Are you kidding? People are buying 80K trucks all day long and FordGMDodge are laughing all the way to the bank. Trucks are the new luxury sedan and have even eclipsed SUVs for stupid-ness. Raptors are 80-90K and are everywhere. People want to roll around in a truck, it's like crack to Americans. It will sell like crack. |
Oh I know. My youngest works for a Ford Dealer part time and tells me about how many people spend ridiculous money on a truck. However, $80k starting is still not very appealing for many. Its not like it starts low and goes high to capture a large market like a regular F150 or even a Cybertruck, it starts high and goes higher. With Hummer having been gone for years now, I'm not sure how much the demand is for an EV truck outside of Tesla. I know there is demand for luxury trucks, but do those buyers want an electric truck is the question, and do they want it from GM of all companies. Truck owners have always struck me as people who want engines, but maybe they will be swayed by this. It seems every EV except for Tesla always seems to do terribly, so I'm waiting to see, it could do extremely well, or it may not. But I have a feeling this will just hype up Cybertruck lovers more than anything.
