Compete? There is not a huge demand for EVs. They are all making a huge mistake. Sell all auto stocks now!!!
There is no one in my circle of friends/family that wants an EV. None. My F-I-L wants a E-golf cart does that count?
I understand your point but it is not completely valid.
With regard to trucks, Ford is counting on a major plan for an electric truck that will serve those who actually need and use pickups as working tools. Ford is planning on making an electric F150
Tesla has designed a pickup from scratch as a working truck. The work concept includes features that make it a better work vehicle. It is not intended for everyone. It is intended for those needing a working truck. In spite of some limitations, the Tesla truck will be superior simply because it is better.
I am not a fan of electric vehicles and certainly have no intention of acquiring one. But in Tesla, I see major disruption to existing vehicle markets coming this year as the products come off the production lines by the tens of thousands.
The coming of electric semi’s is a similarly done from absolute scratch design that is going to be interesting as well. It ain’t your daddy’s Pete any more
