it doesnt make your opinions less valid, but thats the reason automakers make different cars and trucks, to try and capture the whole market.

Finally, everything we own (well, except for the old broke down classic pickup) is a four wheel drive. It just doesn't make sense to own a car that you can't drive more than half the year, and might not be able to get back home from town because it rained the other half of the year.
I'm actually glad the city folks are buying those electric toy cars because then they won't have the range to drive out where I live

You very very rarely ever see a Tesla here or even a bolt or similar for that matter for that very reason. I’ve never even seen a charging station here.

We don't really drive all that much but when we
do it is to go some distance. Even before I retired, I worked from home most of the time - and the rest of the time I would have to be driven to the airport to fly somewhere and work for a few weeks. I'm glad that I'm done with
that crap!
But our kids and grandkids live almost 2000 miles away
We got the pickup and camper shell so we can drive and sleep wherever along the way.
Now - it would be great I suppose if our jeep was electric because we mostly just drive it around the property. But I'm never going to live long enough to pay off
that sort of investment.
