    F150. You can still siphon gas in the apocalypse. Once the grid goes down, that cybertruck is fcuked unless you know how to harness a rivers energy. There is solar but aint nobody got time for that, or at least Im not smart enough for that.

    Train the zombies to pedal stationary bikes = endless charges for your Tesla.

    Sort-term, agree with @donkeypunch - it's the F150. Not only is fuel more readily available, more importantly parts are more readily available via scavenging. Also, the battery life- common guy probably can't replace the cybertruck battery 10 years down the road (which is why I have a couple of PhD friends on my 'apocalypse friend' list).

    Actually, Id take a small older toyota or nissan truck with a manual gearbox now. Better on gas, engines are bulletproof, gets through more spaces cause of size and if the battery does die you can still shift start them. And like Xerobull said, parts are more available and are basic with no electronic sensors and all that bs.

    I hope you all have plenty of stabilizer for all of that reclaimed gas.

    Probably better to stick with diesel.

    Solar doesn't take too long if you have stationary storage paired with it. Tesla just so happens to sell those too. Attach giant utility scale batteries to solar farm and allow it to charge up, then fill up your car anytime as needed from those batteries without need for grid. It's an end to end zombie apocalypse solution. Or more practically, useful for when oil runs out and civilization ends (if EVs haven't proliferated by then).
