  1. VERY few 'need' to tow that much but yeah there's this thing--"I might want to tow a battle tank across America." "I might want to drive 1000 miles nonstop across the Canadian tundra."

  2. Maybe, but not likely in the US, how many mini-pickups do you see for every full size?

  3. Yup. Familiarity will eliminate both extremes of the polarity. It makes every other PU look flimsy and cheesy. Hagerty parked it nose to nose with Lightening and the Ford looked ridiculous, plastic crap, to me. Still not a fan of the rear of CT aesthetically nor sharp corners, won't much matter over time tho.

  4. CT look is not efficient, not aerodynamic, it's everything else about it that's efficient. Rivian has significantly lower drag coefficient.

  5. Seems you failed to watch the vid. How does CT fall short as a truck?

  6.  @NextGenEvs  I agree THEY are over optimistic but your numbers and gripes are even more emotionally silly. If you can fit a Bobcat in a crew cab F-250 you can fit it in the CT. 100 miles? Depends on how it's outfitted but probaly closer to 250. But hey, choices are good, if you want to pay $200 for a fill up vs $25, cool beans, my organic gardens thrive on the extra CO2, someone's gotta do it. :D

  7.  @NextGenEvs  If a diesel truck has it's range cut by a factor of 3 when towing then the CT will be about the same, a little more for heating, or pick your factor. There's no reason a well designed EV truck loses much more than an ICE. When I dealt with, say 10 or 20 deg F winter mornings, it took me 20 or 30 minute just to thaw the thing out before I could safely drive it. Won't take 10 seconds in a CT as it's already done for you.

  8.  @NextGenEvs  I've never heard of that low a range for regular Y in Norway, somethings wrong with that. You really load dirt in a pickup then manually unload? Or use equipment to unload? Other than bulk items, hay, lumber, firewood....rarely see anyone operate in such inefficient fashion. Sounds like you need a dump truck not a pickup.

  9.  @gpsfinancial6988  No doubt but that's not the topic here.
