In the end (as it was in the beginning) electric trucks will show their worth but only in the applications they are designed for, the first commercial trucks were electric but cheap petroleum made them obsolete then GM came out with the EV1 back in 96' (who killed the electric car, a great show to catch) and after finding out they were a great success took them out of the customer's hands and scrapped them,,, oh well let's hear it for GM! I have a neighbor who he and his son's operate a small trucking outfit and he's all good-to-go when tesla puts out their new electric truck! We as snowbirds travel from Ontario to Florida and back every year and if I could get a 400 mile day in with an electric truck I'd be happy with that, as I understand it the average North American only drives 25+ miles per day so when you get down to it they are perfect for the application they are meant for and the fact that we're really doing something for our environment and for our grand kids' future is the icing on the cake! I applaud guys like Elon Musk and other's for bringing this to fruition and I'm looking forward to seeing these electric vehicles on the road and perhaps even driving one myself!

I learned today that you cannot change an ugly
thing by hiding it. But I'm still not going to
shave my beard off.
