Make these with a 400 mile range and sell them for $20k. They'd sell 100 million of them.
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

I’ve seen two now. One in Los Angeles last year sometime, and one in Sarasota, FL a couple weeks ago. They look ok, but the reviews are not good.
I saw one in Chicago a couple of weeks ago, and that's the first time in probably a decade that I didn't know the vehicle i was looking at until I got close enough to read the brand, and still didn't know anything about it.
Have you checked out the Silverado EV or Sierra EV? I have the Silverado EV and love it.
Looks too much like an Avalanche.
Seriously though I have a friend with one and he loves it too. I just hate the interior of every GM vehicle I've rented over the past 5 years.
Range is the least of that things worries.
Jalopnik has some pretty interesting articles about them.
jalopnik isn't even worth the scrap it's written on now. it's trash compared to it's former self.
Thought you got banned from this thread....welcome back.
They were ok for a while after the Hulk Hogan vs Gawker lawsuit but the last 12-18 months I'd agree. I still read their morning news rundown but that's the one article a day that's occasionally interesting.
Can't even remember the last time I've read one of their articles. Thankfully the OPPO community still lives on on FB.
Another positive study:

"To get these numbers, researchers gathered responses from 4,205 participants between January 21 and March 31, 2026. The group included 3,809 current electric car drivers. The questionnaire asked people what they would purchase next, offering a clear look at owner loyalty after years of real-world use. As a result, nearly 90% of respondents plan to immediately buy another fully electric car, and 5.5% want a plug-in hybrid. Those two groups combine to 95.3% of owners choosing to stick with a battery-powered model."
"How do these cars hold up over time? A large number of drivers say their electric vehicle beats an equivalent gasoline car on practical metrics. For instance, nearly 73% rate their electric car as more reliable than a gas version, and fewer than 5% feel the opposite. Drivers report the cars are cheaper to fuel and easier to maintain. Many owners find them more enjoyable to drive. Over time, loyalty appears to grow stronger as drivers spend more years with the technology. Among people who bought their first electric car in 2020 or earlier, 96.7% are likely to pick another one for their next purchase. Tesla owners reported near-identical loyalty at 96.6%."
Only 0.5 percent of EV drivers plan to buy a gas car next: Survey finds
Almost no electric vehicle drivers plan to buy a gasoline car next time around. In fact, a new survey found just 0.5% of current owners...

Counting down the weeks until we'll never have an ICE vehicle again 
Almost always makes the most financial sense to keep what you have.
