Until an electric pickup can go 300+ miles loaded, it ain’t ready for consumers. I’ll stick to my 3/4 ton with diesel engine, thanks.
Excellent point. A bunch of various car companies already have EV pickups on sale, however, existing gas-powered pickup owners are totally unimpressed by all of them. They're a huge disappointment. Notice that there's one company that's been planning for more than a decade to do an EV pickup but still hasn't put one on the road yet. I'll give you 10 guesses which company that is. On second thought, I'll give you just one guess.
At least three years ago, Tesla finally announced it would put into production an EV pickup by mid-2021. Now that we're closing in on fall 2022, there's still no sign of it. Most recently, however, Tesla announced its first EV pickup will go into production in 2023 and be on the road in late 2023. So my guess is Musk intentionally delayed production because he wants to first see how all the others do with their EV pickup attempts. He's surely learning there are lots of things existing gas-powered pickup owners really don't like about the EV pickups currently on the road. There's not a single EV pickup on sale today that the pickup community likes. I suspect when Tesla finally puts out its first EV pickup, in another 1 1/2 years, it's going to totally blow away the competition. The guy builds rockets that carry U.S. astronauts to the Space Station, so he should be able to do the best EV pickup by far. (After all, it's not rocket science.)
For any EV to be more than a city car they need an HONEST 350 mile range That means on the high way with AC, wipers, headlights and radio on.
Note, for a second car used for running errands in town they are not a bad choice if you have a charger at home.
And charge in ten minutes at any gas station
