I’m sure the anti-woke crowd he is pandering to is going to jump in and buy up all the teslas
I think the Ford electric truck is selling like crazy to that demographic; if you really need low end torque suddenly an electric motor is tolerable.
Lmao my dad never shuts the fuck up about electric cars now he wants an electric car because Elon became a right wing god.
I don't actually think this...but imagine if Elon is just pulling a super long con on the right.
Again, he isn't..but that would be pretty cool in an alternate universe.
They've barely built about 20K of them so far. Demand outstrips supply, yes, but it's a low bar.
They're not selling here. There's a huge off-roading community here and nobody wants to risk getting stuck 300km into a logging trail.
Lol, yeah. Everyone I talk to about my car instantly becomes a weekend road tripper, like they are constantly going on thousand mile road trips to the middle of nowhere where there aren't any charging stations.
Most people own cars a long time and it's used for all their trips, around town and crossbcountry. You only have to get stuck somewhere remote once without a way to charge to have a bad time.
You could be stuck somewhere remote and run out of gas too.
Definitely, but it's much easier to get some gas and bring it back to the car. Lots of people that can help and lots of services to call on. Not impossible but much fewer options for an all-electric.
So you buy a car that's extremely excessive in 99% of use cases to cover that 1%?
What keeps you from just renting a car for that 1%? I guess that's why startups like Kyte are adopting a "car rental to your door" service...
In theory, with a stack of solar panels an EV could take you even farther into the wilderness, The Martian style.
Well people using their trucks to that extreme are always going to choose reliability over performance
Reliability, height clearances, axle to axle length, tire sizes, etc. It's not like 4x4 + ICE is automatically good at offroading.

I think the demographic may not be the correct financially. Though that might be more funny, a bunch of people buying out of spite and then defaulting.
Elon musk didn't really think about how people who buy electric cars and the anti-woke is two non-connected circles on a Venn diagram.
