I don’t see many people enjoying a baseline model with 200ish mile ranges. I did manual labor for a construction company as a way to make money back in high school, and it was normal for site leads to be commuting a minimum of 150 miles per day. This truck is marketed as also being a generator which would mean people will be using for work during the day. I agree that they need to do better if they want this to not flop.

This isn't for road warriors. Those people will look at the details and decide this isn't the truck for them. This is for people who want to do what they currently do with their Tacoma and Model 3, drive to work, haul a bag of mulch, bring the kids to soccer, project an image befitting their pay grade, etc, and do it with one monthly payment instead of two. It looks like it will fill that role really well. It'll take another few years before the tech gets good enough that it's actually practical for the people who are really racking up the miles.
