    I am really curious how these will perform when towing and hauling and what that does to the range.

    For example, a Tesla Model S can run a 10 second quarter mile when placed in Cheetah mode.

    To do that it takes a massive amount of juice and a few pulls will empty the battery.


    Whats a 5-7,000 lb trailer do to the battery range of these trucks?

    They've got enough electrical gremlins now, who the heck wants more ? maybe a "green yuppie"trying to impress their friends.....Yes, I own a Silverado but it calls the dealers shop home, hopefully one day mine. 😡

    Depends on how long the extension cord is

    Unless we get some chip manufacturing back in the US there is not going to be any truck manufacturing. I heard that Ford is shutting down two F150 plants for two weeks because they have no chips.

    Crap like that is the reason I'll always own at least one vehicle with a distributor, points, condensor and coil. With a $75 battery it will get me to where I want to get 😊

    In 15 years you will be giving away any gas vehicle, no matter how expensive. There will be no gas, but on the upside the Arabs will be drowning in their worthless oil.

    Probably more targeted to the "pansy wagon truck" crowd than to the folks who really use a pickup.

    I like to think of electric vehicles as coal powered, remit emissions vehicles. They are not zero emissions like the hype.

    From a electronics tech and electrician.

    The ones that design this sort of stuff need it stuck where the sun don't shine.

    I will keep my direct fossil fuel powered vehicles, thank you very much.


    Of course 20 years from now the next generation will not understand why we are attached to vehicles that need oil changes, spark plugs, exhaust systems, etc...

    I guess it is all about what you are used to and what you expect out of a vehicle. Bob

    Just put a couple gas powered generators in the bed to charge the battery. Sheez, do I have to think of everything?

    Fixed it for going green and tree huggers.

    I fixed it. No fossil fuels allowed, says Joe.

    Until they start putting little radioisotope thermal generators in cars, there will be no real "zero emissions" vehicles. RTGs have been powering the Voyager spacecraft now for 30+ years, and more just landed on Mars in the Perseverance vehicle. Electricity and heat for 30 years in a suitcase.
