The average US citizen drives 37 miles per day. A vehicle like this would satisfy the needs of the majority of the populace for the majority of their activities. With lower prices renting specialty vehicles for road trips or whatever makes a hell of a lot more sense.
- constantcrying 2y agoSeems delusional. What would the majority of the population need a pickup for? The SUV is in all likelihood quite uncomfortable, as it has to fit into the surrounding pickup.

- constantcrying 2y ago>A small affordable truck works great as a commuter Not if it has two seats and you want to carry more than two people. >picking up supplies from a hardware store for home improvement. I don't remember where I heard it. But it was something like "most people buy cars for reasons least likely to happen". If you aren't using your bed daily you bought the wrong car. Buy a trailer if you need to go to a hardware store once a month.
- sightbroke 2y ago> Not if it has two seats and you want to carry more than two people. Then you don't want a small truck. > If you aren't using your bed daily you bought the wrong car. Plenty of cars have a second row of seats that are not used daily too. I guess they bought the wrong car as well. Plus not a lot of cars have trailer hitches...
- constantcrying 2y ago>Then you don't want a small truck. Yes, that was my point. >Plenty of cars have a second row of seats that are not used daily too. I guess they bought the wrong car as well. Cars with only two seats are in almost all cases more expensive. To buy a pickup you pay extra, to get 4 seats you don't.
- sightbroke 2y agoJust answering your initial question. What you personally need I have no idea nor was my reply pertaining to that.
- constantcrying 2y agoA tiny minority of Americans are so often at a home supply store that choosing a pickup over a trailer would make any sense. Gain, people do not buy cars they need. They specifically buy cars for situations they will never find themselves in.
- sightbroke 2y ago> A tiny minority of Americans are so often at a home supply store that choosing a pickup over a trailer would make any sense. Your scenario here makes even less sense because most cars do not come with a trailer hitch (trucks on other hand...), you're buying another thing (which lowers that this is supposed to be an "affordable" EV), you have to renew registration for the trailer, and have a place on top of your vehicle to store it. A truck bed is nice to have sometimes. You can quickly throw things in it (like plywood, a new large flat screen, bicycles, fishing gear, a dead deer, etc). You don't have to hookup a trailer or fiddle with wiggling things between doors and so forth.
- constantcrying 2y agoAgain, people buy cars for the reasons least likely to happen.
- Ancalagon 2y agoDo they also all have installed and available Level 2 chargers to recharge every other night? I say this as an EV owner btw
