[@andrewmutavi590]

For range,wait for independent testing for more realisting range estimates

[@sc00Bay]

1000km was clickbait or a lie, which lowers the reliablitiy and credibility of this channel. (also that true for the video about BEV registration are higher than gas registrations in Norway - also only partially true) 350 to 420 should be more realistic. Also it's not V2G capable, only V2L. They had shown the car at IAA Transportatin in Hannover this week. Best option of this car is the tow capacity of 3,5t and the frunk. But be aware it has only 600kg load capacity.

I'm not into trucks, but that's better looking than anything else out there in my opinion. Cybertruck is too big, and Rivian looks old fashioned. This could give Tesla a real headache, although the charging rate will need to improve.

I like to see maximum range in a truck as once you use it to tow, that number will be cut in half.

Yeah towing cuts down on fuel economy of ice to.

[@wolfman9999999]

@@mrspeigle1 Correct, and by a similar amount.

[@Snerdles]

​@@mrspeigle1The point being if you lose half of your range when you have a 600 mile range you still have enough to get further than your bladder lasts anyway. You get another 600 miles in about 8 minutes. In the EV you get half of the 300 miles it's now 150 which is only 2 hours of driving... But remember you can only fast charge from 10-80 so your actual leg of your trip is already cut by 30% so the second leg ends up being cut by 80%... Or now you go somewhere aound 90 - 105miles and as mentioned in the video that takes 40 minutes so you have to wait 40 minutes every hour and 15 minutes you drive. They are really great as a lifestyle truck... But then, so is any other cheaper gas truck that is half the price.

[@sanohajian3174]

This truck is not going to sell because it costs $70,000 which is way too high. Everything is good except the price. There are other trucks from China which you reported on last year that cost less than $20,000. Who will pay an extra $50,000 for a pickup when you can buy one for $20,000?

[@rozonoemi9374]

The reason Cybertruck don't have mid gate is for safety reason in case of emergency braking that you don't want your load to come into the cab & hurt someone.

[@azorenguiderobert]

Is the air pump motor for the air suspension well protected against dust and stones? Are the high voltage cables well protected against dust and stones.....? it looks like that some high voltage cables under the car are close to the wheels on the back and they are not protected at all! How are the Maintenance intervalls for the air pump suspension system? Will the Motor for the air suspension easily break when the air pressure system is leaky? Can the air pump motor handle a permanent operation or is the motor for the air suspension just designed for a short time operation ? because this is a major issue in many air suspension systems and the replacement costs for a new air suspension motor is high.

[@art-is-lazy4509]

As tests in the US show, towing will reduce the range by 60%, so towing 3.5t it will be like 150km range?

[@Electricdecentralisedfuture]

You almost get your videos done right, but instead of kw to describe the motors power you have km as in Kilometers. Watch your videos back once man before posting and you'll eradicate these little mistakes. Regardless thanks for the info

Clickbait.

[@claudiovaldebenitor]

i dont think this is the way to go, i think the byd shark makes more sense because you dont depend of the charging station around you, it has a built in combustion generator to charge the batteries.

[@neilstewart5060]

Saying "EV has range of 650km/400 miles, I don't think you need more than that" is mistaken unless you are only travellingin metro regions. If you are towing you will get considerably less and you have to get it SLOW charged somewhere - not going to happen out in the sticks. At least with a hybrid you can simply refill and recharge when more convenient.

Nice, but get rid of the over size, over shinny chrome MAXUS on the front. The bush will take care of that quickly.😮

[@adriansovcik7109]

If it will be for a good price and good quality I will definitely forgive all those minuses like 40 mins instead of 20 of fast charging ... T90 EV would be an ideal now with those prices however the build quality makes them questionable ... even if one is willing to fight with those mishaps that one needs to persuade his wife in addition ;-)

[@sseel2877]

The best system electric pickup I have seen to date is the one in the BYD, unfortunately it is Chinese. Electric with gas charging back up is ideal for a pickup. I'm not sure why they are the only company to use this system, GM had that in the Volt 15 years ago. Electric only pickups are useless for towing.

for any farm use the standard big white poly grain / fertilizer bag is one ton. If it cant carry a standard ton, its utterly useless. Failed before they play the ads.

You could say the same for most new electric vehicle startups - how many make am profit from selling cars? Tesla makes a profit but it’s hard to break down how - selling credits tended to be the big centre while I’ve never quite got to grips with the GP a per units sold. Tesla has broader profit builders such as storage - pure EV companies seem to struggle.

[@Robert-u7c8h]

Never will because China controls the raw materials that goes into the batteries. So the US is never going to build electric vehicles enlarged amounts unless we get a new type of battery where the United States has control over the materials.

Yeah in simulation probably. If this was real world 1000 km it would be all over the news, but it’s not. So therefore a pipe dream that won’t happen. And on another note, when the financial system crashes and people have to choose between putting food on the table and buying an overpriced iPhone on wheels that has to be plugged in and costs more money, guess which one they will choose? Do you really think people who are struggling now are even remotely interested in an EV? I’m not. $1000 a month for a depreciating paperweight that has to be plugged in is one of the most retarded ideas ever. That $1000 is the difference between keeping the roof over our head versus being on the street. The best vehicle to own is the one that is paid off and will last with regular maintenance. No EV will replace that since everyone in this world is so focused on the newest and greatest thing they are willing to keep themselves in financial debt by trading in their EV every couple of years just like a cellphone.
