    Never understood this analogy, a vehicle runs on electricity therefore it has a sexual preference. Does that mean my house is gay because it uses electricity?

        You get your power by getting pounded by the sun?

        That’s Omega-level gay, and big bottom energy at that.

            Appreciate the content warning but with filth like that, the whole post should be tagged nsfw. Think of the children.

        Same. And if my batteries drain and I use the grid, it’s 100% from hydro, wind, and solar.

        It is. This picture is from the YouTube channel BoostedBoiz. They’ve been buying Tesla plaids and throwing Honda Odyssey bodies on them. They recently bought a wrecked Cybertruck and are having a hard time getting it working

          Oh no, that might actually be enough to make me want something Tesla made.

      Yes. You need to switch your house over to coal immediately!

      nothing gayer than having superior acceleration and handling, while also being more convenient and hilariously cheaper to refuel.

    Good luck lol. I dunno how you plan to swap the engine on an electric car considering it’s missing literally all of the parts required to make an combustion engine work, but good luck.

      The car will still run on electricity. The diesel engine will be mounted in the back to top up the battery, and for rolling coal.

        Didn’t they try something similar in a 1980’s three part documentary about a time machine?

      They’re not. It’s Boostedboiz on youtube. The engine is for the dodge next to it. It’s totaled, but they’re trying to get it working. They took a plaid and put a Honda Odyssey body on it too.

    shoving a Cummins unto a cyber truck is pretty dope. unfortunately, the cybertruck just is not fit for truck stuff as whistlin diesel has proven (the frame snapped from towing a truck because of it being a unibody)

      Tbf he also drove it off a flatbed already at that point, and the undercarriage was smashed up. I could have broken something before he got to that step, but it wasn’t a good look for sure.

        The frame being aluminum and the truck weighing less than the F150 lightning is indicative that something is wrong as Ford just slaps electric parts into an F150 frame. You don’t get a stainless steel covered truck weighing less than an aluminum body electric truck out of nowhere. Sure, the moving away from 12v to 48v lets the wiring be smaller gauge but it shouldn’t be enough to offset the body weight difference.

    … isn’t that like the only bit of the car that doesn’t need swapping?
    Wouldn’t that just downgrade it further (which is an achievement tbh)?

    I am the opposite of petrolhead, but even to me it seems like a waste of perfectly fine new motor.

    They should have left the truck where they found it.
