Ryobi electric riding mower, any reviews?

I'm looking at a 42" ZTR Ryobi. Says battery should last 2.5-3 hours of cutting time. I'm worried that a lot of it is probably plastic to cut down on weight to help battery life.

I’ll wait on the Tesla model so I can take a nap while I cut the grass.

I am considering the EGO ZTR. Either that or a lawn service, I will get quotes soon. I don't want to deal with gas in a mower.

I feel like I’m in the twilight zone.

Another brand will hit the home centers in March. It will be all metal frame no plastic similar to an existing unit just battery powered.
Going to do some more dealer training this week on it and it is Lithium batteries with a shorter charging time versus the Ryobi.

Given the track record of battery cycle life in yard equipment, I would never spend $3k on a battery power mower. They're not selling you tesla battery tech for that price. In a few years, you will be able to mow half your yard on a charge. New battery (if you can even find one) will cost as much as a new mower. Thanks but no thanks. Bought a small riding mower last year. I expect it to last me 20 years. Spend maybe $1-2 per cut to operate.
