    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    The initial application is to have the trucks run between "hubs" just off the interstates. Then human drivers do the "last mile" delivery transport to distribution centers, manufacturing plants, etc. I don't remember if they will use human drivers to uncouple/couple trailers or do reversing...

    It's the opposite. When you don't have to manage menial tasks, you can spend that extra horsepower on thinking about more abstract, complex and important things. Do you really use accessible doors everywhere? I'm too impatient.

    Acreage tips from the Fanatics

    Acreage tips from the Fanatics

    Our place always got a big drift between the house and barn, right in front of the machinery door. We could get the cars out easy enough, but sometimes it was a struggle to get the garden tractor (54" blade) out the door. Also need to consider being able to plow around the mailbox so mail can...

    But having a single, standardized HW build also has benefits that save money elsewhere. One single wiring harness design. One single assembly procedure. It costs money to provide options, which is why most passenger car companies do packages rather than individual options. I work in the heavy...

    But the city-driving IT workers comprise like 90% of truck buyers. Not Cybertrucks, but all trucks. You're more likely to see a 4 door truck hauling nothing more than the driver than you are hauling anything that REQUIRES a truck. #minivanlife
