But what if instead of 15k small sedan/hatch you could have a 50k (base) SUV that looks like a brick and needs twice the battery to go the same distance?

Thanks to Rivian, we already have that covered!

Lol, starting price of around $78k.

I guess I'm keeping my f350 running for another 27 years... give me something I can afford that meets my needs. I hate driving the truck without the trailer but I can't afford a 50k suv that won't even do the job of my truck. Besides I miss the way my last sedan handled and want another, but again I can't justify 40k, but maybe 20k

edit - and just a few hours latter the fuel tank fell off and there isn't enough unrusted metal to reattach it. I don't have time for that much body work so it is gone. :(
