If my mailbox is a cat litter box, and cat feces are the e-mails that I am really interested in reading, then cat litter will be a steady stream of stories from various companies who want to promote a certain agenda, from the car Selling car parts or accessories or services or insurance or anything else. I usually ignore them. I did not ignore one today, but it is not for good reason. The title caught my attention: “Tesla’s Cybertruck is the most worth buying of electric trucks [new analysis].” It caught my attention because how on earth someone would call a truck that doesn’t exist yet As the "most worth buying"?
This email contains a link to a complete "analysis" (I don't include it here because fucking) which turns out to be just a comparison of ten electric pickup trucks, of which only one is currently in production and is on that list , I just want to say, oh, six are really likely to be constructed with any number.
This is their final list and ranking:
The ranking is based on price, towing capacity, mileage (they call it "charging mileage", which is actually meaningless), towing capacity and payload. All of these numbers seem to be obtained from the company itself, and since many (or even most) of these numbers are for trucks that do not actually exist, actual tests cannot be carried out, so it is best to consider those from various car manufacturers The optimistic guess of the quotient.
In short, useless PR nonsense.
This whole thing is a complete fictional work. There is indeed one truck on the entire list that actually exists and is available for purchase at this time: Rivian R1T. If this analysis has any value, it will be a list, and Rivian gets the highest and lowest rankings, because, again, it is the only one that actually exists, is for sale, and can be objectively verified.
Just remind me to keep it simple, or decorate yours with RGB lights, touch screens or even digital thermostats.
Now, there are other possibilities: Ford F-150 Lightning is nearing completion, and the factory is preparing to build it. I can't imagine that Ford will not sell it. The same goes for the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Hummer EVs of other major automakers. I do think that Tesla will eventually build Cybertruck, but I really don’t hold my breath because it’s so fast, because Tesla Putting forward that it prioritizes the production of Model Y, Tesla only said that it will be "close" to production in 2022.
So, maybe you will see Cybertrucks in 2023? And, when you do this, there is no guarantee that any specifications Tesla now claims will be the final result of the final production model. This is also true for all manufacturers: I would not believe any pre-production estimates of range or payload or even cost until the truck actually exists and is tested by a non-manufacturer or person responsible for sales.
I bet Bollinger will actually make some trucks, although I don't know how many. I don't think they will do a lot of work, but they have done it long enough and have shown enough development and seem to have the resources to make things happen.
I feel uncomfortable for Altis, Hercules, Lordstown or Alpha Wolf to say this, and I certainly don’t believe any specifications or figures that any of these companies say, at least not without some kind of confirmation, or at very least, The ultimate, producible truck that exists in the world.
So, here is the conclusion: As expected, the Internet is full of nonsense. The insurance company looked at at least 10 EV pickup trucks, of which only one is actually on sale, and chose a truck that is “most worth buying”, which will not be available until 2023 at best.
And, keep in mind that for the winning truck, Tesla’s Cybertruck, there are 1 million pre-orders, so you actually won’t get one until around 2024 or 2025.
I really like that the only thing you can buy ranks sixth.
Therefore, if you will soon see any "analysis" or "buyer's guide" about EV pickups on any website, please remember to be cautious about them and do some research.
Now I will go back and ignore these emails.
Cybertruck will never start below 40k. They announced the price before raising the price of the Model 3 by 8k. You know that a person doesn't stay that low during production.
