    Just returned from a West Coast trip. Saw more EVs than ever in CA, OR & Canada. I'd estimate maybe 1% of Utah vehicles are EV whereas about 5% on West Coast were.

    Batteries - that's what it comes down to, in my opinion. We've simply got to get a handle on efficient & effective ones.

    I saw what I think was the same one again today, I sat behind it at a stop light...You're right about the ground clearance, and sitting in my truck I could see all the roof of what passes for a cab...And if it's a truck, where's the box?......Ben

    The musk truck is a joke. My buddy own a Rivian SUV and it's not a bad truck. Still has the EV limitations though....
