EV trucks don’t have to be about the environment. My F-150 lightning was cheaper than the comparable ICE model, and is the best performing truck I’ve ever owned.
It tows 8,000lbs like there’s nothing behind it, doesn’t give af about elevation, never losses traction, and takes off like a rocket. Being vastly cheaper to run as well as being better for the environment could be secondary to any sensible truck owner who isn’t towing more than ~120 miles at a time.
The EV Silverado looks even better.
The CyberTruck failed because it’s a douche mobile, who’s only purpose was to get attention.
The F-150 was discontinued because Ford is a dinosaur of a company who couldn’t sell it correctly (or didn’t want to advertise it’s strengths and tick off their hick ICE buyers).
It did not flop as a design, it flopped because of Musk, and it flopped because pickup buyers don’t give a fuck about the environment.
The F150 Lightning also flopped and didn’t look like fridge.

Yes, it’s Ford’s fault pickup buyers don’t want EVs.
and sold a whopping 7,400 , or 1/8th cybertruck sales. Proves my point.
oh yes, nothing like V8 lifted pickups.
