(334 posts)60. if you don't buy new trucks
... is it fair to apply your experience of buying old trucks to people who are in the market for a new truck? Especially, since your point of view rests heavily on your value. A new e truck versus an old truck you buy at $1500 is not apples to apples if you focus on cost alone.
If you WERE in the market for a new truck, which you are not and have not been in your truck-owning history, how might buying a NEW electric truck be more/less compellig than buying a NEW gasoline truck?

After the reveal, I think the point is moot. This is not a vehicle for contractors.

Likely so. They just introduced the Mustang Mach-E and partnered with Rivian on the platform

Probably delving into stereotypes here, but doesn't everything an EV has to offer

Yeah, but won't being environmentally aware get them kicked out of every Republican summer
