hmm Its something I'll keep and eye on. would need to see the finished product.

Union tradesmen here, I don't think Tesla is on the approved list of union auto producers. I'll get called a scab and shunned if I drive a Tesla, just as i would if i pulled up in a toyota

i saw a telsa towing on the interstate.
it was doing about 45 in a 75.
so no

I completely would. If they could replicate a Toyota Tundra with even more torque id be sold.

Nope. I’ll stick with GM trucks.

>use your tools all day
>can't go home

>union cuck
leave my country

this has my interest, although I probably wouldn't get one. Don't need it.

Tesla Pickup will definitely need cup holders that can actually fit cups in them, and An A.I. waifu.

No one can be sure it is your country becuase your using a fucking meme flag

>t. bootlicker

t. single handedly destroyed American industry
Your a bunch of undying socialists.

No. And im on the path to become an electrician.

Maybe some of us wouldnt feel like the union is our only option if you didnt enable (((job creators))) who import and hire illegal migrant labor

>what woud you love to see in a Tesla pickup truck?
A supercharged V8

A unions only job is to prevent advancement for everyone but the selfish boomers inside. Unions are literally the reason we started out sourcing.

All I had to do was go to the local union hall and sign up to take the apprenticeship exam. No gatekeeping or nepotism involved. Show us your flag, pedro.

Pick ups are meant to be practical and utilitarian.
Very few are any more having all become luxury toys for bankers larping as farmers and a Tesla pickup would be the furthest possible thing.

Here fag. And that isnt a Union. A union is a hereditary or "I know a guy" kind of club that abuses local resources for their own gain whilst doing as little work as possible.

Its literally the local IBEW & NECA union. You sound bitter.

Outliers will be outliers then. Good job finding a good one.

Unions are only worth a shit in white supermajority countries. Jews outsource production and spics are the ultimate scabs. Unions died a progressive death in the 90s

you're both right
unions shouldn't exist, but if your job has a union, you better join if you plan to stay there

He’s not in Israel though

Dont project your bitter feckless experience with the IBEW onto me. Now I know how Chads on Jow Forums feel when others whine about not being able to get laid and Chad just says "idk brah maybe you just suck, try harder brah, everyone can do it, just b urself ;)"

I'm a 25 year old boomer but im planning to join my local IBEW once I get the apprenticeship so I can get the health +dental insurance and that fat union pension plan.

I think unions could serve white workers well in a country that actually gave a damn about them, but this isn’t that country

Construction Unions making 15 dollars an hour and doing zero labor is why I'm bitter.

Tfw no tailpipe to have relations with

Life isnt fair. I learned that when 3 of my friends became Chads who brag about fucking girls with boyfriends then getting the boyfriends arrested when he finds out.

>making 15 dollars an hour

my helper's helper makes more than that lol

Do something about it or keep whining.

well over half of americas job pay less than 10 dollars an hour. Construction workers barely deserve minimum wage, let alone twice that. Its a common trait in Unions, they can't get fired, they do no work,and get inflated wages. Fuck blue collars.

Keep whining.
WOMP WOMP ;)

Are you under the impression I am poor and or liberal? I just hate unions retard.

Youre impotently whining like an impoverished liberal, yes.

I hate Unions because my firm can't get to them. It's an absolute bitch to audit their activities. So fuck them desu.

>I hate Unions because my firm can't get to them. It's an absolute bitch to audit their activities. So fuck them desu.
WOMP WOMP

You are using the meme wrong, reddit.

You're impotently whining about something that you cant change. That makes the meme appropriate in this situation, you feckless meek little whiny loser.

Your bitter complaining warrants all the WOMP WOMPs I can post until you leave the thread.

If it didn't cost as much as a luxury car I'd consider it, but it will, so I wont.

i'm an electrician. you couldn't do what I do without years of training. I make many times minimum wage because I possess a skill set that is in high demand and can not be outsourced to another country.

In my union, if you're useless you get laid off and you sit. IBEW is a private sector union, they need to compete with non-union labor. Union isn't competitive if we have a bunch of guys not doing anything...

you sound very bitter, maybe you should make better life choices. there's nothing "inflated" about my wage, if my bargaining agreement makes me us expensive to employ, then we won't be employed. If you think electricians make too much money then stop using electricity faggot, the only reason you can is because of people like me.

Cant wait to start my 1st year apprenticeship, everyone at the local IBEW hall is so friendly and easy to get along with.

Got any tips?

Union bois are a bunch of democratic dick riders that sit around all day and just say "MUH UNION".
Unions are the reason why the new Ford GT is made in Canada while Honda is making the new NSX in Ohio. I love American cars, especially Jeeps, but American auto companies are the biggest hypocrites sometimes.

Hahahah he listens to what the union says. Fuck that, drive what you want. I've yet to see anyone challenge me when I drove a Hyundai. Unions only protect each other from stealing another trade union's work. Not fucking provide him with a meal.

Do something about it then, faggot.
womp
womp

Fren?

Unions are for fucking low level niggers

>i saw a telsa towing on the interstate.
>it was doing about 45 in a 75.
>so no

probably some boomer was driving it, boomers will go 45 in a 75 even driving a corvette

So you're ok with Pedro and Paco setting up the wiring in your new McMansion, obviously.

You're almost 2 years behind me my dude, wouldn't expect any less from a union boi :). I helped the GOD EMPEROR get in office.

>user, you missed the fucking turnoff

>Tay, there’s a cop behind me, wut do

>Tay, what did you do?
>who me? Nothing...
>Tay...
>well user, remember that last upgrade? I had a 30 mm cannon fitted, and charged it to your neighbours
>good girl

>Its literally the local IBEW & NECA union. You sound bitter.

good luck trying to get hired by a non-union shop when your unemployment bennies run out

Don’t listen to the fags on this board. They never worked a day in their lives.

Lel if you say so

>Driving a Corvette
You hit the nail square on the head with that one

And you think Trump is going to abolish trade unions because (You) want him to? Stop smoking so much weed and come back to reality.

My local IBEW instantly shoehorns apprentices into union-chartered shops so I dont know what imaginary headcanon youre referencing...Why are you so intent on enabling Paco and Juan's non-union labor?

A device that automatically drives the truck off a cliff ofnthe person driving it doesn't need to haul anything.

Pick up fags make me so mad. And there's so many in my family.

Women who drive pickup trucks are subhuman cancer.

What program are you going for? The only real tips I got for you are to make yourself as useful as possible. If they stick you with a decent journeyman, absorb as much knowledge as you possibly can. The old fuckers know and have seen a lot of shit. Help move the job forward, don't be the fuckup that impedes progress.

Nice, I've always wanted a truck with a range of 6 feet.

He should be getting on the utility wagon market. Everyone is excited about the electric Subaru XV, and everyone's complaint about the last one was how ridiculously slow it is. A lifted Tesla wagon could be faster and more efficient.

I love my truck. I look down at you little people. You're such an inconsequence.

On the truck question. What is msrp?tow ratings? van bodys? Highway vs city models? Cab chassis in several sizes? Resale? Life expectancy? Maintenance cost?
If it meets my needs ill buy anything. Running 12 trucks on average for plumbing work i got it pretty well figured out.
On unions fuck them its thier own fault if they suck around here the plumbing union is just an excuse to sit around 9 mo a year and rape public funded jobs. I love stealing rate work from those fucks and my guys love the bonus and still bust ass and make my money.

I dont know any specific program yet (do you mean specialties?) but the local IBEW im taking the test with has apprentices doing regular commercial work, apparently. After we do 380 hours of in-class instruction then we get indentured to a union-charter shop and start making $ working on jobsites. My friend just finished his 1st year apprenticeship with a union-charter shop and hes already got his twice-a-year pay raise, he says its the best decision hes ever made.

Mmmuhhhh Obama pickup

I was kidding about that. My after work vehicle is a Mercedes. Nobody at the hall has ever said a fucking thing when I roll up in it to pick up vacation checks. They do, of course, encourage you to support other unions whenever possible though.

I want a truck that consumes as much fossil fuel as possible

Muskrat shills are all reddit fags btw

Oilfield trucker here, stay mad welfare fag.

Musk can't even make a functional golf cart, how's he going to make a vehicle a tradesman has to make a living with?

>My local IBEW instantly shoehorns apprentices into union-chartered shops so I dont know what imaginary headcanon youre referencing...Why are you so intent on enabling Paco and Juan's non-union labor?

Go sit in for a job interview at a non-union shop and pull out your Journeyman's card out and see what happens when they found out you're a union guy.

>Go sit in for a job interview at a non-union shop
Thats like telling Chad to go pork some fatties. Or telling Varg to racemix with a syrian refugee.

No thanks.

they make vans with all those features now

kike

Hey man, don't throw me in with that cousin fuckin yee yee, "aint a truck without a lift" crowd

If it has big enough batteries for working a full day and the drive back for up to 200km total sure, if not No.

> not picking a Hillux over any other pick up.

I wanna say fuck you and the giant inflatable rat you flew in on, but that would be rude.

Plz stop putting up inflatable rats in front of my work sites

Yes. Gas is fucking expensive and driving a 5 ton pickup doesn't help

truckfag here, would buy. electric torque would be great for driving over things and triggering liberals

I just bought a v8 ram so I'm good for now. But serious question for tesla fags. Does the rise in electricity offset what you save nor getting gas?

my dad has a boner

Why are you looking at your fathers dick?

Its völkisch brah

Alright come do my job faggot. Oh wait you can't because you're some fat fuck who posts on image boards all day while people are working.

>just as i would if i pulled up in a toyota
>Not driving a hilux

they don't sell those here and they're still toys. good for do-it-yourselfers and weekend warriors but not actual tradesmen

t. actual tradesman

>Being this much of an anti-union shill

No thanks, just bought a 16' GMC Sierra Crew Cab SLE 1500 4x4 to replace my gas guzzlin' 85' K10 swb that I dropped a 396 out of a 66' chevelle into. Got tired of people constantly asking to buy it off of me so now it's gonna sit in my garage and collect dust till I die.
Ain't nothing wrong with driving a Tundra or Taco with a 22re if you don't mind the bed rusting out from beneath you. Old man has an 01' Tundra with the 4.7l, fucking truck has 320k miles and is still running strong.

up here in Alaska and I wouldn't trust an electric in winter time

Fuck electric vehicles. Seriously they're the cars of dumbfuck envirofaggots

>government motors
>not based ford or Toyota/nissan

Have fun paying all those tow truck bills

>what would you love to see in a Tesla pickup truck?
Fire extinguisher. A big one.

never

>Ford
>being relevant after the mid 70's
pick one
Any tradesman that wants to 'help' the environment and has half a brain/the money would buy a Ram Cummins.

>trusting a machine with icy roads
Might as well include a loaded shotgun in the package to kill yourself faster.

I would. The main reason I don't drive one exclusively is because of how much gas costs. If I could get even 90% of the power of gas in a Tesla truck, I'd get one if it were around $50k or so. Considering any new pickup is already around that price.

is it affordable?

look at current truck prices and tell me a tesla truck will even be in that ball park

Just buy slightly used, brand new is a meme. I bought my 16' 6.2l 4x4 Sierra for 31,499 with 25k miles and it gets 21~24 mpg highway.

perhaps if the price was competitive.
