The tech does exist, and 80 grand for an overpriced fuel hog before upgrades is obviously not sticker shock enough.

I guess I missed it, who is producing an electric truck that can haul a 30,000 lb trailer 500 miles per day?

No, 80K will not buy a hybrid drive system robust enough to haul 30,000 lbs all day. If it would, then don't you think they would be making it? If company A makes a hybrid to tow 30K at 20 MPG, wouldn't that outsell the relics getting 10 MPG?

You said the tech doesn’t exist, not the product. A product is made from available tech. And why should the truck companies dig into their profits to give the public something new when the public is still happy about over paying for their old tech? It will take companies like Rivian to push the fat, dumb, and happy automakers into the 21 st century.
