The Cybertruck does a whole bunch ours do not. that was a dumbass owner that violated the 32" depth limit. Our lightnings would have done the same if we even got that deep. Driving development of EV trucks is not furthered by slinging stones at competitor's trucks.
LMFAO

We can add artificial reef to the list of capabilities.

The CT was a big disappointment, as is Elon - just ask people dying in Africa from Ebola because he shut down AID (one of his minions called Ebola a 'hoax').

I remember when Elon used to talk about saving the planet...we didn't know he meant save it all for him.

Is making a joke really 'slinging stones' anyway?

I guess we are finding out that some politicians and oligarchs can't take a joke?

AMC's "Audacity" is perhaps a good commentary on where things could be headed if we let rich tech sociopaths and AI run our world unrestrained.

Maybe this will incentivize Ford to add a new "mode" to the Lightning as part of the redesign

True, we should be slinging at the CEO.

I'm interested to know what truck stuff the CT does that our Lightnings do not. I'm not a Tesla basher, but I am a truck guy, and very little that I've seen about the CT fits my "truck" functions, so I'm open to your thoughts about it.

Not all of them have it but the air suspension feature looks nice to have. Air suspension equiped CTs are adapt the vehicle level to the load and can also lower/raise the trailer ball into and out of the trailer hitch when hitching and unhitching.

To me it would be a nice feature to have but not one that I'd buy a CT to get.

Scotty kept referencing the glue that holds the truck together. JerryRigEverything did a whole video on it. Then proceeded to way over stress the tow hitch and proved how good it actually is. I kind of appreciate the effort that went into how the CT was designed. The original press video has gone down in history with the broken glass etc. but Tesla's truck was a good effort. It's their crazy leader that I'm disappointed in.
