Sometimes I dump in 5 gallons of diesel in parking lot at destination, but I don't have to "stop"
anywhere else on my trip. What is this "500 mile range", in 20 degree weather, pulling that kind of load?

what’s this have to do with the post you quoted? I’m just comparing prices of 2 electric trucks...

One thing I just thought of, I guess that's the only color you are getting.

Elon did confirm there are other colors. At least black. But that's through wraps than paint.

I know they keep quoting "30x cold rolled stainless steel" but this is most likely 301 stainless like the space x rocket. At least it should be fairly easy to repair?
