- Tesla is expected to release the EV pickup later this year, but it’s been delayed several times.
even the gas versions, the Dodge ProMaster, Ford Transits and Nissan NV’s outperform. their fuel efficient, they have lower-to-the-ground beds allowing less lifting to get stuff in the bed size is larger- and lockable. and they cost less than their pick up counter parts
hell, I know a guy that delver’s pallets of printed…things… in a prius, and would sniff at a pickup.
The thing that would make it work for me is free charging at work, which would also be one of the customers whose junk I’d be disposing. $0 fuel costs.
But the cost of the truck is just too much
If you could get through a day without needing to use a fast charger, it might still work. Overnight charging on a slow level 2 is cheap. Needing to do a 20 minute top-up at a fast charger gets expensive in a hurry.
Yeah it’s got a 300+ mile range, which is more than enough for me, even hauling. I don’t commute super long distances.
