Video Summary

- The cost of electric charging has been more expensive than anticipated and competitive gas prices make EVs less attractive.
- Public charging stations are hit or miss in terms of functionality, and apps providing information on these stations are not always accurate.
- The powertrain malfunction light has come on a couple of times while driving, with pending software updates potentially being the cause.
- Update of the vehicle is seen as an annoyance.
- During hotter temperatures, the range is lower compared to when it is cold.
- The range decreases significantly in hot and cold weather.
- The truck's price offsets any gas savings.
- There is over 500 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque.
- Overall ride is not very fatiguing, with a luxurious and quiet interior.
- High wind noise if windows are down.
- The 2.0 miles per kilowatt-hour range is seen as not that amazing.
- Recommends not buying it as a primary vehicle.
- Recommends buying it used.
- Overall, an actual gas truck is superior.
- The power of the truck, while sufficient, does not have the "soul" of a gas engine.
