If it weighs over 6000 pounds and you have a small business, you can completely write off 100% of the purchase in one year.
Can you explain more? Not sure how that’s possible

That's called the 5-to-60 time. Car enthusiasts benchmark both 0-to-60 and 5-to-60 because that rollout can change the behavior of various cars. What we have here is Tesla taking the 5-to-60 time and pretending its a 0-to-60 time. Rollout is fine and all, just ya know, be honest about it. Call it a 5-to-60 time.
> Rollout is fine and all, just ya know, be honest about it. Call it a 5-to-60 time Are they not honest? It says so right in the spec quote. Why is "5-to-60" honest but "with rollout subtracted" dishonest? One is jargon and the other English, but I think you have to stretch really hard to read in an attempt to deceive here.
5-to-60 strikes me as plain English. 0-to-60 with rollout subtracted is just bullshit.
The cheapest F150 Lightning (available today not in 2025) is $50k (vs $60k for Cybertruck), same 250 mile range but AWD standard , and is a regular pickup truck compatible with standard accessories and parts for doing actual pickup truck work. Of course, most of the buyers of either the Cybertruck or the F150 Lightning probably aren't getting much dirt under their fingernails. Everyone I know doing construction/trade…
I'd vote for updated bmw i3 as well. that thing was under appreciated.

> With the ability to pull near infinite mass and a towing capability of over 14,000 pounds, Cybertruck can perform in almost any extreme situation with ease. This is direct quote from the Tesla site from 3 weeks ago. It’s now 11,000lbs on the linked page. More Musk bullshittery.
It can pull infinite mass. Just not all at once!
I can pull near infinite mass too!

Funny that the cheaper model's 0-60 time is listed as "4.1 SEC. 0-60 MPH", but the more expensive model is listed as "2.6 SEC. 0-60 MPH With rollout subtracted." The whole rollout for 0-60 thing is a big fuss in the car magazine subculture - instead of counting zero to 60 from a standstill, they now count zero to 60 in a drag race style, where you have to trip the starting light by going forward a foot or two. What t…
Couldn't software gradually increase power to match the grip of the tires and prevent spinning? Or would that slow it down because a spinout 0-60 (not counting rollout) is faster that a "perfect throttle" 0-60?
High performance almost always wants this stuff off so humans can use skill/judgment to push it to the limit.

Zero means zero. Who decided they could change the definition of zero?
I like how it looks and I find it weird people seem to believe that their opinion is absolute truth and that anybody who doesn't hate it is wrong. What I found the most surprising is that implies people don't actually believe cars on the road right now are ugly. Do people really look at SUVs and think "wow, is that thing pretty?"
So you think it's weird that other people believe that their opinions are right and everyone else is wrong. Have you been on a desert island or something ?
