I think the intent of question number one was for the cost of the truck compared to regular trucks, not the cost of recharging.

This is why we're keeping our 1996 Tahoe (210K miles) and our 1999 GMC Suburban (135K miles). They're both just about broken in.

Yes, and I’m saying the majority of 1/2 ton trucks are bought and used by far more folks than just ranchers and RVers.

Taxpayers have to cover Billions in deductions and credits offered to the oil and gas industry. A few grand directly to the consumer is not really that bad by comparison....especially to promote a U.S. made automobile.
The pricing is very much in line with new F150s.
Interesting snip from a story about a 1897 road trip from Cleveland to New York in one of those new fangled horseless carriages.
"Hatcher and I did not return by motor. We had blisters enough. You may wonder why, on this first trip ever attempted by an automobile over a long distance, we were able to complete a day’s journey on an average of six gallons of gasoline. The fuel was more volatile in those days, and we had a low-speed motor. The present high-speed motor uses a great deal more fuel, but it is a more adaptable engine for the needs of modern travel.
In those days there were no gasoline stations, and the only place the fuel could be purchased was in a drug store. If, by chance, the druggist had a gallon of it, we were happy. Seldom were we able to buy in such a large quantity and usually we had to be content with a pint or a quart.
But aside from generous newspaper space, the trip attracted no attention. I waited for months, but no financiers came to put their tall silk hats on my desk."

Good thing that guy didn't quit because it was hard to find gas in the early days. I love the rumble of an American V-8 but I admit we aren't going to be able to burn fossil fuels forever. Alternatives are coming, Fudd it all you want. Tesla ain't perfect but at least there is some innovation there. Someday the big three will get more involved and put their long history of engineering and innovation to work.
