Those giant crew cab monstrosities are the best-selling vehicles in America.
The problem is that F150 buyers are the very largest anti-EV meatheads. It's the wrong market for such a vehicle.
This. People either want a giant diesel-guzzling truck, or they want a small efficient truck as their second vehicle for moving things around. Nobody's looking for a giant EV truck, especially at that price.
All they had to do was make an EV Tacoma (size-wise). Instead, they made an EV F-150.
If they had made an ev Tacoma I would have bought that instantly
We had a Tacoma growing up and it was honestly a great car. Wasn't too big to park, could fit a good amount in the bed, and had enough seats for five, though the second row was for the shorter passengers. It's also still being driven today. We had a small car for commuting as well, and the Tacoma mostly functioned as a second vehicle (for when two people need one, helped when I got a license) plus for whenever we went to Costco.
