  1. I guess no one told them that lithium ion batteries don't like salt waler.

    1. An electric vehicle in salt water. Wow. How can you be smart enough to afford one of those things but dumb enough to not understand middle school science? I am mystified by life.

    2. If its not already in the owners manual I'm guessing there's an edit coming. Maybe have the GPS prevent beach driving?

  6. I wonder what the "woke" weenies will say as each and every electric car battery burns up in the atmosphere? Perhaps they will blame cow farts and not volcanoes belching out billions of pounds of CO2.

  11. Every Cybertruck owner will see two things with their next insurance renewal:
    - A big jump in the cost of comprehensive coverage
    - A new clause stating damages caused by exposure to salt water are not covered.

  12. Ah gee, another not-a-truck stuck in sand. A new twist; when tide comes in, vehicle gets hot quick.

  13. Just because a man calls himself a woman doesn't mean he is.

    Just because someone calls a strange vehicle a truck doesn't mean it is.

    Can it haul 10 sheets of 1/2" plywood and 40 8' 2x4's?

    1. Even small trucks are usefull, however that is no more a truck than an El Camino

    2. When I had a Dakota V6 two wheel drive long bed, I sometimes overloaded it. One time the starter went out.

      A tow truck pulled it up a steep drive then 17 miles to closest place to buy a new starter. All weight on rear axle. Very nearly 1,800 lbs of old concrete and wood scraps. It took the beating with flying colors.

  14. One would think that after ALL the electric cars that have caught fire, burned down homes and wasted water to put out said fires that the public would know that EV's are a waste of money but No, there are too many Darwin Award people out there to know not to.

    1. There are may be reasons not to like EVs but this is made-up nonsense.

      Cooking is responsible for more than half of residential fires. You’d think that the public would know that cooking at home is a waste of money, right? No?

      Insurance companies have already figured out pure EVs have lowest vehicle fire rate, ICE vehicles are higher, hybrids worst. EV fires get the press. ICE fires are common enough it's background noise.

      I don’t think anyone should be forced to buy an EV, and they shouldn’t be subsidized, but neither should ICE vehicles, nor much of anything else. (Joe’s stupid infrastructure plan to install EV chargers along highways is a classic of government ineptitude. Just leave Elon alone and let him take care of it). Let the market work, and the EVs will dominate in the long run. I think when the tipping point comes, it will change markedly, a real preference cascade.

  15. They still use salt to melt road ice?

  19. Did not state EV's were the only source of house fires just that can cause house fires.

  20. I'd like to see the upcoming moon mission be powered by an electric rocket. Surely it's time.
