Diesel pickups are for chumps

[68Charger]

I think there is a community of people who do stuff like that, but I don't know enough about it to know the trip details. The point still stands though, and this coming from someone who drives more than almost everyone but truck drivers and door to door vacuum salesmen.

It's all in the fine print (which is grounded in physics)...

I've seen Tesla model S owners tout "170 Mi charge in 30 minutes"... AT A TESLA "SUPERCHARGER" station...up to 120 KW per vehicle, but 145 KW distributed at one station... 75 minutes for a full charge! But that's for a model S that's ONLY 4,647 to 4,941# curb weight.. (Gross vehicle weight rating: 5,732 to 5,997 lbs)... And with the lowest cd od any produ production vehicle

Need more than 5 passengers that are less than average size? The model X suv is 5,185 to 5,531 # curb weight.. (Gross vehicle weight rating: 6,581 to 6,768 lbs)... and with the lowest cd of any SUV. same charge capacity, just less range.

Those weights are without any on-board power genset, and without pickup level payload capacity. They're going to have to bump up charging rates beyond that for a pickup towing a trailer... not to mention are facilities available at all stations for vehicles with cargo? What about live cargo?

The grid power draw requirements will increase exponentially...
