Yeah, the idea of putting Trump in a truck is beyond silly.
The idea of putting Joe Biden in a truck is not silly at all.
Think of it this way: Putting Biden in a train travelling from Washington to his home in Delaware is not silly at all. He did it for decades when he was in the congress.
Putting Trump in a train travelling from anywhere to anywhere is fucking ridiculous.
It's just silly to put anyone in a vehicle they're not really driving...and pretend they are.....
Hope you're well and getting some rounds in...early....so freakin hot....
Trump existing is fucking ridiculous.
Nice to see that Luddites are alive and well.
All my golf is in the first round of the day. One of my partners is an expert at getting first spot a week in advance. He plays five days a week. I play four most weeks.
Even first round starts to get hot as the days move onto summer.
I'm not entirely sure he is not driving. He's certainly not putting or chipping.

So? You don't buy a pick up truck to drag race. You buy it to haul and tow stuff. Electric motor vehicles are less effective at towing.

So, don't expect people who are buying a pick up truck to use it for what it's designed for, rather than as some sort of status symbol, to be buying electric.

when you're driving around town how many of those pick up trucks are actually hauling anything, and how many have one passenger with an empty bed?
but you will definitely see them passing gas guzzlers with ease
why do you hate progress, and the planet for that matter?

Mine do. Every contractor in the US drives theirs into the ground hauling stuff. Plenty of people own one to tow their toy hauler or trailer to wherever on weekends, their boat to the lake, etc. I just drove from Phoenix to Prescott then to Winslow and back to Phoenix yesterday in my truck to do some electrical inspection and repair work. Parts, tools, ladders, etc., were all in the truck. Total drive was about 400 miles. I burned about one and a half tanks of gasoline. Couldn't have done that in a battery truck. No chargers in sight anywhere, charging time being what it is would have had me sleeping in my truck somewhere (the hotels were full). Didn't see a single Tesla anywhere compared to seeing them some in Phoenix. You just can't do that with battery electric. Oh, I also was driving pretty steady 80 mph on the Interstate in heavy wind that often would add to the drag on the vehicle.
Then there was the haul up the Mongollon Rim and through the Verde Valley. Those two hill climbs would have laid waste to a battery vehicle.
Me? I want what works and battery vehicles don't work. What works is going to fuel cells using hydrogen or ammonia.
Oh, if they want me to go back to Winslow to do the building I inspected, I'll be taking 500 feet of 12/2 BX, 250 feet of 12/3 BX, 150 feet of 10/2 BX, rolls of THHN wire, conduit, ladders, 8 large ceiling fans, lighting, fixture boxes, and towing a trailer with a two man scissor lift on it.
No battery truck has the range to do that.

Rivian can tow somewhere in the ball park of 11,000 lbs. https://www.caranddriver.com/rivian...hat every R1T,payload capacity of 1760 pounds.
For comparison a Hemi Ram can tow about 12,750. Not that far off

There's more to it than that. Battery range drops dramatically with a heavy towed load, even more if you are going up grades like in mountain areas.
I was wrong about there being a second steering wheel, it was a camera. The Biden not driving conspiracy has been busted.

So now the president is a truck driver, huh?
Did he switch parties, or is he going for a laugh?
I picture my man Bernie in a 1952 MGTD.
Nice scarf and cap, Bernie!

How can it be popular when it just came out?
