It's about not letting perfect be the enemy of good. Yes, this thing is way too big and heavy for what almost all of its buyers need, but it's still a hell of a lot better than the gas version. A gas F-150 will use over 50 tones of gas. The electric version will use 30 kg of lithium, for sure, but they are both mined, and one is even recyclable.
- namdnay 4y agoI totally agree with your point (which is why I think electric cars are a good idea in general, as opposed to some who would argue that theyre a distraction from the real imperative of public transport and "short distance living"). But there's a pretty big gap between perfect and an electric truck. A towbar on a standard electric car would cover everything that these people actually need
- bluGill 4y agoThe F150 can tow 10,000 lbs trailer. Something that I tow once in a while. While an electric car might be able to move that much, it won't be safe, something not designed for the load you tow will roll over.
- DwnVoteHoneyPot 4y agoI think the point you are missing is it's a bit arrogant for you to tell people what they need. An electric truck with additional features to entice drivers to buy is how change is going to happen. Don't try to remove or restrict people. It won't work. Electric truck is one step in a correct direction of compromise.
