At least the Scout had a couple of curves in it - not quite that toyish looking -

What year and mileage was it? If you don’t mind how much did you sell it for? I’m trying to gauge for my own.

Thanks

It's Brutalist. I love it. It's also a couple inches narrower than my Ram.

Disclaimer: these were mainly micro type cars, the Nissan leaf and the Mitsubishi i- m???

New battery packs are stupidly expensive to replace.

I'm all for elec vehicles, but, how are the batteries holding up in cold weather, we don't really have cold weather here so I have no real experience with that.

Cheers

Those microcars are not designed for longer travel, they don't have large battery cells with the internal controllers and cooling and heating to prevent cells dieing either. Tesla and rivian and other companies use a heating and cooling system in the battery packs so they perform fine in cold weather.


Also warranty wise they all these companies have battery warranties ranging from 5-8 years so honestly if your friends were having charge issues they should've been able to get it taken care of. I know tesla replaces the battery pack and then sends the old one off to panasonic to be rebuilt and older cells get recycled. That helps considerably with the cost.

My truck is basically a tow vehicle.. 15 years old and 76k miles. I think it'll work great for those "city truckers" that just HAVE to use a big ole truck to drive to work though.

It just ain't right -

In the electric sectors defense, the rivian has the same towing capacity as the tundra and ram 1500. Torque and HP are a non issue, electric motors in those are well over the 700hp and 9000 lb-ft of torque mark instantly as well. I'm unsure how they'll do range wise, but I can assume if you cut it's supposed range in half to 200 miles of towing it's still not that bad. I'm not sure what the diesel or gas equivalents do while towing as all their ranges tend to just be with there largest gas tank configurations and not accounting for towing either.

Darn, hopefully RIVIAN can last long enough to be a contender Good choices, hope to see you head back to the forum and tell us what you end up choosing when things get better!

200 miles of towing range is, literally, a joke. Even my 10mpg 496ci BBC isn't that bad on a tank. Also, a tank takes.. what, 10 minutes to fill? Vs 1hr plus?

Range and recharge times are the largest issues with electric vehicles just as it's been since the early 1900s.

When you're towing to race tracks, yes. When you're towing around town, range isn't a problem. When you're parking in your garage at night, recharge time isn't a problem. It's all about individual use cases.

range is always a problem. So is the batteries. Toyota was going to make a hybrid Tundra right up until they had issues towing with it.

Seems others got it right where Toyota hasn't yet. They will be in the game soon enough.

have they? we'll see. I have a feeling Toyota gave up simply because they are putting tons of cash into their solid state batteries.
