Electric trucks can definitely fill the jobsite niche. As production ramps up, the cost will decrease. Tesla will be the prime disrupter.

There is a big difference between one of these...

And one of these...

Electric job site trucks have been produced for decades and the prices have been going up not down even with increased production. Sadly, the price of the batteries which are the largest expense in producing either have not been going down with increased scale of production... they have been going up and up and up.

Wish in one hand and poop in the other and see which one gets filled the quickest.

I understand your point and you may be right.

Many pickups are used commercially on construction job sites and in Texas in the oil fields to just get around and haul light loads. I don’t mean the Mules or heavy duty golf carts, I mean pickups in the conventional sense. Electrics will have a place.

You think of the past or the present whereas I am looking at the future. There is going to be disruption as prices come down and ownership costs are actually considered.
