It's arguable whether this is use or testing, but Pepsi is using 21 of them here and they seem to be working out for them. Of course, this isn't Moosepucker Saskatchewan. https://www.ccjdigital.com/alternative-power/article/15635242/pepsico-on-tesla-semis-realworld-hauling-performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Junkman Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Saw a Tesla pickup (going in the opposite direction of course) on US 101 near Cloverdale, CA. Second one, or maybe the same one twice, I've seen on the same stretch of highway. Based on the recent reports in the media I looked for evidence of rust on the body. Sure enough the whole lower side below the character line was definitely brown. Showed quite a contrast to the upper body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy down the road who races an MGA has various racing people staying over from time to time. One has the factory blue of the Alpine, very similar to the original plastic bodied rally version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby steps . . . Two companies here in the UK recently gone down in the EV business, one tried building trucks/vans, due to little or no customers. The country wide charging infrastructure is no good. A recent survey announced that in an area of London where the parliament is has more street chargers than the rest of the country combined and government want us to buy EV's without sufficient chargers to keep them running. We are two and a half hours from the coast, my small diesel does up to 60 mpg, in an EV I would have to stop at least twice to re-charge and take twice as long to get there! All Energy costs have risen so electricity can be dearer than petrol/diesel in some area's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most states got the 262 cu in V-8 and California got a 350 cu in with a 2 bbl carb thanks to the Cal Smog requirements. Not usually seen in this good of condition.

iamsuperdan Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 It's a not a real AAR, so no one get their panties twisted over tinted glass and modern wheels. Digging this one. Airbags, modern steel wheels, cool patina. Interior is a work in progress. Local municipality has upped their spec for enforcement vehicles. So much for the more basic SSV or police responder model.

Spottedlaurel Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 An odd thing to see here in the UK, and maybe not that common now in its homeland? '93 Daytona 2.2, first registered here in 2003 and off the road since 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
