True, but the reason Tesla has been successful is that they have been able to tap into the EV movement vs just selling an EV. I think that’s why most of the “normal” EV vehicles have been a flop, they don’t appeal to the pretentious manbearpig EV buyer and they don’t appeal to the average car buyer, leaving them in limbo. Tesla is synonymous with the EV, but is the F150?

This thing is an epic fail for my critical truck mission - about 600 miles across rural KS and MO to Lake of the Ozarks hauling our boating gear. Not an EV charging station in sight. Normally this is where I say that an EV makes more sense in an urban area - but does an F150 really make much sense in LA, Chicago, or Boston? To me this thing is built to suit the current political climate, no shock that Biden was driving it around. Again I say good luck selling them!
