Nov 21 Truck Reveal

Putting my name in the bucket as well. If anyone has a +1 or more, I'd be willing to work something out to attend. Me and a couple of friends are from Oklahoma and happen to be in LA for a wedding. I convinced them to buy model 3s with me and it's been a dream of mine to attend one of these events.

Rest assured, there will be some hype on all things Tesla, as that’s what these events are all about - to stimulate orders and sales. Looking forward to the announcements and later comparing actual delivered goods to those items announced later at this event. Happy EV motoring, all!

SpaceX-type thrusters on a car? I still think he's joking. But given that Elon Musk said so...maybe not.

I think this explains it...
Being that Hawthorne airport is next to SpaceX
Hi
The real advantage of an electric pickup - to people who actually USE a pickup - will be
(1) Mains power in the bed
Keep all of your batteries charged and use all of your big power tools without waiting for the Sparky to arrange power at the worksite
(2) Tesla's "Sentry Mode" can keep an eye on all of your tools and materials for you

The Hawthorne Municipal Airport is where they had the Tesla Semi and Roadster reveal. The runway is pretty small so I don't know if they could handle a plane that size.
I was thinking they could have the Tesla pickup pulling a Tesla Semi pulling a trailer loaded with Model S, Model X, Model Y, Model 3 and both Roadsters.

So then.. Harrison Ford will be driving the cybertruck out of a BoringCo tunnel, pulling a SpaceX rocket.
Think of the headlines: Ford reveals new Tesla pickup.

It's great that Tesla is going to be producing a truck.
If they could even get 10% of the truck market, it would be a huge win.
Electric motors are a natural for towing and hauling, lower the final drive ratio to about 15:1 and pull anything. Top speed over 100 MPH isn't required.

Well that and if it could tow 12k lbs...would be scrapping a diesel...which are expensive to own. VERY good point on tesla sentry reducing tool theft. Never thought of that...
Very predictably. To summarize, "Haters gonna hate."

Exactly what I was thinking. Everything that guy says gets parsed to infinity. LOL
