If it's got a bed, it's a truck.
It's a 4.5 foot bed. That's not a bed--it's an end-table.
If it has more space inside than outside, it's not a truck--it's an SUV with a back porch.

the feeble excuse from EV vendors that it causes interference is absolutely bullshit: we figured out how to solve that problem a long time ago.
Uh, as I understand it, it isn't that AM radio interferes with the car. It's that the car interferes with AM radio. It can be solved, certainly, but am I willing to pay for extra shielding in my EV so that it doesn't interfere with my ability to listen to AM radio?

I'm surprised EREVs are not used in heavy duty pickup trucks, where you need the insane amount of torque at low speed.
Well, Dodge is coming out with one.

The reality is that they are changing the F-150 lightning to a Extended Range Electric Vehicle(EREV). An EREV is a hybrid electric. It is an electric vehicle that uses an engine to run a generator when the battery gets too low.
I thought that was a "serial hybrid." The fact that they keep the "Electric Vehicle" in the name tells me that maybe all this "EVs Bad!" talk is just that.

The wheel is in the back, not the front. So it's more like an enclosed Can-Am Spyder.

Even if there are cameras in the vehicle, someone is eventually going to vandalize it somehow.
The only reason that doesn't happen now is because someone is in the front seat?
