Last night I was driving home from granddaughters softball games. I started thinking about looking into a Tesla.

Tesla is going to die a relatively short, ignominious death, probably in less than ten years. Due entirely on the ridiculously inefficient method Tesla is using to manufacture their vehicles. Once the Japanese/Korean car makers go full dipstick on Ecars, Tesla will be left in the weeds.
Ecars, on the other hand, are probably here to stay. Unless fuel cell tech becomes widely available in the near future. |

I don't like Tesla because they might fail or might not be profitable. I like them because they make a great quality and safe product. I don't even give a shit about helping the environment one way or another, either.

Tesla just announced a draconian cost-cutting business model. We'll see where this goes.

Can’t wait until they make a 2500/3500 full electric pickup.
The torque and braking from the electric drive will be amazing for hauling. |

Yeah, that's really the crux of the issue still. All these cars are nice, but 90% of people can't afford them. My Leaf is about as cheap as they come for EVs right now, though some of the new entrants may change that. I'm guessing the first EV trucks are gonna be insanely pricey for what they are, though trucks in general are priced crazy from my perspective.
If we can get someone to offer these things at a price normal people can afford, it's gonna spread like wildfire. Last edited by DaFace; 05-18-2019 at 07:18 PM.. |

A company called Rivian(spl?) is making an electric truck. Looks weird but has some cool tech, if they call actually make it work.

I love the looks, and wouldn't mind owning either one, but both will cost over $60K each before adding any options. |

Looks like a glorified electric Avalanche.
Fail. I need a real pickup. One that hauls shit and pulls shit, not brags about trunk space. |
