The whole EV/CLEAN POWER is a joke of a concept. If the general public really knew what it takes to make those battery's ......equipment to mine the ore, transport of ore to make the battery, then ship the battery to the car builder, then ship car to final destination in X country, I'm sure they wouldn't think it is as environmentally clean.
Not to mention a Prius is more environmentally damaging to make than a Land Rover.
When a Prius is driven hard, it gets worse gas milage than a BMW M3.

Holy mackerel, that is a gorgeous truck! I can’t imagine what something like that would cost. $150k?20 years ago I went on a run with my neighbor who owned a small fleet of Freightliners and Petes. I was between jobs at the time, so it seemed like a great time to experience something that I’d never done before and would likely never be able to do again. We hauled an Airgas cylinder trailer from Houston to Los Angeles. His trucks were condos but not near as cool as this one. They were ex-Werner trucks, so they were the same light blue as 50% of the other trucks on the road. Car-wise, I guess they would be like a beige or silver Camry.
You can get a 15-17 for about 35k
Tell you what ask any old heads truck driver on the board ain't nothing like strapping on a 500hp truck and just flat running.
And seeing the country with power and comfort.
The general public doesn’t give a shit about being green. It’s all about cost, convenience, and luxury. Balance will vary per average person.

Amen. And they don't give a shit about where things are made. We're in such deep shit right now because we don't make anything here anymore. Chip shortage would never have happened if we made most of our stuff here.
As long as it's cheap, that's what people care about.
That idiot couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were on the bottom !
Thanks

Those Rivians look good though! Not sure on the real range if you went to pull something. Not to mention what happens when the weather turns cold like this!
I’m not sold on the idea of an EV truck. However, if I had to buy one, I’d go with the Ford Lightning for no other reason than it looks like a regular truck. The Rivian would be second, and the Tesla Cyber Truck would be dead last only because of the polarizing design. That is one ugly truck.
