Turtle, I was thinking the same thing. Out at night with questionable headlights and no side mirrors? Frankly the hubcaps are just plain silly.

Agree with Turtle and sts

Don't think they are DOT certified and those sharp edges deadly

Hardened SS...?!? Why ? Maybe anti-door dings very high on Tusk’s gotta have list

Surely welded flat sheets and ground down to form those sharp seam/edges...then did they come back to harden it after ? Hardened is brittle...wonder if they told Tusk and who made the decision for the marketing “hardened”...

Another possible possible basis for the look...movie “Upgrade”

Generally speaking I find non EVers to be considerably more offensive on this forum.

I have my doubts that GM will produce any significant amount of EV’s in the next 5 years. They are having difficulty producing 3000 month right now.

Jmho.

Did you see where GM and LG Chem have created a joint venture to build batteries? Each is investing nearly $1 million.

They expect capacity to be 50% more than the Tesla Gigafactory.

GM is investing $3 million to build electric trucks in the Detroit-Hamtramck plant.

Can you please share what a "significant amount" would be? I would like to track progress against your measure.

I have doubts that Tesla will produce any significant profit myself. They haven't produced much in years. I would call significant profit $6 Billion GAAP Profit in a calendar year.

Until it passes you at the charging station about 100 miles later. What is the point of all that power when you can't go above 70 in fear of hurting your range when towing?

These are actually situations in the freeways of California and Reno -- unlike your delusional scenarios drawn out from you beautiful dreams after eating two tons of left-over turkey from last Thanksgiving.:B

So these stations allow you to recharge back to full in less than 15 minutes to make it another 100 miles while hooked up to a trailer? Because I can go well over 250 miles in three and a half hours on one tank of fuel without stopping at 70 mph.

I think the thing should be impounded next time this thing is found on a public highway.

I think people rolling coal should be put in group homes.

This is deliberate.

And their favorite victims are hybrids and EVs.

I agree, but the funny part is your 8.1L van is probably spewing more carbon than that truck over the course of 100 miles especially if you haven't replaced the catalytic converter which converts less and less carbon over time until it fails. Also, just because you don't see it doesn't mean your direct injected car isn't spewing all sorts of PM.

The difference is that 8.1L did not modify the emissions or engine control systems.
The pictured truck was deliberately modified.

As I said, I agreed with him on rolling coal. However, you cannot have a holier than thou complex if you are spewing the same (if not more) carbon emissions in your tow vehicle deliberate modified or not. You may see things differently, I don't.

Can I add another negative this would have to be the most anti pedestrian vehicle I have ever seen. It is basically a wedge with very sharp edges what appears to be almost a blade in the front and very sharp edges round it would fail crash standards in Europe possibly the US and Australia
