This isn’t a mini truck, it’s a truck. It’s just that the others are giant trucks.

What's the tow capacity and range when towing? No 4WD either. It's not a truck it's a UTV.

6600 lb towing capacity

Towing range is an issue with all EVs and the battery on this one isn't that big, but if you're regularly doing long distance towing I'm not sure why you'd start with a city truck

Ah yeah with a 1700 pound payload and no tow capacity. Many UTVs are 4WD too.

6,600lb tow capacity. You can dislike a thing, but like, you should probably at least get the facts straight.

Let's see the production model pull 6600 pounds on an 80% charge. Which by the way I see no stats on this on the site. But I'd much rather see production demos before I trusted those even. Even Cybertruck struggles to tow full weight at full charge further than 90 miles.

How much you want to bet you'd be calling a real truck to tow your ass out of that situation? There's a reason electric trucks haven't taken off for real work use cases.

I think we can use truck stats from reputable automakers. > There's a reason electric trucks haven't taken off for real work use cases. When were electric trucks realistically available on the market for a reasonable price? I use a truck regularly (forestry industry), there's huge desire for them, they just haven't been around until very recently. You can't buy a secondhand ol beatup electric truck yet, so I don't expect them to be taking off yet.
