        That's a much more concise manifesto than some I've read. Now, about those....

            Oh, I was paying attention, where you? I've taken the evolutionary step to become "Homo Correctus" or "Always right man" as have most Americans (and most Canadians) on social media.

                  Made me rethink previous post when I said something about a guy with one hauling stuff, He was pulling a trailer
                  I'll try to get a Pic of it someday, like I posted, this guy is a farmer or something and his cyber thing gets put to test.

                        Saw one up close last week too, honestly looks like someone folded it out of scrap metal. Wild design, no doubt. Elon was either feeling bold or sleep-deprived when he signed off on it.

                        That said, they’re built tough and turn heads, for better or worse. If you’re curious, check out some owner reviews, ride quality and tech are solid, just gotta live with the looks.​

                          My impression of the cybertruck is that it seems to answer a lot of questions that nobody asked.

                          None of today's monstrously oversized pickups, EV or ICE, would be of interest to me. If I were a contractor or sub in the building trades, however, I might well be considering the F150 Lighning. Just being able to carry around your own electrical source for power tools when combined with lower maintenance costs and zero gas requirement would likely tip the scale for purchase.

                          Here is the electric pickup that does interest me currently. Won't be out for at least another year though.

                          Believe in truth. To abandon fact is to abandon freedom.

                          Nature bats last.

                              I reserved a Slate on day one, not sure if that means I will get one of the first ones off the line, but I hope so! If I do, I will probably just drive it around town for a couple months and then dump it....Lol.

                                The ability to easily do your own customization is going to be a big selling point. I'm interested in how much hauling capacity it has and if it'll be able to tow something. Unlike most pickup owners my trucks have actually been used to move things.
