I drive 150 miles in a day about once a month when I drive the nicer gas car for pleasure. My commute is 40 miles round trip in shitty 1990s cars that I wouldn’t want to drive any further, probably akin to the QoL in this truck. My weekly travel total averages 200 miles.
If you actually write down your habits, the majority of people are much less affected by the short range than they think. If you’re hauling 2000lbs of gravel 400 miles a day, this is not, and is not supposed to be, the truck for you
I love the idea of just using your own phone or tablet for Nav/media if implemented properly.
150 miles would work just fine for most people, assuming it actually does 150 miles and will continue to for years, which I feel like is never what actually happens. There it a larger battery option, obviously for more $$$ lol.
