Looking at the interior its designed specifically for NBA players. I'm sure it will also be priced for NBA players.

If you look at any industry, with new technology they make the expensive, high margin items first. Then gradually start making consumer grade models.

But arent trucks these days like pushing 100Ks anyways? At least here in my area, i keep seeing these premium trucks

@@joeyandres Right now in the parking lot where I am working today in Vancouver, Canada, I am see THREE GMC Sierra Denali 1500's, a Ford 150 Limited and Platinum, lots of RAM Longhorns and Bighorns and lots of Tesla Model 3's and Model Y's ALL of the pretty much brand new 2020 and later!

Don't worry, you won't be able to afford a replacement battery for it. EVs aren't meant to be driven by common people

The point of a truck bed used to be that you could fit more people in the truck bed. It’s actually legal in most places in a America to ride in the truck bed

Yup I've noticed this too. You know why? They're almost all unibody and without a separate fully-boxed frame like let's say the Lightning has, the only way they can reinforce the rear box structure that has no roof is to substantially beef-up the bed sides in thickness. The cab is able to be larger because it has a roof structure to provide strength and obviously they push it even more, because the market for a $100K plus truck is probably not someone who is gonna be using the bed all that much.

Yeah there useless 😒 trucks🛻

I think he said this bed is longer than a traditional crew cab short bed ?

Most people don't use them for work or taking them in the dirt. They are for running down to the starbucks. Crazy the bed is narrower than the Maverick.

I've been waiting to see how long a Tesla will go before having to replace the battery, and how much it will cost. So far batteries that need to be replaced I've seen go from 13-20k not including labor. We take long road trips. I can't see getting an EV that forces the driver/owner to find or planned syops at charging stations. I'm not completely sold yet.

@Lane M there are plenty of ICE trucks in the 6 figure range, Section 179 in the USA is one of the contributing factors!

Agreed, I’m always concerned about FCA (now stellantis) execution. Their design is fantastic but QC and Fit and Finish concern me most.

FCA is known to produce more concepts than any other, although I’m sure it will lack many of these features.

Notice how it's very Cybertruck without looking stupid.

that's true since it's just the concept, the Hyundai Santa Cruz is not really a comparison for a real pickup but I remember seeing the concept of it and now my dad and brother each own one, and look great just way toned down

not bad for a $180 grand truck

What's the problem? The pricing will stabilize once proper efficient manufacturing and supply chain is up and running like any other new tech introduced to the consumer market.

Well stop being poor bud. $100k really isn’t alot.

@@Fin.mint.

Covered by 8yr 100k mile minimum on the pack's and most evs cover the powertrains for that long from the factory. Average truck sold in the U.S. in 2021 was over 61k. 🤔

EVs have been out too long for you to not know that maintenance costs are lower than comparable ICE vehicles. The vehicles are mechanically far simpler. It has been over a decade, the data is clear.

Yeah it's weird how the EV powertrain has way fewer moving parts, thereby improving repairability, but then auto makers are adding all this tech elsewhere that is likely to destroy repairability. Perhaps they are trying to make sure dealerships still have a steady stream of customers for their service centers ...

That’s something that none of these manufacturers making these vehicles or the jackasses in Washington mandating them have considered. If we all switched to EVS like the climate nuts wanted, there’d be massive blackouts. Our grid and infrastructure is not set up for this. I like EVs as a concept. I’d love to get off oil and tell countries like Saudia Arabia, Venezuela etc to pound sand. But like everything the government touches, they’re screwing it up.

Is a Ridgeline a truck...? 🤔

I agree, but I also think it's a truck that will work for 90% of the truck owners out there for their 90% use cases. In the US, for more than a decade now, a truck has been "A Car With a Pickup Bed" - and we've seen that with the upper trims getting luxury features and NVH treatments that really rival older S-class Mercedes luxury and NVH. There will be a lot of keyboard warriors on RAM forums complaining that it doesn't tow 11,000 pounds 1000 miles without stopping - but the reality is that the Average American drove 14,263 miles in 2022 - or 39 miles per day - or 54 miles per weekday. Somewhere between 46% (homes with a garage) and 63% (occupied housing with a garage or carport) have access to 120v electricity at home. Even if you don't have a charger at home and just plug the thing into the wall with an adapter on a regular 120v/15a circuit from 6p-6a every day...and charge to 80% over the weekend. You start with 320 miles of range Monday Morning, and end with 196 miles of range on Friday night. For a gas truck, that's like starting with a full 25 gallon tank of gas on Monday, driving 280 miles back and forth to work, and ending the week with the needle just below "F". The analogy would be like taking it to the gas station by your house after work on Friday and only having to put *3.25 gallons in it* to bring it back to full. Not only is there not a gas TRUCK that can do that, there isn't a gas CAR that can do that. (80 MPG, City) If you're one of the 10% who routinely carries a shitton of weight or tows your 40' VOLTAGE toy hauler 5th wheel out to Glamis or Pismo Dunes or Ocotillo Wells SVRA or whatever every weekend - yeah, definitely get the Diesel RAM 3500 Dually for that until the *2034* RAM can fully replace it. Right tool for the job and all that. But for MOST people, the electric one will be just fine. :D

GVWR will never compete with diesel or gas. Like mathematically, it can't. Not until they develop some kind of super battery that can approach the caloric value of petrol, which will, of course, be incredibly dangerous because a device that stores that much energy is essentially a bomb.

@@JonathonBarton "The right tool for the job". I agree totally. My dad drives between 5200-6000 miles a year with his f150, uses it for truck stuff occasionally and burns through 1/4 of a tank a week. For him an electric truck makes sense given his use of it. I on the other hand have a lawn care business and move around a trailer all day. I tow more that what my truck is rated for only because I got an old truck with a v6 in it lol. But if I had a diesel, I'd be towing 6 or more tons of gravel, mulch, dirt, whatever. I tow now like 2 tons and put 200 or more miles a day. Electric doesn't make sense for me. My concerns are the battery life and cost of maintenance. I personally know several tesla owners with less than 40k miles and the batteries won't charge past %80. Plus I know a bunch of mechanics who won't touch an electric vehicle for various reasons. That means that the few who do work on them can charge a lot for their work right now.
