    I've been following Edison Motors. EV and Hybrid both make sense and can work depending on the application. They managed some real work tests towing log trailers without the genset kicking on.

    Personally, I would have a model line with the option to either have an all EV or hybrid drivetrain. Share parts from the battery to the wheel, but more batteries where the engine/generator would go if it's the pure EV option.

    The Ford Maverick hybrid looks quite excellent

      Apparently Elon hates it when you call them swasticars, so definitely do not do that.

      I'm not sure why, but every time I see one I think of a giant tick that has guzzled way too much blood and is about to explode.

          If you actually value low end torque over everything else, electric is a gimme.

          Sounds like that's not your use case.

          Electic motors are unmatched for torque and response time. No debate there but if you need to tow a big ass camper your range is going to suck if you dont have some hybrid config.

            Also have anyone who understands basic car design point out why shit like door opening buttons are a terrible idea in emergencies. Or why requiring thr doors to lock during a software update is stupid. Or why putting electronics not designed for extreme heat is terrible. Or that trying to use cameras in bad weather isn't any better than human eyes....

              The average use case for the majority of truck owners in the US does not involve towing. Light trucks are driven an average of around 30 miles per day, which is why I say for most people they're actually in a pretty good position, other than being pretty expensive vehicles of course. If you own a caravan or something and are doing regular massive road trips, you are the minority that these vehicles still don't cater to.

              Most people dont need more than a ford maverick which isnt even a truck but as a hybrid vehicle is pretty good value even jf the longetivity is yet to be determined.

                  I guess if Hitler was allowed to design a car, Musk didn't want to be left behind.

                      Who would have thought the preorders all dried up when they advertised it at $39,900 but launched it at $60,990.

                        A couple weeks ago I drove past a Tesla dealership in Northern California. They must have had a dozen of these dumpsters lined up out front.

                              I'm sure people pointed out all of those things and were overruled by the Nazi manchild in charge.

                                  As others pointed out, the reason it did well were the 10s of thousands of preorders from years ago.

                                  “Preorders” were a fully refundable $100. The overwhelming majority of preorders canceled.

                                        It’s a solid real world filter.

                                        This is definitely more acceptable than “no social media” being a red flag. Got that one before lol
