Well, he said it was going to be different.



Starts at $40k, though. That's impressive.

My half ton (before it got ****ing destroyed) would get 18 with 1000 pounds of tools and short trips all over the farm on shit roads.

Fuel mileage is not a thing.

I mean as a daily driver for ten years. I definitely haven’t crunched any numbers but I’m going to assume 18 mpg over ten years is quite a bit more costly than an electric and more than a small suv. I’m not married to that idea though. I do like the idea of electric in general as well.

Electric as a commuter vehicle is the move, sure.

I just don’t understand why fuel mileage scared you away from a pickup until now.

I have no idea what you’re driving now but say it’s a 25 mpg 20K sedan.

The difference in purchase price is far more than fuel mileage. And that part won’t change with an electric.

I wouldn’t say fuel mileage has scared me away like it’s the deciding factor, though it is at least part of it. I’ve dabbled in looking at trucks but for me one thing that has actually been the most problematic is that if I want a full size cab (must have) I’m really sacrificing on truck bed length unless I just get something huge, which I don’t want.

So what I’ve also been thinking about is getting a suv and a trailer which requires me to find a place for the trailer. So I guess I’m not really comparing in my mind a 40k to 20k car when thinking about costs. But if I can get a truck (more convenient than suv/trailer) with one extra benefit such as electric, which I also like the idea of no emissions, it’s something that can tip me to a truck. Essentially, if I where to get a truck, I see no reason not to go electric for my situation so I will consider this route provided I can wait that long.

I'm no ford fan but this is much more appealing than the cybertruck.

That being said the cyber truck isn't necessarily dead. There are some SERIOUS Fanbois around. Just see this thread.
100% agree, I'm no Ford fan but if GM doesn't catch up I may have to try-out a Ford.

But I won't be trading-in my fossil fuel burners any time soon.

Just it being Ford, I'm definitely not buying a first gen ****ing anything.

I'll let someone else beta test.

I'm about through waiting for this. Maybe I'll pull the trigger on the Rivian. It's just that Tesla has such great super charging infrastructure and it would be a super miserable experience to travel long distances with any other electric vehicle currently on the market.

I hope they catch on, but I think they might have a higher hill to climb with truck buyers, similar to how a lot of people scoff at the electric mustang.
Elon has said he wants the CT to be the equivalent of a big rig in terms of durability...meaning, a million mile life. The thing is over-engineered to the nth degree. It truly is a situation where form follows function.

The trucks don’t stop long enough to charge at the farm, if they had a charger on the way that would put 35 miles on in 10 mins our average length of gas stop that would be nice





Also it needs to be able to tow about 4000 lbs more for it to make it past the first requirement I have for it



What farms are notorious for shady electric work? How do you know I do what I please?
You can definitely already get 35 miles in 10 minutes at a supercharger, but you probably won't be installing one of those on the farm.

I feel attacked! Jk. Seriously though, if you're in just about any form of construction, you should be an early adopter. Especially if you're a decent sized company with lots of trucks. I work construction and there aren't many trades I work with who wouldn't immediately lower their operating costs going electric.

Ironically, around here, the only trade who might not be able to is solar installers. Their area of operation is so large, unless they have supercharger access an hour or on every highway out of town they would have some close calls and maybe some strandings.

Not many contractors drive 2 hrs each way in a day other than them.

In more rural areas, you undoubtedly have a lot more working trucks. But even in a small town I have a feeling that half of the trucks are purchased as a style choice rather than a need.
Probably half are pavement princesses

Batteries. It'll be pretty cheap and easy. Installs are quick and savings are large and immediate.

I've never seen so much misinformation in one post.

1. Gasoline is inefficient. Best case is 28% efficient in the average car and it only goes down from there. Most every is lost to heat. So kWh/kWh, electric requires 1/4 - 1/3 less energy. Even the dirtiest coal plant is still cleaner, you underestimate his dirty fossil fuels and their supply chains are

2. Batteries are absolutely recyclable as metals are nearly infinitely recyclable. The average Tesla battery is worth about $1000 to a recycler at end-of-life. Redwood Materials created by Tesla longtime #2 JB Straubel already recycled batteries and turns the minerals into battery ready products which they sell to actual customers.

Stop repeating lies you've heard for the last 20 yrs.
