Are the newer trucks really that bad, no longevity anymore?

Seriously? I have had a Tesla model s for 4 years now never froze on me or had to go into a shop. It really is a car built for perfection. I doubt it would freeze.

 

Definitely built for perfection, inside tents.

 

Lucky for you, because Tesla's literally freeze in cold weather.

 

The real issue with Tesla’s is charging time. Tesla’s at home take 9.5 hours to fully charge or 90 minutes at a supercharge place. That’s okay for cars. But not for rigs. We have places to go and we don’t need 2 hours of waiting to mess up our 14 hour clock. Granted there are work arounds such as shutting down at a supercharge spot and topping off at the end of the day but sometimes the way your load is scheduled that’s not possible to plan on.

 

Like I said they need to get their #### together. Tesla has engineered the future. Musk is a genius. Spacex ####ing under ground tunnels. Tesla is like apple in 1990 sumthin. They will succeed and build the future. I love this one girl from Tesla she said she see their stock going to 4000! A bit extreme but who knows. My personal belief is Tesla will top apple and Microsoft as the biggest company by market cap by 2050. You can’t rxpect self driving trucks that charge as fast as a diesel pump next year lol but I’m super confident it’s in my life time

 

That video looks fake as #### like what kind of rain or snow freezes like that?

 

I'm wondering when someone is going to start a thread named, "Are the older trucks really that good?" LOL

 

I realize there can be problems with any truck. I'm driving a brand new 2019 KW T680. I pulled the plastic off the seats and we are on our maiden trip. I made it about 2200 miles and got the dreaded "Red Stop Engine Light", and the "Yellow check engine light". Truck is currently at a KW dealer. I have been down now for 9 days and the problem has yet to be found. Codes indicate a fuel pressure issue. Since it's a warranty issue, KW is involved and Paccar is involved. So I don't have an answer to the OP questions, but this is really frustrating with a brand new truck. Thought I would share.

 

That's pathetic, I haven't had any codes show up on my e model in the 2 years I've owned it, and it's got 900k on the rebuild, it hasn't spent more than a day in a shop other than parked out of the cold.

 

Stop lying that soo convenient how your story just happened.
