We drove back and forth between our Villages home and our home in the Berkshires 5 times in the last year. That’s a 2,750 mile round trip. When driving that far I find it annoying to have to stop for 5 minutes to fill up the gas tank. Having to find a charging station, hopefully one that is not being used, and then waiting for a charge is simply not an option. Can a Tesla handle dirt roads during mud season where my 4WD truck, with aggressive all terrain tires and generous ground clearance sometimes struggles. Can I let the tire pressure on a Tesla down to 12 PSI and drive it on the soft sandy beaches of outer Cape Cod? Can I tow my camper through the hilly terrain of northern New England while barley noticing a performance decline of the tow vehicle like I can with my truck. Oh, and can I attach a snow plow to the front of a Tesla and easily plow a foot of heavy wet snow? And exactly where in the Tesla can I transport a downed 8 point buck so I can get it to the butcher?

Electric cars aren’t for everyone
F-150 is coming but your still at about 300 miles.
And the cyber truck in a year or 3 with over a million pre orders with deposits. Cyber truck is going to have a 500 mile range
Electric cars and trucks aren’t for everyone
I’m only buying electric from now on but that’s what I like
