I’ve noticed consistently model 3 and y have their brights on when driving at night. Is it because the automated feature stinks or people can’t find the setting or what? Vs other cars it seems a trend…

It reminds me of something that would have been seen in Blade Runner. [/QUOTE]

Good one. Or maybe Tron.

We don't have the demographic here. I see many Tesla cars but have yet to see a truck. There are a few F150 electrics in my neighborhood and they're always clean.

The local Ford dealer has electric F150s on the lot. There's a 2023 XLT that was a little over $100K last year that is now $58K. If I got an electric, it would be a car, probably a Mustang, but not until Ford adapts the Tesla plug.

Possible, the one I saw was up in Brentwood. Not sure I would have noticed it but for the cyclist stopped across the road taking a picture of it.

To me, the only elegant Tesla is the first one, no surprise since the body was designed by Lotus.

Towing is one of my biggest gripes with electrics. Sure, it can tow 11k lbs. But would anyone who actually tows heavy loads really consider an electric truck?

This guy tested it and range was less than 100 miles. And check the overcrowded charging station.

I’ll stick to my gas F150 for a while longer.

I haven't noticed any F150 electrics locally...I think most of the big pickup drivers are more traditional. I have seen Rivian trucks (and Lucid sedans), but they look like lifestyle vehicles rather than work trucks.

In Santa Rosa over the weekend. It was brown, which should help hide the rust.

Have not seen one on the road yet, but went to the King of Prussia mall to look at it before going out to dinner.

I was disappointed that it was blocked off and couldn't get a closer look.

Intrigued to say the least given the capabilities, but it's not for me.....yet.

It looks like a sheet metal shop project I made in 8th grade…….mine being 1/20th scale of course.

I've seen one. It was chasing an ugly stick. The ugly stick was terrified, and running for its life.
