    I speak the truth about Tesla like I do about Sengun. Saw it coming before anyone. Been saying the same thing when Tesla was selling 30k cars a year, when Sengun was still a fat kid in Turkey. Now they call me a Tesla fanboy, a Sengun onlyfan, that’s ok I’ll take the hits. In the end only the truth will matter.

    first thing i thought was ithe front is over-engineered and not consumer friendly. any small damage there looks expensive to replace.

    If you're not talking about your veterinarian, there was a rumor they're working on a hybrid (not fully-electric), but I haven't been following, so I'm not sure if it's true or not.

    If we're talkin' brass tacks and monkey bait, a freebie would whet my whistle.

    I have a 2014 Model S (should have bought the stock instead lol) and as much as I love it, I think my next vehicle will be something else. I'm hoping that there are some good options out there in the next 18 months. I put a deposit down on the F150 lightening for the fun of it and might go that route as a holdover until there is a leap in EV (better auto driving, etc).

    It's probably gonna be like that, seriously doubt it'll be nerfed, but I doubt it's gonna go for $70k. lol.

    The base model is 60k currently (msrp w/o dealer markups), I figure it would be more expensive, but hopefully not double. Pretty awesome that the American sports cars provide so much performance for comparatively cheap prices, hope they do the same with electric versions.

    That EV lightning nearly crosses off all the things I didn't like about trucks.

    1) expensive to fuel (gas guzzler) - being an EV solves that issue
    2) not enough storage (didn't want stuff just sitting in the truck bed) NOW IT HAS A SUPER FRUNK! SUPER FRUNK IT'S SUPER FRUNKY YEAH!
    3) unattractive - well the lightning isn't ugly, it's passable as far as trucks go hahaha

    The frunk and the fact it can power so many things including your home with the proper setup is pretty darn cool all while being cheap to fuel up is a real winner.
