With the rise of electric cars, it was only a matter of time before electric trucks hit the market. Several electric vehicle startups — including Bollinger, Lordstown Motors, Rivian and Workhorse — have been working on developing electric pickup trucks for several years, but none have come to market yet. However, it was the announcement of the Cybertruck by Tesla that ignited interest in the market. Tesla received more than 200,000 reservations, at $100 each, in the first few weeks after announcing the Cybertruck.
Its another pipe dream. First I refuse to get in debt to buy a electric car, not built to last, its really 100 year old technology being sold as greatest thing since sliced bread. Give me a kit to covert my existing 2005 ford to electric with a good price and I will do it. And via this method its real green thinking, not another banker heist
So, to summarize: All vehicles sacrifice range and performance when towing. Electric vehicles are no exception. So, because they are like all other vehicles, they will surely fail. Lower your expectations and run away!
