I feel like I'm making a lot of "here's the deal" posts these days, but here comes another one...
Once a technology becomes universally superior, there will still be people who hate on it. Look at ICE cars. They were universally superior for the last 100 years. If nobody hated on them, we wouldn't be making advancements in electric cars today.
@EV-offroad After seeing the F-150 Lightning in action on such an expedition, loaded down with about the same amount of gear that these totally-ridiculously-heavyweight travelers like to carry, you must accept the fact that it isn't practical for most. You must also accept the fact that most of the people who would attempt such a trip carry the tons of gear that drain their MPG's and would drain the expected range of an EV much more, which several have mentioned. No matter how much an EV might work for you or me or somebody else, that doesn't mean the others will like it.
You must also accept the fact that driving around these 8,000 pound monster rigs loaded down with drawers and decks and fridges and kitchen RTT trailers aren't practical for some of us either. Those are the guys you're bringing an EV to. They scoff at my vehicle, too.
Don't play the victim because other people don't like your toy. Just do your stuff, man. If you feel like you have to defend what you're doing, you're probably thinking about it too much and not enjoying it enough. Go drive your rig to Miami or take a run around Moab or rip down some fire roads or whatever you like to do, but don't expect to find many people who like the way you do what you do, or the tools you use to do it.
Nobody likes what I do either, so I don't post it on the Internet.
