In my own case, I'm a self employed business owner and there is no way in hell I'd pay $90k plus for an EV Vito to replace my diesel Vito, I lose range, power, towing, payload and pay upto $30K more... On a private vehicle side no EV makes me go "damn I've got to have one"...and I've got solar at home, offered free solar on my factory roof every second week and so can put a charger at work.

That's where Tesla have really messed up they should have produced a proper ute and a van instead of the stupid cybertruck.....a Tesla van with a bit of grunt and decent sized battery pack would suit you well , but that's Elon for you brilliant but weird
