The range is reduced when used to haul things around or when the AC/heat are used. With charging being significantly slower compared to filling up a gas vehicle and without the option to use a gas can if it runs out, there are unknowns and people don't like unknowns.
I think the range is fine for regular light use personally, but being concerned about a fairly short range isn't completely baseless. Or would be if the people buying it actually used it as a work truck.
