After seeing the debut of the tesla truck, and its shatter proof windows, and ability to carry 300,000 lbs of cargo, and 500 miles on a charge----who wouldn't want to lay down 80 thou for a really good trapping truck.

It actually carries 3500 pounds, which is still respectable. "The most expensive version of the truck, the Tri Motor All-Wheel-Drive, will be able to carry 3,500 pounds, tow up to 14,000 pounds and go from zero to 60 in 2.9 seconds. It will also be able to drive up to 500 miles on a full charge. Base models will have a range of 250 miles." https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/22/cars/tesla-cybertruck-electric-pickup-truck/index.htmlI would like to have one, but can't afford it. I have a friend who bought a Tesla car last Summer. He has electric producing solar panels. It would not surprise me if he bought one. Keith

You can eat that 3500 up real quick putting a body/cargo compartment on it.

Can't be any worse than the crappy Ford F 150's, may as well be trapping out of a car. I like our town and country mini van!

One thing that none of these electric vehicle advocate's mention is what happens to the range as soon as you turn the heater on. I suppose if you live on the west coast for the southern part of the US one of these trucks might be good for hauling around tofu or something similar.
