I just don't get why someone would want an EV truck.

Besides, even if you use it mainly as a car with every now and then truck chores, why get an EV that charges at only 250kW when others charge at 350kW?

However, if you get the 3-motor version it claims to have a 500 mile range (obviously if not loaded with cargo). But if it has a 250kWh battery, at 250kW coming in it'd take at least 48 minutes to charge it to 80%.

And that assumes the buyer is in a situation where an EV is good for them anyway.

That thing is even uglier that a Pontiac Aztek.
Blech.

I’m around #50,000. Hope the ride is as good as the Ram 1500 I had.

Couldn’t they afford to hire an actual stylist to keep this thing from looking like something a 4-year-old had doodled?

Tesla design for that truck is stupid looking.

Come January 2024 all trucks must be electric to operate in servicing ports, rail yards, and distribution centers in the state of California.

I bet this will be extended again and again as when you read the article that there are no trucks available let alone charging stations and a simple answer for “how long will it take to charge and what is the range?”
