To say truck boxes are dumb is as ignorant as shit.
Just because you or the people you have been around don’t know how to properly make use of them does not mean they are dumb. We have used them on our farm for years and have multiple trucks with them. I have made custom shelves to store batteries for power tools, shelves for ratchets and sockets, spots to hold the power tools that require the batteries. |

I hope like hell this succeeds and they make a true 3/4 ton electric truck because I will definitely be interested in it. This thing just doesn’t do anything for me or any work I do with a truck, it has a long way to go until it gets to that point. |

If you want an itemized list I can do that for you.
But the important thing is for me in my line of work, I need this shit. I need this shit stable going down the road and accessible when it isn't. And I need the EV to handle the shit I put it through reliably. But yeah. Your comments about toolboxes being impossible to organize is fairly offensive to a guy that has some cheap tools, put them in a cheap pickup and is trying to make a living with them. |

So while sitting in the hospital today I did some research on what I mean by this truck won’t work like my current 3/4 much less the 1 ton on the farm.
The Tesla would not work for hauling due to the time constraints and mileage we put in hauling to sale. It is around 75 miles round trip from the chute on the farm to the chute at the sale barn. I pass 4 gas stations on my way there and same 4 on the way back, 8 opportunities to fill up. Absolutely no chargers anywhere close to my route, it would be about an 1.5 hours out of the way to get to a charger. We load trailers up to 17,500-20,000 lbs each time, and we make around 5-6 trips the day before the sale. So roughly 350-420 miles in a day, while under the 500 mile range, it would blow through that battery way quicker. I’m expecting 250 fully maxed out for that trucks range. I do not have time to stop hauling to charge a truck up for an hour, whenever I can fill the truck up a few times in a total of 30 mins throughout the day. Now if it turns out the Tesla can still get 300 plus fully maxed towing, they start making a flatbed to go on the back, our contract with the current sale barn runs out, cattle prices rise, they put Super Chargers up instead of the Destination Chargers around the route, then I will seriously sit down and consider it |
