As far as Range is concerned: Tesla is claiming 300+ miles for the "low end" specs of the truck and 500+ miles for the "high end" specs.

I reserved the least expensive Mach-E: That one is the farthest "out" by date and gets me closer to the lease end date on the Bolt. According to their FAQ, however, once you get to place your order you can change it up however you like. So we'll see what I order vs what I reserved LOL.

Yeah, the resemblance to DeLorean seems obvious to me. I guess I’m not alone.

As far as range, trucks towing a heavy and large trailer are not even close to cars. A large pickup towing a fiver or even large conventional trailer will need at least 100 HP at drive wheels, so if it’s an electric pickup, batteries will need to supply at least in the order of 100 kW. So a 100 kWh battery would last an hour, and you’d travel 60 ~ 70 miles on the freeway. For towing large fiver you’d need at least 300 kWh of batteries to get in range of 200 miles to empty.

It’s conceivable, but I just don’t see this pickup towing a large RV trailer in near future.
