First one I have seen in person. I like it. I want one.

I will probably never see one. Up here in Maine, we still rub two sticks together to start a fire...
EV's are a novelty. In a mostly rural environment, the idea of a EV as a serious means of transportation is considered a bad joke.
To give you an idea, my wife bought a 2019 Suburban. So we sold her 2006 Equinox that she has owned since new. It had only 70K miles on it. The folks who bought it had just sold their EV. I asked them why. They said it was to much a PITA to keep it charged all the time and they wanted a gas burner becasue it was so much easier and less stressful to own.

Man could you imagine the 4ft 1x2 lumber you could get in that thing! Prob carry a sixer of truly too!
You know damn well these things aren't going to be worked. I was absolutely blown away when I saw one towing a boat. They must not have been going very far or they had a lot of time on their hands. I can't imagine dropping a trailer just to pull my truck into an area to "refuel" since pretty much every charger is setup as a dead end. You'd have the trailer hanging out into the area where people drive.

Almost every single new mine has been shot down and a tsunami of new battery factories coming online to fight for raw materials.

Honestly, i hope every manufacturer at this point that is going EV takes a shit. I know it won’t happen, but i would love nothing more.

so we'll have no manufacturers left? With the pending laws and regulations what else is it they're supposed to do?

I don't like this EV bullshit either but the manufacturers are hardly to blame
