What are the odds the EV Ram 1500 will be any good?

What are the odds the EV Ram 1500 will be any good? Especially with touting a 500 mile range, could they really sweep the EV/PHEV truck market?

      Can they innovate? That would depend upon how much their parent company wants them to succeed in the United States. They may reach their target goal, but their product will be utter shite as it always has been.

    it will have the same downsides as every other electric truck. so no, it won't be good as a truck.

      The downsides only affect 2% of the market.

        Most truck buyers don't use their vehicle as a truck, so performance is irrelevant to them. The point still stands, electric trucks have downsides as trucks.

          Yea, but 98% of truck owners won't be affected.

            Not shitty if it meets the consumer demands.

            A sedan would meet those consumers demands. It's still shitty in its capability as a truck.

            No it wouldn't. It would fail the "needs to look like a pickup truck" requirement.

          Which is why electric trucks are so good.

        It'll be as pointless as the Lightning.

        The tools with money to buy this sort of gimmick shit also have various toys they want to move between lake cabins.
        They're not going to touch it if it can't go anywhere towing at even half the rated capacity.

    Interior is probably going to be best in class vs the Silverado and F150, but I don't have much confidence in the drivetrain. Stellantis basically has zero experience in EVs while Ford and GM are on their 2nd/3rd generation products respectively.
    Stellantis is shoveling in cash like everyone else but the first few years may be rough.

      Yes. It won't have a payload. The Silverado EV does this and has less payload than a Maverick or Caravan.

    Not a single Ram truck has been worth a shit long term, so this one won't be any different. Expect a plethora of mechanical/electrical issues, especially with this first gen model.

      Those guys drove it through Alaska with a camper topper on the bed, but I haven't had a chance to watch it.

      Why was Chrysler so slow to make EVs, bros? In 30 years people will be telling stories of how ridiculously short-sighted Chrysler was and use it as an example of how not to run a company. There's a good chance that being this far behind on EVs could be their death.

      They've been rushing for a full year now since getting the "hint" from moronic investors and clueless politicians.
      They probably found a supplier to do most of the electrical systems for them.

          Just meant it in a sense that they're probably not trying to develop something completely cutting edge and new from scratch, just using what somebody else already has access to.
          Not that I know what garbage Stellantis has added to its trash heap of random failed brands.

      They *could* be smart and see what works or fails and improve on it after seeing whats being put out. Or not, and just perform terribly
