And I think most folks arguing every point against the truck are likely doing it out of instinct against electric vehicles.
Still, show me the range while towing and some consistency, and Im way in on this.
I'm a hot rod lover to the bone, but the winds of change are blowing. When EV becomes truly practical ill gladly jump on board. But one of my current goals is to finish my old two stroke quadracer 250 build and take my kid out west to glamis. If i have to stop 6 times to charge between tulsa and socal its not going to work for me lol. I regularly pull a trailer to Dallas/KC/Arkansas/little sahara Oklahoma. A 400 mile towing range would work for me there, but idk about cross country vacations. [Reply]

If 100k = 400 miles does the 40k model go 100 miles? Is the 40k model even available to a retail customer?
As fast as vehicle costs are inflating it'll probably hit the market with a $90-150k gap on a 15 year note riding on a 10 year predicted battery lifespan.
Yeah, that's the trick. They're noticeably vague on actual price points. Miles of range per dollar is critically important. [Reply]

We had two Subarus until a few years ago, but (as you can tell in this thread) I'm a fan of EVs, and Subaru dragged their feet far too long. The wife ended up with a Nissan Leaf, and I just swapped for a RAV4 Prime (plug-in hybrid).
I hope Subaru can catch up, but they've got a long way to go. [Reply]

If an EV isn't for you yet based on range, charging speeds, and infrastructure, that's perfectly understandable. But keep an eye on them. Every year brings better options. [Reply]
It’ll be nice to have competition between Ford and Chevy for a truck but from what I can tell the Ford is pretty loaded at the lower price points and it seems doubtful Chevy could match it. [Reply]
