Quoted from jawjaw:I guess electric car guys think completely different. An ugly car is an ugly car in my book. A 63 Corvette is a beautiful car. An 83 Corvette not so much. Which you think is more desirable today? Saying that electric car market is different thus electric cars must be designed awkwardly ugly is ridiculous. Perhaps there is a market for ugly trucks for people that don't buy trucks. Read something that there are already 200,000 deposits down for the truck so maybe I am wrong. Man, it's going to ruin my day to be stuck behind one in traffic and have to stare at it's storage shed ass.
So what exactly does a 1983 corvette look like? I know what an 82 looks like and an 84, but not an 83. 
Quoted from jawjaw:It's ugly.
I'm the same age. Watched and loved the same shows. That doesn't change anything. Those cars were not built well, drove terrible, and did not age well.
Really? 1983's are ugly?

FYI, there are no 1983 corvettes. They went from 82 to 84 and skipped a year, lol. I will agree though that the C4 is probably the least attractive of the corvettes.

The problem is that electric trucks don't actually work that well for actual 'truck' things, lol. Like around here towing your boat to the lake a couple hours away is a common thing. Electric trucks are a non-starter with that.
I just don't see them being successful anytime soon other than people who live in the city and want to be first adopters. Promises and reality are two different things in the renewable energy area, lol.
Quoted from cookpins:I mainly use my truck for hauling lumber, from the big box store 5 mins away. This is perfect for my “truck thing” needs. Except, I have a clean F150 that cost me $4k…I’ll probably pass on the $70k upgrade.
This is it exactly. People who buy expensive trucks usually don't use them for truck things, they're the new 'nice car' for guys. They usually only do things like hauling trailers, hauling furniture, etc, things where the truck won't get beat up, long trips are common. Work trucks are the opposite, they're low optioned trucks that get beat up every day, usually don't go more than 100 miles in a day.
Electric trucks currently don't serve either of those. Too expensive to be a work truck, too low of range and towing to be the 'nice car' for anyone except for people living in big cities where they don't travel.
