Kind of like the old Ford Ranger / Mazda B3000 and the Subaru BRZ / Toyota GR86.
What's the big deal about someone who likes alternative energy? Why do people care about EV's so much when they have ZERO effect on them? Most people have not even tried them before criticizing them and banishing them the deepest depths of hello.
My GT500 would only get about 170 miles of range on a full tank. I never, in over 20k miles, drove it from full to empty on any day.
I best most people cant recall a day they pulled out of their garage with a full tank and had to fill it up before returning.
EV drivers are car people too. Try one before being so critical.
Here's a think piece from the wonderful based brains at the Federalist Society on how EVs cause more pollution than ICE cars (spoiler: it is because of their tires.)
It's from the Wall Street Journal so that is how you know it is credible and factual, right?
So for those remaining folks yes they'd be reliant on public chargers- But that's, even today, maybe 20% of the US population.... (nearly 2/3rds already live in single family detached homes, add those living in duplexes and apartments with garages and driveways, apt. complex/garage chargers, mobile homes with driveways and carports-- and something like 4 out of every 5 people live someplace they can charge at home in the US).
By the time EV market share is approaching the levels they're running out of buyers in that first 80% there'll be plenty of solutions for the remaining 20%.
This would also help reduce the need to have chargers in parking lots of apartment complexes
Most folks aren't driving more than 400-500 miles in a single day. A single 15ish minute supercharger stop in a Tesla (or one of the new fast charging EVs from a few other brands- NOT the one in this deal) gets you there... on a 500 mile trip you'd probably stop that long at least once in a gas car too for drinks, fuel, using restroom, etc.
So no lost time there at all. If you're in the deep minority who wants to drive like 600+ miles in a day a second 15 minute stop gets you there just fine in an EV (or ~700+ if one of your two stops is say the length of a sit down meal which you'd probably want on a 700+ mile single day drive)
Meanwhile the OTHER 99% of the year you waste at least 5-10 minutes each time you have to stop at a gas station, likely 1-2 times a week.... (the actual pumping might be 2 minutes, but everyone ignores the time to pull out of traffic into the station, pay/deal with nozzle and cap on both ends, then get back out into traffic and back to speed).... every week... While the EV owner just parks at home, plugs in, and wakes up to a "full tank" every morning.
In other words, over any given year, the EV owner "wastes" far less time fueling their vehicle than a gas car owner does.
Riiiight.

That tire nonsense has been debunked already....kinda sad they haven't pulled the story down by now.... (notice the NYT link is clearly labeled an "opinion" not an actual news story--- and it's an opinion based on the original source not knowing how to do math as the link below clarifies)

This doesnt seem like a good deal to me.
If almost all your driving is within 200 mi of your house it is honestly Amazing.
the AWD is amazing. It drives super well in all weather conditions. Saves me a ton of time and money having a level 2 charger at my house. Plenty of room. Can fit 8ft pipes and lumber for home projects. My insurance when up only like 20 bucks when my other car worth like 3 grand.
We are currently seeing the tip of the iceberg on upcoming massive price drops across the board, both for EVs and internal combustion cars and trucks. Demand for all has dropped to historic lows because of greedy pricing by manufacturers/dealers combined with high interest rates, tightened lending standards, and upside down trade-ins. Lots are overflowing nationwide, with even some new 2022 models still unsold. When the tipping point is reached in the next 6 months or so, 5 figure discounts off sticker will become the norm as dealers scramble to offload inventory in a buyer's market. Many dealers are facing bankruptcy as we speak unless drastic measures are taken to move cars that are costing them huge amounts in floorplan interest costs. It's time for them to pay the piper for the easy money they made during the pandemic.
Oh and I forgot to mention the underhanded, dishonest tactics and ridiculous add-ons from dealers. All of this combined has made the average car buyer detest the current "dealership experience". I'd love to go buy a new truck, but currently there is no way I'd set foot on a dealership lot with all of the above in mind. They can keep their $80,000 trucks; I'm not interested.
