Your argument for having a massively oversized EV is that people won't actually use it for what it's supposedly intended for?
What's weird is trying to market something to someone spending $60k+ on a vehicle by saying you won't really use it for its intended purposes (which it can't do well) anyway so shutup and buy it.
"Buy this lesser truck that's more expensive than its ICE version."
But, I want to spend MY hard earned money on a vehicle that can do actual truck things.
"NO, you do not need an actual truck so spend $90k on this EV truck that can't go very far while towing."
Wouldn't it be better to just buy a car if I don't actually need a truck?
"No, buy this overpriced EV truck."
Solid marketing strategy. The ONLY thing ev's have an advantage at right now is the idea that they're better for the environment. By almost every other measure they're a worse product. Until they fix the issues with range they're not competing with cheaper, better ICE vehicles.
