I think it's less about aversion to EVs and more about aversion to the $100,000 price tag.
If that thing is $50k, I think sales at least stay even, if not pick up.
Someone mentioned somewhere that the original creators of Tesla aimed for the high end market because there kind of wasn't an industry around making EVs, so there wasn't a way to do economy of scale with them, so an electric car was GOING to be a luxury item. It seems like nobody has tried to change that.
That’s the thing, most of these trucks were ~$50,000. But people see the ~220 mile range on the base truck and overdid it on range anxiety and blew the problem way out of proportion.
