You're assuming that everyone is using their trucks to tow across the country
Some only have a towing range of around 100 miles, a 50 mile round trip isn't that crazy.
What GM trucks are you talking about? Again, I'm not a truck guy so I don't follow developments in this sector.
Totally agree. I'm just pointing out that Democrats didn't just flip a single seat in Texas like the person above made it seem.
I was being hyperbolic, I see that wasn't clear though. Yes you can tow with an EV truck but, the range is halve or less than the ICE equivalent. Like with EV cars, the general puplic isn't going to switch to EV truck until its an equal proposition. Today, EV trucks perform worse and cost more than ICE trucks so their aren't many buyers.
Sorry, I didn't mean its literally impossible to tow something with an EV truck. My point was more that at best, that's halve the range of an ICE F150. So an EV will perform worse and cost more, that's not very appealing to most buyers. EV cars had the same problem, today though an EV car has the same range as an ICE car.
Demacrats fliped seats for Governor, Senate, and Congress.
Boring and soulless is always subjective. I know plenty of Honda guys that love their civic, accords etc.
Sure, it could of been a cool truck if it wasn't for Elong. A non-nazi and properly built truck with this goofy styling could have succeeded. The execution was just dog shit though lol
IDK if that's true, I'm not a truck guy though. But, I think the bigger issue with EV trucks is that they're simply worse. You can't tow anything with an EV truck, I think if truck buyers got the benefits of an EV without having to sacrifice what their current trucks are capable of wed see the adoption needed.
FYI for everyone, they will be releasing cheaper models as time goes on. They stated before that they will start with the most expensive (this I guess) and work their way down the product line. Pretty standard business move that every company does, we'll just need to wait a bit for the reasonably priced phones.
Its crazy to me that this is a real profitable business. Some of these leases only allow you to drive the car like 40 miles a year. You don't even get to enjoy the car itself, just paying like a mortgage+ a month to lean on a car to look cool lol
Doesn't China already ban the importing of cars in general? To me it would seem the US would leveling the situation between countries.
I switched to Lemmy a few years ago and a tools community is the one I've missed the most. Every other group has at least a handful of active users, except this one.
