Not sure why you're getting defensive. He made a solid point, you keep asking him to explain and give details, but you really haven' done the same, like he has.

I have explained and given details. My main point is the extra weight of an electric truck versus a standard. Look at it this way, a Chevy Malibu weight 3,100 lbs. It's about the same size as a Tesla Model S. But the Tesla weighs over 4,600 lbs. That difference is huge, especially when you start talking about big trucks versus cars. The bottom line is an electric truck will weigh more than a standard truck. Period, they just will. And even if they can pull twice the weight of a standard truck it won't matter because they will still be restricted by the roads themselves and the legal limit states will allow to travel on those roads. Again, the heavier the truck, the less weight it can legally haul. And the less freight it can haul, the less economically feesable the truck.
