3500 is less than what I need unfortunately. I've overloaded my tacoma a bunch and I borrow my Dad's F350 when it's overloaded past the point of comfort for me.

Anything and everything? I do a lot of stuff...there's no one thing I can point to. Also, midsized trucks suck when towing a decent load lol.
I've towed boats, enclosed trailers with dirt bikes, campers, flat trailers with vehicles on them, flat trailers loaded down with supplies, etc. I've put my truck to work and after 100k miles with it, I recognize that I pull and carry enough weight where I need to step up to a full-sized truck when the time comes. I'd like to purchase a camper (we've rented a travel camper a couple times) and I don't want to be limited by the 6500lb tow limit I currently have. The camper we rent is just shy of 4,000lbs and you know it's there. I'd rather have the truck not break a sweat than having to plan my route to avoid hills.

Wait, we we getting payload and towing capacity mixed up? When you say payload, to me, that's only what you carry in the bed and possibly the cabin also. Anything on a trailer doesnt count towards that. Thats why I asked, to get 3,500lbs in the bed of the truck, you are hauling stone or heavy equipment. Towing for the base is 7,500, dual motor is 10,000, while the 69,999 tri-motor is 14,000lbs towing
Oh yea, my bad, I was having a brain fart and conflating the two

I was gonna say, 1000 lbs in the bed of a taco is really pushing it.
I probably reach 400-500 somewhat often.

Okay, so at 3,500 bed payload for all three variants, then the CT would work for almost anything you might need to tow. The mid-range dual motor (49,999) tows up to 10,000lbs, or any of the trailers below loaded down

Now if you need more than that, you gotta step up to the tri-motor at 69,999, that adds 4,000lbs to towing capacity.

Those TVs were built in America too, I remember the big Zenith plant in SW Virginia visiting family when I was a little girl. Easy to make a $600 TV today when you pay the Chinese pennies.

Crazy, but unlike the other car companies, they have a clear path to crazy growth ahead of them, and are demonstrating that they have the capability to achieve that growth. Right now, EVs are sitting at about 2.3% of total vehicle sales globally. So there's lots of room for growth. Even with competition, which, with the exception of the Mustang Mach-E, hasn't really materialized as expected.
And there are two other businesses that Tesla is in that no other car maker is, residential and grid energy storage, both of which look to grow pretty fast.
Tesla: Demand for Powerwall, Megapack continues to outstrip supply
Tesla said that it more than doubled production volumes of grid-scale energy storage solution Megapack in the third quarter of 2020 as the company continues to ramp up production to “match unprecedented demand across the globe”.

The newest solar roof (not traditional PV cells screwed to a regular roof, but replacing the shingled entirely) still has to show itself a bit more but could also make a lot of money. And only makes sense financially if you are replacing your existing roof already, but the price is dropping.

Oh no, not even close. Location, my friend. That roof, including an $8,000 Powerwall and installation was about 62K. Pricey for a roof, yes, but when you figure a new roof in Fremont, CA, add in the cost of a solar panel system, and also resale with a system this slick...... its not bad at all. Below is not this house, but something smaller in the same area. 3 bed, 3 bath, 1,600 square feet.
