I also don't trust any company that will release a patch to safety critical systems in 3 days. No way that was properly tested.
Don't forget this gem: https://www.consumerreports.org/hyb...lls-short-of-consumer-reports-recommendation/Your own article had the Plaid braking 100 ft longer. Also you left out all the bits where they talked about the brakes sucking.
"Another reason to fear a 200-mph speed is brakes that got soft during our testing. Although our braking regimen isn't nearly as severe as what a racetrack demands, a warning message reporting the brakes' demise popped up on the dash. Between the flappability at high speeds and the iffy brakes, our helmets are way off to former FIA GT racing driver Andreas Simonsen, who piloted the Plaid to what must have been a harrowing 7:35 Nürburgring lap."
Tested: 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid Is Absurdly Quick but Also Has a Few Key Flaws
Tesla's monstrously quick 1020-hp Model S nabs multiple records, but is it truly great?www.caranddriver.com
Whoa, soft brakes -- that sounds a lot like brake fade. Honestly are you even trying here?
See, you just have to dig deep. Sometimes you'll get it wrong like in this case, but that shouldn't dissuade you on revealing your true feelings.I know it's about as bad as an R8. Cooling issues, bearing issues, and don't get me started on that interior. I've never driven one, sat in one, or even seen one but I just know how bad the R8 is........
Come on guys. I think both of you can agree on the Cybertruck being a terrible vehicle. As can everyone. It's something you two share common ground on. Embrace your similarities, not your differences.
LMAO. Yes, the Cybertruck is going to eventually take half of all automobile market share and 80% of all profit in the sector. It is a paragon of design and all vehicles on the road will eventually follow its lead. What a comparison.Someone getting stuck with a 4x4 isn't news. Pointing and laughing because it's a Cybertruck, is the equivalent of laughing at the iPhone in 2007, because it didn't have a keyboard.

I would buy a sedan any day of the week over a truck of equal price. I don't need a pedestrian bulldozer to carry my ego around.Why would you buy a sedan when you could get a whole truck for the same price?

More importantly how will you tow your boat that you might get someday, even though you haven't been to a lake since you were a kid?But what if I need to get a sheet of plywood from Home Depot?? HOW WILL I SURVIVE?!
Just when you think some of the takes in this thread can't get any dumber, someone compares CT to iPhone's soft keyboard design.LMAO.

I recommend driving a truck for a couple of weeks, you'll understand. I don't mean a hillbilly BMW, but an actual pickup.I would buy a sedan any day of the week over a truck of equal price. I don't need a pedestrian bulldozer to carry my ego around.
Considering I live in a suburb of modest density, smaller spaces, and tighter turns, with occasional travel into even denser parts of the Boston metro - no thanks. I don't hate myself enough to put up with such a driving experience, and I certainly don't hate my money enough that I would willingly flush it down the drain at the gas pump.I recommend driving a truck for a couple of weeks, you'll understand.

I get it. Trucks aren't fun in an urban environment. I had to live with that for many years as my work required a pickup, and my projects were all in the city. Like anything else you get used to it. Now I don't need a pickup, but have no intention of selling it because I really do enjoy driving it. I also drive less than 4k miles a year now, down from 30k a year when I was working. On top of that, gas is reasonable around here, and down right affordable if I use my kroger rewards points, $2 a gallon last time I filled up.Considering I live in a suburb of modest density, smaller spaces, and tighter turns, with occasional travel into even denser parts of the Boston metro - no thanks.

By being super sour instead?
I used to drive trucks a lot for work and a hobby I had. Absolutely no desire to own one, which is the only reason I don't own a boat.I recommend driving a truck for a couple of weeks, you'll understand. I don't mean a hillbilly BMW, but an actual pickup.
Crossover is still much better than a truck.I used to travel a bunch for work to White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. Always got the biggest pickup truck the rental place had for the hour drive on what passes for dirt roads beyond the range gates. I get it for off roading and would consider one myself if I did it often. For driving around on actual paved roads in civilization, give me a small-ish fun sedan or coupe with a manual if it's not an EV.
I think we can all agree that there is no situation in which one should be driving a crossover though.
I was a contractor. Pickup with 8' bed, lumber rack (fork lift loadable), high side boxes and a decked system. Factory tow package and a dump trailer.I used to drive trucks a lot for work and a hobby I had. Absolutely no desire to own one, which is the only reason I don't own a boat.
I'm guessing based on your past, you are the type of person that gets real utility out of their truck on a routine basis. But a car or crossover would be better for the majority of people the majority of the time.
Take a look at the Ford Maverick. It can do 99% of anything truck related you might need it to and it fits perfect in an urban setting. The crew cab seats four comfortably and it even comes in a hybrid version.Considering I live in a suburb of modest density, smaller spaces, and tighter turns, with occasional travel into even denser parts of the Boston metro - no thanks.

Thanks, but trucks of any sort are just not on my list. 1 car household, and we bought an Elantra Hybrid last year. Works perfectly for our needs, from city/suburb tasks for 2, to camping and hiking up in New Hampshire.Take a look at the Ford Maverick.

Sure some guys are gonna say it's not a "real" truck because it's not body on frame with bench seats and a 8 foot bed. They are going to say "It ain't got room in the bed for my tools, the feed, and 4 bales of straw" type of guys but lets be honest you don't need that.
Anyway, not sure if you are serious about a truck or not but just letting you know that not all trucks need to be what a lot of people think they should be.
