    I fucking would if I could buy a 2 door truck. But no, the only electric pickup options are 4 door, maximum size cabs with practically no bed.

    I only want a truck for the bed. If it’s electric it can be a daily driver but I don’t need a back seat. My wife has the little SUV for that.

    But I can’t get that. So instead I’m going to buy an electric sprinter van for half the price.

      they’re also twice the price of a regular truck if you want any kind of usable range, which is the worst part. I don’t need a truck that can do a 2.9s quarter mile, I need one that I can drive 200 miles in one direction, park for a week, and then drive home, on a route with no chargers.
