Love the point of view at the end. I think people need to embrace all things to allow technology to advance and with time we will have more capable EVs. I drive a Jeep truck daily and haul a small camper for trips. When I get a new truck In the next couple years I think the cyber truck is pretty awesome but wonder would it work for my real life situation? I have a suggestion: Both trucks towing something like a 3-5000k lb camper (same weight for both trucks) and average camping gear in the bed for payload. Have both trucks doing the same 500-1000 mile road trip emulating real world travel/camping with both making the same planned overnight stops. Driving the actual speed limit (not racing to the destinations). Just driving like you would on a regular trip while towing. Then break down all the math. The fuel truck: how many stops to fill up with total mileage/ fuel cost and time spent filling up. Ease to fill up. The Cyber truck: how many stops for charging, time spent, cost to charge and ease to find charging station… for a real life typical road trip (I wonder would charging in between destinations be easy or cause a lot of anxiety?) That way we can see fuel vs electric for a realistic travel towing situation. I am curious how they will compare in a typical truck use situation with some longer range travel and not just being loaded to the max and going fast. I also would love to see the features of both trucks while camping. Maybe there will be many pros and cons to both trucks! 🧐

[@FranKyG70]

@@jamescreekmore3855 Depends, the supposed "dangers" of towing an EV is simply over charging it if you tow them long enough on a full battery. But that only really applies to very old EV's (or very very cheap ones) as most modern EV's just open the circuit when the battery is full or near full. Which basically means the motors turn freely without resistance and without generating power. It's also the reason why you lose regenerative braking when on full battery. So no, it's not a bad idea, not with a Tesla. At least not more so than flat towing in general, though with EV's you also don't have to worry about damaging the drivetrain on AWD variants, like the case with most ICE cars.

Why on earth would you ever want one of these as an electrical contractor?

[@greggardner3154]

@markadler8968 My service truck is a Ram 2500 cummins with a Miranda box on it with my tools and and materials in it. It's by far the best option for me as the box with its kit can be easily swapped out on to another truck. The fuel economy isn't horrible for somting its size and weight. The 4x4 in winter is a nessassary as I don't have time to shovel out parking spots down town. I have a Sprinter as well. I'm dissipointed with it. It's really expensive for what is, basically a high roof regular 2 wheel drive delevery van. Out of the fleet the sprinters have the worst maintenance record. They are really bad in the winter as far as getting in and out of snow banks. I also have an E-Transt. It's head and shoulders over the sprinter as far as toughness and technology go. The bolt in points on the Transit are far more solid than the sprinter. The sprinters racking actually pulled the factory nuts right out of the ribs. The transit also requires virtually no maintenance. It's only MAJOR downfall is the range. In good weather you get 250kms in cold winter conditions that gets cut in half. My Ram is a Long Horne so... it costs what it costs, my truck, my toy I don't care 🤣 . A new Sprinter base model is around 70k about what I paid for the E-Transit. If I got a base model Ram it would be around what the sprinter is but 4 times the truck. The Miranda box is a one time cost so I don't count it in equation. In my experience the Sprinters were ok back in the day when they were 500$ a month as that offset the ridiculous MB maintenance costs. BTW, get rid of all of them before the warranty is up. Especially the Sprinter, they can generate horrific repair bills.

I spend more time runnig to jobs to help out my guys, doing estimates, PR with clients etc... I could comfortably get by with fewer items than I halul around now. The CT would probably almost pay for itself in fuel savings and no maintenance. I really appreciate the E Transit for that aspect. If I can get 350 to 450 kms a day out of the CT it would be an excellent option for me. I would still keep the Ram for long trips and trailer hauling. Both the Etransit and the Sprinter are not good for towing. Never even tried it with the ETransit as we all know how horrific that would be. The Sprinter is barley adequate to carry the stuff in it. Towing a trailer boom with it was no fun at all. I think it all comes down to what you need it for. If the Etransit hand a 400km range in cold weather, the Sprinter would have been gone long ago.

It's about range and recharge times...that's the issue everybody is having with the electric trucks and cars for that matter. It's probably fine around town for short hops if you can get back home in time by the evening to recharge it.

The people who don't care about range because they can charge at home....those are the millions of people EV's are perfect for. Even when counting road trips, the average american drives 39 miles per day, or 14,000 miles per year. 270ish miles of range for $6 is hard to beat. Also waking up to a pre-cooled or prewarmed and charged car every day is pretty sweet as well. For towing or long distances over 400 miles a day, don't pick an EV.
