https://www.waldorfdodge.com/2023-ra...09%2C252%20lbs.
"The 2023 RAM 3500 specs indicate that at its lightest, this truck may come in at 6,056 lbs."
But yeah, it goes onto say "Heavier trims like the 2023 Ram 3500 Limited Longhorn can have a curb weight of up to 9,252 lbs. "
My underlying point is that it is a lot more than like an EV6 or something which is more like 4000~5000 lbs

In 2023, before they are on NACS, I'll just buy a Model Y for less and have better out of town charging experience.

Yes but then you are driving a Tesla
It is an automatic "you lose" proposition
Apparently the battery alone in the hummer weighs as much as a Honda Civic.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The F150 Lightning and Cyber truck are something like 9000lbs too.
Lightning is 6,000 - 6300 lbs depending on the battery size. You might be looking at payload
Here are some cool comparison videos of towing with an F150 Lightning VS Silverado EV.
In case you don't have time to watch these videos, Both the F150 Lightning and the Silverado EV towed a 6,500 lb trailer starting with a full charge.
The Lightning only made it about 85 miles before running out of battery, the Silverado EV went over 230 miles.
Pretty shocking difference in performance
Edit: 0.7 miles/kw on the Lightning
1.1 miles/kw on the Silverado EV

Test drives coming shortly. If you’re into EV garbage I think it’s worth taking a look.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The inoique 5N seems pretty cool for what it is but I still wouldn’t be caught dead in it.
You’re right, my mistake. It is 9000 payload.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Looks like the Hummer has the 9000lb curb weight.
None of these have 9000 payload guys. None.

Sitting in my second electric Uber of the day and 2/2 nearly didn’t reach their destination due to charge level.
In the first car it got to the point we needed the AC turned off.
First a polestar and second a Tesla. but yea range anxiety totally isn’t a thing.

Apparently it's a bigger problem with EV cabs than EV personal vehicles because the fast charging kills the battery worse than similar km's with home charging.

I don't understand how am EV cab could ever really be economical but I'm mainly basing that off of the thought that the cabbies making more serious money split their vehicle so it can run ~24hr per day.

First, as an Alpha generation softie who grew up idolizing Elon, you stretch your credit as far as you can make it go to get into a Tesla. Then after the high interest payments start and reality sets in, you start doing Uber and Lyft in the evenings to make payments.
When you need new tires, you just ask your parents
China only for now but Kia launched the EV5 for $20k. Specs wise it looks pretty crazy, smaller vehicle yet a larger battery meaning huge range.
Kia launches $20K EV5 electric SUV in China to rival Tesla Model Y (electrek.co)
If they could bring it to North America anywhere around the 30-40k mark with the larger battery that would be amazing.The standard Kia EV5 trim, starting at around $20K, is equipped with a 64.2 kWh BYD Blade battery pack and 160 kW motor, providing up to 530 km (329 miles) CLTC range. The long-range model features an 88.1 kWh battery for up to 720 km (447 miles) CLTC range.

Hyundai releases the 'hot' version of the ioniq 5. Looks like this little thing can really rip. If I wasn't so anti electric cars I'd love it.. I still kind of do
This one is sort of like a hot hatch. There is also an Ionic 6 N coming as well. Same drivetrain, but a lower and more slippery design.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I am really glad that somebody is taking performance EV's seriously.
The whole "lets send an 8000 lb car 0-100km in 2.2 seconds" thing is stupid. Every time somebody hits the gas instead of brake by accident, instead of being able to catch it, it sends Tesla's through storefront windows.
