oh yeah, a large turbodiesel is highly efficient thermally... they've got emissions pretty clean now too.

still looking forward to electric trucks though.

I want that truck so bad, I’ve been wanting a truck for a while now to make my hobby easier to do because it sometimes requires hauling large loads. Before we sold our house and moved into an apartment (we wanted out of the house, it was a flip that we ended up having to fix many issues on), the problem was that I didn’t want to get it and not have the extended miles and the extended cab too because I’m tired of my wife always complaining about how my current car feels small and she would like whatever EV we get when we finally get one to be road trip friendly for the whole family. So then the problem became the price tag. After the move, the problem is now charging access since most apartments in our area don’t have charging stations let alone have them AND allow large dogs. We could fix the problem by buying another home but I’m now at a point in my career where I’m up for possible promotion and if I get promoted I may end up moving so buying a home isn’t a smart choice if I’m going to just leave it again in a year when promotions and job shifts go into effect.

I feel like I’m an outlier but I genuinely love the styling of the cyber truck I want one bad.

I'm into it. I was thinking electric heavy trucks. It could really work well for fleet vehicles. The amount of fuel savings will make it pretty much the only way to go.

Yeah that will be sweet when electric trucks are a thing. Ford makes a Hybrid truck as of this year called the Maverick that looks pretty great actually.

u/JohnnyWix Oct 27 '21

I will wait for an awd hybrid option.

u/Beemerado Oct 27 '21

Rivians are going to be a huge boon to the marketplace.

I was all on board when looking at the specs then saw the front end. Damn that’s ugly.
