Little pickups really shine when you say "hold my beer" and then make them do something that people in a higher tax bracket would use a bigger truck for. It's socially unacceptable for the kind of people who Teslas are typically owned by to be doing those kinds of things (don't get me started) a UTE like this is a perfectly fine replacement for the small pickup that most them would consider buying.
Yes, a Ranger EV is going to run circles around this from an "ability to do truck things" perspective but if the you're just doing homeowner things with it then the difference really doesn't matter.
Edit: Why the downvotes?
- natch 7y agoWhy the downvotes, you ask. >the kind of people who Teslas are typically... Well that is pretty broad especially considering the TCO for an entry level Tesla now is below that of a Honda Accord over five years. Many kinds of people are buying them now.
- dsfyu404ed 7y agoThere's a reason that basically every auto review comparing a Tesla to something is comparing it to a German "driving machine" in the same price bracket. They're not idiots, they do market research, they know what models people are comparing to each other. Is HN really to immature to handle the fact that the Tesla demographic is substantially more upscale than the entire new car buying demographic (which itself is leaps and bounds ahead of the overall car-buying public)? Edit: Don't answer that question.
