I have a gas, 4WD, 4WS pickup now. I thought about the GM EV 4WD, 4WS pickup and put a portable diesel generator in the back and operate it as a hybrid. And then I said, why?

One point under-appreciated by naysayers is fuel availability. They insult EVs for using coal ("burning fossil fuels!") or sun ("unreliable!"), but that's a feature: I can source electricity on- or off-grid, energy extracted from coal, gasoline, propane, NG, nuclear, hydro, wind, solar, etc. ... vs ICE requiring & tolerating nothing* other than gasoline. Hoping to get a Cybertruck, I fully intend the solar tonneau cover - may only provide energy for 1-10 miles per day, but as backup transport it can literally be powered by just parking, enough to get to other energy sources.

(* - an edge case exists for distilling trees into gasoline equivalent. Great theory, don't know anyone who can.)
