Stupid price for a stupid truck.

We don’t need to replace our oversized ICE vehicles. We can still have massive trucks for BIG jobs. Most of our needs are no where near the F150 Lightening’s capabilities.

Readjust our needs and goals of EV utility vehicles with sensibility and affordability in mind.

I would love a EV copy of a 90’s Tacoma or Ranger. That I would buy.

Yeah, I think EV trucks are just stuck being laughably expensive for the foreseeable future. The Silverado looks to be coming in similarly priced. I hope this leads to smaller, safer trucks on the road, but I suspect it'll just mean EV trucks end up toys for wealthy people and work trucks stay gasoline-powered.
