three times that capacity. The ford F150 did in its demo last month. Why would you think the Tesla would be less. Airport mules tow more than that and they have 4 cylinder engines.mich800 wrote:

Oh man, I used to love the smell of Klotz back when we were riding two stroke dirt bikes.
What if I like loud and stinky? I even run Avgas with Klotz oil in my chainsaw and weed whipper so it smells like I'm on a turbo snowmachine up in the mountains when I'm doing yard work!
Yeah those cordless weed whippers and chainsaws are great too. I'd need $800 in spare batteries and a backpack to carry them around in just to get my yard work done some days!Reisender wrote:

There is a new search called google....
"So far this week, one Tesla has recorded a very unofficial Nürburgring 7:23 lap time, versus a recorded lap time of 7:42 by the Taycan Turbo.Sep 19, 2019"
So that was more than two months ago. Sorry really hard to keep up with real progress at Tesla.
My car turned a very unofficial 1/4 mile time of 4.00 seconds flat. Cool hu? LOL you fan bois are something!
Let's see a slip from your old street rod...good lord. Now your old hot rod runs somewhere between pro stock and top fuel 1/4 miles?
What ever bud. Or it's not a street car.
Grit my "unofficial" time slip is as "unofficial" as Tusks Ring time. It's "unofficial"! LOL When Tusk comes up with an official time slip at the Ring, I will show you an "official" time slip.. :BTurtle n Peeps wrote:

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. :).
