When I first met my lady she saw the truck and was like ohhhhh. First time I stayed at her place and fired it up from the balcony while she was still in bed she rolls over and says "that is so ******* hot".
Electric cars are "cool" sure but they are definitely not the end all be all of the future. Not yet. The charging is terrible. They have no idea how to recycle or dispose of the batteries yet. Sure one day when those things are rectified they will become more popular.

Sounds like those of us with nice exhausts have all the toys we need, batteries included

So I am on a tangent today and I found this surprisingly attractive truck rendering (note, none have been built except a handful of test beds) 8k rating puts it at what my Tahoe could do, nearly 20yrs ago tho 
But the implementation of the fuel cell really changes the game

1) 30gal, actually. Total capacity 56gal; but if I am being honest I dont run it below 1/4 tank, which is ~10gal remaining so that leaves 46gal and I dont fill both tanks to 100% because (full disclosure here) the evap system cant keep up with both tanks and the second tank pressurizes itself. I havent sorted that out. So I run heavy with ~40gal when I do fill. 40*14 (she gets ~17 on the highway, but I am shorting it for the simps)=560. You know, the 500+ I've been claiming since I went and added up all the annual fuel averages: https://www.statista.com/statistics/...es-since-1990/
2) yes I am a jackass, first time on the internet?
3) of course its about me, I'm the only one that has provided research, numbers, shown my work and demonstrated this is a stupid idea

Bro, did you even read your link? It was a speculative article about the design Tesla would have to put into the Model S. The model S didnt even exist when that article was written
Everything about what you post is hypothetical. I am thus far the only one bringing math and data to the table

Yes you do still think its all about you. I was trying to brainstorm to find an ideal niche, but that wasn't okay with you. "theres no vehicle and no person this would work well for because you have your tahoe. Everyone should duplicate your tahoe because that would be perfect for everybody."
So when I say you're being a jackass, its because you think it can only be about your vehicle, and everyone should just do what you did. It can only be about making vacations the way you would. It has to be a road trip in an RV, and not actually stopping anywhere because that's how you would do it. Its because you got pissy about needing to use the same websites you use. Its about you being so incredibly narrow minded you can't even imagine a vehicle being used beyond your self by any of the other 300+ million people in the country or 7 billion people on the planet. I'm just asking who this might work for, and you jumped to: this won't work for anyone, because it won't work for you.

In other words... I really couldn't care less about sneaking around quietly in the middle of the night.

It's like the argument I've had on other forums about RC cars "Battery VS Nitro"
Battery is faster(speed)
Battery is easier (no tuning)
Nitro is more maintenance
Nitro can't play in the house
Take a battery & nitro car/truck to a public park.
Run them simultaneously around a crowd of people...
the Nitro car/truck will get more eyes on it..
WHY?
I think we all know the answer to the question.

I can do that now. Just take her car. Or better yet don't have to be a sneak and just tell her I'm going out with the boys. Or even better still.... I start the RZR in the garage, load it on the trailer, start the truck, hook the truck to the trailer, load the RZR on the trailer and go riding for the day, come back, and get a hug and a kiss when I am home.
In other words... I really couldn't care less about sneaking around quietly in the middle of the night.
