Tacoma Vs. Rivian

Lol so do I but I don't think they'll make the 3 motor version or honor the price for it

 

I was in the first few minutes on the Cybertruck. Agreed, it will probably end up as a quad motor along with the 4 wheel steering (“crab walk”) that has already been added after the introduction.

 

I’m on the clock now.

 

When’s that thing supposed to be released? Never?

 

Late next year. I’ve seen “middle of next year” as well, but that could be Day 2 to Day 364.

 

After Musk acquires Twitter.

I saw an R1T today it rolled right past starbucks and turned in to DD. I guess they was making a U turn.

 

I just bought the new Honda EU3200I generator last week

If all else fails....I'll just buy another Tacoma! Maybe the Tacoma EV version!?

LOL! True true!

 

Whatever happened with the Bollinger pick ups? They seemed like they were close to production and then abandoned them and are working on bigger vehicles like box trucks now.

 

More profit in commercial vehicles is my guess. They were cool, kind of a cross between a Bronco and a Landy.

Their pass through was interesting

That was cool, not sure how many owners would actually haul lumber, but hey!

Like the industrial look and no nonsense interior. Could use and abuse it without much worry. Trucks have gone too luxury for me.

 

Wait... Can they go skiing and go to the beach

Unfortunately the price was definitely in the luxury range. Their original price started at $125k I think. The no nonsense interior was cool but I don't want to pay more for it.

 

For the first couple of months after initial release (if still happening) there would be people going to Home Depot and Lowes for their first time JUST to get 16’ pieces of lumber (that they don’t have a use for but want to make videos for social media with).

 

It’s weird how these new auto manufacturers come up with these solutions to problems that aren’t really problems in the first place. Do they think that people don’t already haul long lumber in their trucks? Why does the wood have to be inside the truck with you? Let it hang out of the bed with a flag on it or get a set of ladder racks like everyone else has been doing forever.

 

How are you going to go wheeling with your lumber?!

 

I too hate having extra room to carry things.

I'd much rather strap and flag a load than just toss it in the trunk and be done with it. /s

Why wouldn't anyone want extra carrying capacity. It was never a "problem" per se but it's not "weird" to find better ways to do things. I want my vehicle, whatever it is, to be versatile. There's really no downside to the pass through.

 

It’s at the expense of not having a center console. I also prefer to keep dirty dusty things like building materials outside of my truck. That’s why I have a truck in the first place.
