he doesn’t understand how cheap a new one is sitting in many a warehouse...only have 160k on muh ’95....yep, they’ll bury me in that fk’r...
just saw muh truck on Barrett’s yesterday go for 20k....
go price any truck today...
STICKER SHOCK
Book value on that '95 would be less than on your average unused mid range coffin to be sure. A damned funeral today costs more than any vehicle I bought new for cash. This is what happens when corporate fronts for the mob by all of the funeral homes up in advance of the deaths of WWII veterans. For decades a good funeral was 3 to 5 thousand depending upon where you lived. Now the damn plot is 2 grand, the coffin 5 or 6 more for a mid range, think 10 grand for all oak, and the cost of transportation, embalming, etc. jacks the whole morbid experience up to between 12 to 17 grand depending upon where you live/died.
It's why that stud of an ole man I had wanted what he called his Viking funeral (cremation sans longboat) so he could stick it to the bastards one more time.
The whacko part is that a vault is only required to keep the damn formaldehyde from seeping into groundwater. If you are buried in 24 hours in a pine box without being embalmed it is environmentally safe, and much cheaper. What idiots we are. We shut down fuels for the sake of pollution but the greater threat is our dumb*** funeral practices which corporations (many of which claim to be green) lobby to keep so they can rape the dead for expense.
The whole electric car thing is just another way to drive up the cost for less effective technology, a less reliable vehicle, and piece of crap too expensive to buried in that requires batteries that are more dangerous to the environment than damned gasoline.

I sold my 2010 Tundra because my wife kept hounding me that it was too big. I got a smaller Colorado and now she can't ybecause of her illnes get into that one. Man, I miss my Tundra, it had enough storage places to make a drug dealer happy, LOL. This Colorado is might pretty but like most mighty pretty women it ain't worth a Schiff. I'm sticking with it though as I don't have too many places to go other than just regular errands because I can't leave her alone for too long. Sometimes life sucks to no end. Oh well, that's my fate.
..and unlike that "Back to the Future" POS concept truck of Tesla's...Ill bet anything it will be a traditional truck with its traditional utility. Nothing wrong with that..Im just not interested to owning an electric vehicle at this point.
Musk is going to have to understand what a truck is and why most of us buy one. That prototype is not a truck and not practical for 99% of those that buy a truck for its utility. I think he is capable of selling lots of trucks...just nothing like that. Its a basically a curiosity not a legitimate product to market to anyone currently driving a truck.
So...You really believe that the current pickup owner would buy anything like that concept truck? If so?...You are dumb as a box of rocks. I doubt Musk has any intention of trying to manufacture or sell one like that anyway. Thats why its called a concept vehicle. You can bet your life if Tesla sells a truck it will not look like that.

Quote:Despite the recent drop, Tesla’s stock price is still up over 300 percent over the past 12 months. And its market value is more than the combined market capitalization of Toyota Motor, Volkswagen, Daimler, G.M. and Ford — companies that sell many more cars than Tesla.

It's going to be marketed towards wealthy suburbanites who use the bed once a year to haul some mulch. There's a Tesla on every corner in my neighborhood and Tesla's pickup will be sold to these people, not us on this forum.
I'm not Tesla's audience, but I wish them well. It's an American company, named after a great American, producing American-made products, with class-leading technology engineered by fellow Americans. I find it hard to root against them even if I won't be buying their products. Different strokes for different folks.
I'm not rooting against him or his company. I laughing at this "truck". I find it hard to believe that it would go to market packaged like that. As someone else mentioned it's unlikely the final product will look like that but then again, it IS Elon Musk.
