What? Fuel mileage? If all you’re doing is short trips to the hardware store, how the hell does fuel mileage even register? Or are you talking daily driver?

Even then, the comparative cost of the damned thing, unless you’re buying Maserati’s or something matters way way way more than fuel mileage will.

My half ton (before it got ****ing destroyed) would get 18 with 1000 pounds of tools and short trips all over the farm on shit roads.

Fuel mileage is not a thing.

I mean as a daily driver for ten years. I definitely haven’t crunched any numbers but I’m going to assume 18 mpg over ten years is quite a bit more costly than an electric and more than a small suv. I’m not married to that idea though. I do like the idea of electric in general as well.

Electric as a commuter vehicle is the move, sure.

I just don’t understand why fuel mileage scared you away from a pickup until now.

I have no idea what you’re driving now but say it’s a 25 mpg 20K sedan.

The difference in purchase price is far more than fuel mileage. And that part won’t change with an electric.

I wouldn’t say fuel mileage has scared me away like it’s the deciding factor, though it is at least part of it. I’ve dabbled in looking at trucks but for me one thing that has actually been the most problematic is that if I want a full size cab (must have) I’m really sacrificing on truck bed length unless I just get something huge, which I don’t want.

So what I’ve also been thinking about is getting a suv and a trailer which requires me to find a place for the trailer. So I guess I’m not really comparing in my mind a 40k to 20k car when thinking about costs. But if I can get a truck (more convenient than suv/trailer) with one extra benefit such as electric, which I also like the idea of no emissions, it’s something that can tip me to a truck. Essentially, if I where to get a truck, I see no reason not to go electric for my situation so I will consider this route provided I can wait that long.

Yes it will. Cost to drive my Model 3 300 miles is less than $10, and that's with marked up electricity from a supercharger. Charging at home, which comes with 100% range every morning and so the gas station is even less. Maybe $9?

Even if the Cybertruck has a 200kWh battery pack, it should cost $24 for those 500+ miles.

Same. Never owned a truck due to economics and conscience of pollution. Couldn't deal with the restrictions and price if the F150 Lightning though

I'm about through waiting for this. Maybe I'll pull the trigger on the Rivian. It's just that Tesla has such great super charging infrastructure and it would be a super miserable experience to travel long distances with any other electric vehicle currently on the market.

I could be wrong but I think Tesla is going to surprise people with a different design truck they will unveil just before launch that won't look like it was recycled from Robocop

Doubtful. They'll wait for you to change your mind like most did when Dodge Rams first changed their stilling drastically.

It won't take long for men to realize a Cybertruck beats an F150 and approaches F250 in every category, drives like a Porsche, has options you've never thought of, cheaper to own and looks like a damned military vehicle.

Kind of surprised Ford isn't building those Maverick trucks with an electric option. They are pretty popular, seeing quite a few of them now, only thing that's limiting them is how fast Ford can build them. Suppose they are keeping a door open for an electric Maverick in the future, I think it would sell well.

I test drove one with every intention of buying before going in, but that thing is tiny. The back seat is basically unusable. The bed is useful for certain things, but ultimately can’t handle much in the way of differently shapes items or furniture. It would be pretty good for people without kids or maybe older people with a small boat or who still need to go to Home Depot or whatever for yard work or hobbies.

I was wanting to get the electric F-150 but it just was going to be too hard to come by and I couldn’t wait for the Chevy. I ended up with the Honda Ridgeline and it’s plenty of truck for most people I’m sure and for me is far superior to other 4X4s in its class because of the truck bed and interior space. It was interesting watching reviews comparing it to other trucks and basically it performs right along side them anyways, only real difference being not as much ground clearance. I love it so far.
