I agree with all you have said so come have coffee with me some time.
But
1. Where isn't the gov doing this? Only an EV cuts me lose from the gov to some extent.
2. The cybertrucks current specs beat all the 1/2 tons on the market at 3,500 pounds and it does cost less to drive.
3. There is charging from solar at my house in town and at my ranch also at my office. The hotels I stay at have tesla chargers as well as restaurants and truck stops. And hell I will probably carry a generator with me if I decide on taking it on a road trip.
4.That's all modern vehicles but tesla has discussed that there cars can be disconnected.
5. The batteries for the CT is good for a million miles and costs the same as the impossible to find 3.5 ecoboost that I have to replace right now that grenaded at 100k miles.
6. The grid is shit do to the Gov just like the price and quality of gas.
I am sure if the corruption in Washington hadn't ruined all aspects of life I would be driving a magnificent diesel truck today and never look at an EV. But when the grid fails and there's no fuel as they have designed it to be I will be charging and driving my ev if I want to go somewhere.
AZ is a little bit out of the way for me, but I appreciate the offer. I hope you know I wasn't trying to pick a fight, just have a differing opinion. Back in the day, folks in this country could disagree without a fuss. Something has changed, and I can't put my finger on it.
I'm glad your ev is working out. I reckon I'll keep burning gas till it's outlawed.
 
I can give you an example that led to pulling that out of the box...
But you already know that answer.

Rick was happy I had it with me.
Yes. Am unexpected squib can end a good day unless there’s a way to get it out readily available. I thought that more people might appreciate the need. Apparently I was wrong. 👍🏻👍🏻

And to clarify, that wasn’t my rod. Mike brought it along and saved the day for Rick. I liked it enough that I took a picture so that I’d remember to get one to put in my pack.

Actually, I think Eli carries one in his pack.
If someone is destroying their bore with it, they should consider not being so effin rough with stuff.

Hell, I bet even @deersniper could use it without breaking anything. 😉

I would venture a guess that 99.9% of the people here have no idea what is funny about that picture.

Here is another one that confuses the Chevy vs. Ford vs. Dodge guys. It's a world record holding Corvette that is running a Chevy big block short block with Chrysler hemi heads bolted to it.

bolt pattern match up, or did someone do a lot of work?

While the Cyber Truck is still like coming eventually, so you can't get the true story on it, suffice it to say that it will most likely share the same problem the Ford version has.

If you are using your truck as a fancy car, no problem, you'll see all the range and the power and all that.

The moment you decide to actually load it down like a work truck or haul a big heavy boat / trailer, you'll find your battery range drops to less than half and that means a trip of any decent distance, is going to be tough.

If you have a DC super charger, you could get it charged up reasonably quickly while you wait.
Otherwise, it's going to be a plug it in for the night and get up in the morning thing and that's with a 50 amp 240 volt circuit to feed it.
