Saw an article about an EV 4WD claiming 600 mile range but only about 2% of the population have that kind of money...

Musk recently killed his idea of a $25k EV. Must not have been profitable.

EVs have their places they fit and apply well, kind of like sports cars and other specialty vehicles. The market will decide. I want a hybrid crew cab PU with a 500 horse IC engine and 400 horse battery power than can run alone or both at once. I’d pay 80K for that.

Well if there are enough others like you and such a vehicle can be privately manufactured and be profitable for those who make it and if the vehicle is durable and safe, you may get your wish. However many EV dreams have not happened. Whatever happened to the big semis that Tesla once showed, EV aircraft or the real resale value of used EVs? Do the batteries hold up and remain safe after a couple of years? Final story not yet written but the EV concept has big limitations.

I want something similar to the Genesis Electrified GV70 with FULL SELF DRIVING.

If Tiger Woods had FSD...
