Deosn't anyone here read the papers? Or the Automotive Press?
A Class 8 Electric truck has been produced that will haul 80,000 lbs for 300 miles before recharge. ( It is still in development and not for sale right now)
The pickup and your TT is small change to this.
The naysayers and nabobs of negativity to say nothing of the Luddites among us hold us back and and continue to not understand the technology they are facing in the near future.
And my understanding from visiting a Tesla dealership if you recharge at their stations (which are proprietary) it's free...
"has been produced" Show me one for sale, or being driven, please.
"It's still in development" ok, you just contradicted yourself, you must be referring to the Tesla truck that's not even available - because that's the only one that currently claims 80,000 towing and a 300 mile range.
Also, they aren't doing the free supercharging for life anymore.

LOL at your "nabobs of negativity". It's reality. When it's available, great. When/if they make an electric pickup truck, fantastic. Until then, they are "in development". I know they have prototypes, that's not the discussion.
I chuckled at your "the Luddites among us hold us back and and continue to not understand the technology they are facing in the near future." Everything costs money. Market demand needs to happen. I'll be thrilled when I can buy my promised Model 3 at a $35,000 point as Elon Musk originally stated. That should happen after all the tax credits go away...if we're lucky.
