They also weigh even more than an equivalently sized combustion powered truck, and really do a number on road surfaces. Because they weigh so damn much the kinetic energy involved when the Karen driving one inevitably hits something is also immense, even more than a fuel burning truck of the same dimensions. Bear that in mind in case you ever find one plowing through your living room.

The vast majority of people who think they "need" a truck do not, in fact, actually need a truck or large SUV.

Why would they do that when rich people buy new ones every two years? Everyone else can just buy a used car.

The people that can afford these cars typically buy them out right, or they use collateral to obtain them. This isn't a game for common folk.

To be fair, if this car is even remotely on your radar as a serious purchase possibility, you probably have a car that you'd trade in to lower that $130K number.

Of course, I don't, but that's why I'm not even considering it.
