Whats the point of an electric truck using the same chassis and body of a diesel one?
The cybertruck has the bed size of a single cab since it doesn need to waste space on a engine, and since there is no transmission you save even more space below the chassis where the cardan and gearbox would be.

Induction motor - "independently invented" by both Ferraris and Tesla. Doesn't sound like his own accomplishment to me.
How about his free energy technology that will transmit electricity wirelessly throughout the world? How about him speaking to aliens from mars? How about the experiment where he shot electricity through his body till the wires melted and he came out perfectly intact?

Holy kek, you understand that Tesla actually claims all of that in his only written work, right? I know more about Tesla than you Tesla shill.

Yes he was extremely ambitious and like any other proper scientist/inventor of that time had big ideas to pull off

You know the Tesla coil doesn't actually do anything but shoot electricity around and look cool, right? I'm sure that is very impressive to someone like you.

So which of his experiments do you see replicated everyday (we've already established the induction motor was not his brainchild), and where is the sourcing for these experiments besides Tesla's articles in a science fiction writers magazine and CIA documents?

We have primary source evidence the pyramids exist, you can see them with your own eyes. The only primary source evidence we have for Tesla's cooky experiments are articles written in the most famous science fiction author of all times magazine, a few articles from newspapers (if you can't trust the media now, imagine how it was before the internet), and CIA documents (I shouldn't have to explain how unreliable these are)

Yes, I mean the problem is power draw. Putting any significant weight in the bed or towing an item reduces range by half or more.
This also means if you’re driving people around in your tesla your range reduces to a much greater extent than in a gas car.
