I don't understand the obsession with range. I agree that efficiency is important, but who is regularly driving a pickup truck 200 miles in a day?

    Americans get anxiety from having to do math in their heads. Average commute distance is 30 miles a day, and there is always some asshole who whines about towing his boat. But don’t try rational arguments with pickup drivers who commute to office jobs and drive a tank for that one time they needed to move a brother in law’s couch.

    It isn't regularly, it is what you do on the margins. that one trip a year. Those really cold days in winter (ICEs have a built in heater). 200 miles is more than enough most days, but once a month it will be really close.
