Either way for me and my use, and a lot of other truck owners, electric trucks won't cut it unless the tech improves drastically. I hunt and ride dirt bikes. I am not taking an electric truck into remote areas and then 50+ miles off pavement...

Same. I might drive 1k miles in a couple days for work in the Midwest, again I like electric cars, the instantaneous torque is outstanding. But I can’t risk running a battery low and being late for a meeting because I have to charge for 30min at a gas station (if I can find a fast charging station). And yeah my truck, no way will I consider electric for that.

However I do think there’s a decent population of 1500 buyers that really don’t use a truck as a truck, and would be fine with electric.

It’s going to be interesting for sure. I just hope GM doesn’t shoot themselves in the ass by investing 100% in a tech that is unknown at this point. Tesla did well because they targeted the affluent “green” group. That market is only so large… and honestly I still think it’s a small percentage of the overall market.

Unless the government forces it, but that could change in 2024. Still think it’s a risk…
