All this talk to brag they’re gonna match the “price structure” (whatever that means) of a vehicle that starts at $53,400 by 2027.

What a joke.

Yes, the price structure. One will be more expensive than the other.

They also said we'd get electric F-150s for $50k and that didn't happen either.

Hey, if they do it, I'd buy one.

I could use a smaller truck, as long as it can actually do truck things. Right now I'm driving a truck and a Nissan leaf. If I could get down to one EV for everything, that'd be nice.

Problem with a lot of the EV trucks out there is that they're truck shaped objects, and can't actually do truck things.

What EV trucks are out there? The F150 (can totally do truck things), the Silverado (can totally do truck things), the Rivian (can do some truck things), and the Cyber Truck (the less said the better). What other EV trucks are out there that can't do truck things.

My only issue with the EV truck scene right now is the issue I have with the truck scene in general. They are all too fucking big. I have a hybrid Maverick that is the perfect size for me and long term averages 40mpg. I would freaking love a full EV of it. The F150 and Silverado don't even fit in my driveway, let alone my tiny garage. They don't fit in parking spaces at work.

Leave all the spyware and touchscreen bullshit out of it, and it would probably cost half as much and last twice as long.
