I created a poll about 4-5 yeas ago discussing what EV trucks would be available in 5 years. I can't find it anywhere now. Is there a glitch in matrix? Has the poll been completely removed?

Test drove a CT this morning. The steer by wire/progressive steering was the first thing I commented on. It's awesome. It locks out with less then 180 degree turn, which was more then enough to pull a uturn. The one foot driving would take a little getting used to and I'm not sure if there...

This is good news to me. It tells me they are still working towards my original, first 24 hr reservation for a 500+ mile range CT. I'll keep waiting on that $69,900 price too.

Actually, I've only had trucks. Never needed a bed mat.

Why do we need a bed mat?

No info on pricing for the range extender? This was almost as bad as the RAM event...almost.

Regardless of what damage was done, the UCA doesn't look like it would hold up well at all. I replaced the UCAs on my truck when I went to 35" tires. I would hope the CT used forged or tubular UCAs in production. Like others here, I'm surprised they even tried this.

Is 20M where we need to be today to ship 50k CTs next year?

I didn't realize that Dodge or RAM hadn't signed up yet. Apparently there is a change.org petition for them to do so. https://chng.it/sC9GWnhpKh

Keep my truck. Keep track of the RAM until its 500 mile variant is available. If RAM sucks (not enough range or too high price); keep my truck until I feel the need to upgrade to a newer ICE truck. Which would probably be a RAM. But if I go for the full size rear doors, it could be a Ford...

Not a deal breaker for me, but the rest of the competition offers it so some will want it.

I'm glad there is a solid 70% majority who still recognize 500 miles of range is what the doctor ordered.

People freak out over 5g. I can't imagine what they will think of roads emanating EMFs into their vehicles.

I don't think we know yet if the CT battery will be replaceable or upgradable given that it's part of the structure. Does anyone know anyone who has recycled their old car battery and gotten money for it? From what vehicle, what size pack, and how much did they get?

Can you elaborate on this? I didn't lose any miles from a full tank of gas from year 1 to year 10 on my current truck. The only decrease came when I put 35" tires on it. That was a few years ago and nothing has changed since. My previous F250 was the same and I kept the stock-size tires on...

Will do. When I think of 80% penetration, I'll think of @Arctic_White

Time will tell, but I don't think we can transition that fast. BEV sales were up to 5.7% in 2022 from 3.4% in 2021. I know if you run that out you'll hit 50% in 2026 or 2027, but then you'd hit 100% in 2028. No way. I think 30% by 2030 for BEV and PHEV is very realistic.

3 EVs in the next 10 years isn't the way I buy and use vehicles. I might own 3-4 more trucks in my driving life over the next 40 years. To your point of why wait; because I'm not buying the CT for any reason greater than financial sense and it barely fits that mold (for me). I'm not going to...

I really only look at what is coming when what is available isn't good enough or is barely good enough. I've always maintained the only EV truck for me is one that can get that 500+ mile range, AWD capable, and is a full-size truck. Right now there are 0 of those available for purchase today...

Yes, I have time to wait.
