If the C8 could launch like a 911 Turbo S, I would be impressed. But, it needs serious help.
Sounds goood though. Truck, Fridge, is ugly. |

That is an absolute football bat of a "truck".
Can anybody tell me whether an F-350, Ram 3500, or a 3500 Duramax is faster in the 1/4 mile? I'm guessing not, because nobody who drives a truck places other than Starbucks and Target f**king cares. But hey, at least it's "bulletproof". |

It's just like the SUV segment. There are those who need a truck or SUV but want sports car acceleration. That's why the Trackhawk, Durango Hellcat, Lambo Urus and Model X Plaid exist. |

In fact, I don't see anywhere on here that 1/4 mile time is even mentioned on either site. Why? Because they're trucks. They're made to do things other than go in a straight line. With the exception of EV humpers trying to hang on the singular thing that they actually do well, nobody gives a shit how fast a truck goes in a 1/4 mile. In the case of the 2 that you mentioned, they're offroad vehicles that can actually do off road things as well as any other hauling requirement... unlike the 7,000 pound Starbucks parking lot cruiser that can't do a damn thing offroad and is lucky to make it beyond your neighbor's driveway if you're dumb enough to put a trailer behind it. https://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/models/f150-raptor/ https://www.ramtrucks.com/trx.html The Cybertruck goes on pavement in a straight line and absolutely NOTHING else. But yea, good job on that whole bulletproof thing. |

Same goes for those who purchase a Durango Hellcat, Trackhawk or Model X Plaid.. There is no functional advantage over the regular Durango, Grand Cherokee or Model X Long Range. Those who buy those want acceleration!! TOP speed is limited on TRX and Raptor to just over 100 mph, so top speed isn't a reason why someone buys those. |

Well, no. Those who buy them want a badass truck that can do badass truck things. The acceleration that they have is just a byproduct of that. They look good. They drive great. They're fun. They're a blast offroad. ...and shockingly enough, they're still incredibly capable trucks. Your simple minded view that the only thing people care about is how fast vehicles go in a straight line (because it's all that you know) is absolutely absurd. The Raptor comes with 37" offroad tires on it and the Ram comes with 35s. Anybody who thinks they're in any way made for a 1/4 mile is a f**king moron. The Raptor and TRX are both exceptional offroad trucks and are often used as such. They can also tow when needed. The Cybertruck is a 7,000 pound turd that is absolutely useless as a truck. It's useless offroad. It's useless with a trailer. It's useless for anything beyond driving to Target. It's absolutely nothing more than a fashion accessory for Elon fanboys and youtube creators. The Cybertruck couldn't even make it TO the places where the Raptor and TRX go to shine. Are you really trying to argue that the Cybertruck is as good at being a truck as the Raptor and TRX? |

You can care about your vehicles acceleration without ever going to the drag strip. Most racing is still done on the street.. People don't buy a 700 HP truck to drive like a grandma. |

I already did.
You ignored it and deflected. As usual. For starters, why don't you take a look at the links I posted and see how they're marketed. They are both awesome offroad trucks as they come off of the showroom floor. They are both more than capable of hooking up a trailer and towing a SxS, dirtbikes, or anything else to the places that a Cybertruck can only dream of. It may come as a surprise that a large percentage of people that buy Raptors and the TRX also align very well with people who do other offroad activities. I know that it may be difficult for you to understand, but people outside of your tiny little bubble actually do use trucks for things other than going to Target. We won't even start down the path of the immeasurable things and intangibles like the sound, appearance, and overall driving experience that the 7,000 pound Tesla can't even begin to compete with. Again, your simple minded view that accelerating in a straight line on pavement is the only measure of a vehicle is absurd. Of course I can't really blame you. It's the only argument you have... Heil Elon. |

Never seen a Raptor or TRX with mud all over it.. They are usually shined up to the max and you see them in the Walmart Parking lot. |

If you really need that explanation, and it seems that you do, you simply don't get it and never will. EVs are a perfect fit for you. |
