I think there’s a very very low chance. I live in Utah and have land in Wyoming. I own the hybrid (powerboost) F150 and use it for its intended purposes constantly. I am in southern Utah and northern Wyoming all the time. There is simply zero infrastructure for electric vehicles in the areas I frequent. I get 600 miles per tank and there are gas stations everywhere, zero charging stations. Plus people hate Elon and the cybertruck is the ugliest car ever made.

Montana here. If you have a petrol pickup you're considered a bit of a sissy. Diesel is what you want to demonstrate masculinity. Electric. Yeah no.

[windowshopping]

do people in the west really say petrol? east coaster here and never heard that outside of britain

[kylehotchkiss]

“gas” is ambiguous, especially when there are CNG vehicles on the road.

[filoleg]

I don’t think so. Been living in Seattle for almost 8 years, spent a lot of time in CA and Oregon as well. The only time I ever heard word “petrol” was in british media.

[ethanbond]

I grew up in Arizona around plenty of macho truck people and never heard “petrol.” I suspect an expat.

[elliotec]

No, never.

I'm going to guess dboreham is Canadian?

[red-iron-pine]

I'm in Alberta, aka North Montana. Can confirm Diesel is big here, tho there is arguably a practical need.

There is some anecdotal story about how Chevy had a batch of diesel Colorado trucks and they sold out couple hours hour they made them available online.

Gassers are better for starting in sub-0F temps, thought it would get that cold in Montana but guess it's location dependent

[ClassyJacket]

I think it looks fantastic. It's the only car that doesn't look like every other car. I just don't want a ute, I want that exterior design on a Model Y layout.

Wouldn’t folks just charge at home? How many miles per day do you drive? I own an EV and I charge at home except on 300+ mile road trips

[kylehotchkiss]

600 miles per tank is enviable! I’d love to not need to fuel up so much. What’s your actual milage?

[elliotec]

My lifetime mpg is just about 20 on the dot. It’s a 30.6 gallon tank. Keep in mind I’m driving through canyons and mountain passes and just about maxing out my payload over half the time I drive. It’s incredible.

I would imagine Wyoming and Montana pickup buyers aren’t particularly representative.
