I'm down for the swapover, but I hope that some of these other battery technologies overtake lithium sooner rather than later, and I also hope that at least some companies start feathering back the weight of their vehicles. Lighter, smaller cars are better for the roads, easier on tires, more convenient pound for pound, easier to park, and typically less expensive to maintain. I mean, Lotus made a car frame that could be lifted by one not particularly strong person in the 80s and they're working on replicating that feat for EVs today: https://electrek.co/2021/09/21/lotus-unveils-lightweight-chassis-for-new-family-of-performance-evs/ https://electrek.co/2021/09/21/lotus-unveils-lightweight-cha... And aside from all of that, giant pickups are probably the lamest vehicle in America. I'd rather drive a minivan. Maybe in middle America they make sense, but any time I see them in the city they are rarely being used for construction or heavy moving or anything that you would actually need a truck for. They're basically mom car SUVs with a lift kit and a penis extension truck bed on the back.
