No, not because it's electric, but because it's fucking ugly

Only thing tighter than that bed load is the number real estate on that KTM side plate.

It's a honda ridgeline that makes no noise, except when the gas generator is running to charge it and the stark bike in the back. Then I have to be the dick and ask the proprietor of said setup if "they" can shut off "they're " loud ass generator so I am not so annoyed being parked by "them".

From the first time I saw this truck I pictured a young Elon having drawn this ugly truck and a little kid. Being very proud of it and his parents and or Teachers all said it was horrible. And laughed when Elon said that he would someday make trucks that looked like that.  And he built it just to show he was right about something to do with it.  

 

It has to be some sort of publicity vehicle. Something they made to look very different.  Gas,diesel electric, I don't think I would buy one myself. As a pickup truck it seems kinda useless. If I was getting an Electric truck I would get a Hummer, Rivian or Lightning.  They can do more truck like things. But for me, I prefer diesel trucks. I tend to drive long distance when I do drive my truck. I love the power and torque . But I'm not as sold on Electric for pickup trucks as I am for other vehicles. For around town and a lot of the closer places I drive. Electric would work fine for me. But as far as what I use my truck for. Plowing, and towing heavy stuff. 16K 5th wheel, skidsteer,etc. make up most of the miles on it.  I think a diesel electric Hybrid would be amazing. Electric MX bike, EMTB, SXS, even a car. But when I use my truck it gets worked and charging with a trailer would be a pain. 

 

All that aside, I would not want that truck just based off of how it looks. It feels more like an SUV than a real truck. For many people I'm sure it would work. It would work for most of the driving I do that I do not use my truck for. I would love to test-drive one. But I don't think I would buy one unless my life changes and what I use a truck for changes. Just not for me.

I wish it had a Stark in the back just so we could see a complete melt down from MxAddic, RACING and the rest of their posse.

It's Fuglectric.

I'm not quite sure I understand that overhang into the bed, either. Do you have to remove the front fenders of the bikes to get them in there?

Just push the front end down while wheeling them forward as fast as you can I guess 😂

Horrendous.

If you're buying an EV truck why get anything other than the Ford? Save for maybe the Rivian. Maybe.

Ridgeline owner from the big city here. I wouldn’t be caught dead in that thing.

After looking closely at a Rivian in their showroom, no way would I spend the money on that build quality. It looks nice from 50 at 50 but up close it’s pretty rough

Shouldn't you be fondling the nutsack that surely hangs from the hitch on your big man truck. U ever drive a Ridgeline ?

I thought it would be like the Chevy Avalanche and have a fold down back seat/wall. But after looking at the Tesla site quickly I do not think it has that. The overhang looks like it is kinda like a bed cover that can retract or fold up. They show it with the entire bed covered. And say the cover is removable.   tows 11K They have a range extender that  looks like it cuts the bed space in half. that gives You 471 miles of range.   

A friend of mine drives his model 3 from NJ to visit me in southeastern MA . about 300 miles 1 way.  He is able to do it and have 25% left if he drives to maximize range. And it only cost about $12 for him to charge at my house. I happen to have 220 that he can charge off of. takes about 7 or 8 hours.  He comes up with My sister ,their kid and the car packed with camping gear, bicycles sometimes, etc.  

 

I wonder how it would be to plow with one? I've noticed that gas trucks seem to get better traction. I was thinking its the torque of the diesel. But that seems wrong. I don't know if you can put a plow onto one or not. But a 5th wheel hitch looks like its not possible. For throwing a couple bikes in the back, and using like a lot of people use a truck , it might do a lot of truck like things.
