All 4 people were still alive and conscious upon rescue. It’s almost entirely possible the authorities simply asked what caused the wreck.

You never mentioned towing. you only mentioned long haul driving. I guess youre one of the 1% of ppl who actually tows 5 tons+ or youre just full of it. Why not both!?

I mean, its pretty clear that all these early BEV pickup trucks are really nothing more than fashion/status symbols. I am all in for PHEV and BEV but I cannot fathom using any of the BEV pickup trucks currently on the market a replacement for my current work truck.

Why didnt you just buy a minivan?

One thing I HATE about crew cabs is that the second-row seating is semi-permanent and have to be physically removed for cargo purposes

Don’t worry, you won’t be doing any long drives in this electric truck anyway... But the kids can sleep during the long recharging stops.

This is what vans/minivans were supposed to be for, not full size pickups. Remember when trucks weren’t supposed to be “living rooms on wheels” and they were used for work?

Depends on what kind of compromises they’re comfortable with. The first to the game is almost never the best. It’s hard to say how current owners feel about their purchase, since most owners probably just want the pickup package but don’t really do pickup truck things.

Lol, it needs to watch out for:
South Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and all Canadian Plates.

Agreed.

Well, that’s an easy one, just program it to be abundantly cautious around:
1. People who drive with one headlight out.
2. People who drive with damage to their rear bumper.
3. Nissan Rogues.
4. People who drive with their brights on all the time.
5. People who put their hazards on in the rain.
6. People with a cigarette…

Well, let’s start with this, the Zeekr has a 140kWh pack, L2 charging tops out at 19.2kW (although the standard could always change in the future).

Hmmm,

I’m curious how long this trend of making quirky “concept” EVs will last.

At what point does maximum range not matter?

Mental health is a major problem in America.

Which is ironic because the ID.series is known for having a disturbing reliance on on-screen buttons and menus. It’s well-established the other ID vehicles are frustrating to drive because of the lack of physical buttons and what few buttons it has aren’t even backlit at night.

So, I’m in Florida. I live in a pretty wealthy neighborhood, although mostly because I bought in early. Some of the homes are going for 7 figures, so it’s not a poor area at all. But here’s the thing, my experience from gas stations and convenience stores:

The corner gas station will be fine for a little while, but mostly bigger full-service places, like WAWA and Pilot. Both of which already have a lot of EV chargers and major retail/eatery experiences.

I think expectations *did* change the game for EVs, but now the game is slowly shifting back to where it was.
