NEW 2023 TESLA CYBERTRUCK COMPETITION? THE BEST EV ELECTRIC PICKUP TRUCK IN 2022?

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive overview of the electric pickup truck landscape, positioning the Tesla Cybertruck against its emerging competitors. The reviewer highlights the Cybertruck's anticipated delay to Q1 2023, potential spec changes, and a likely price increase, with a new quad-motor variant being a significant development. The Rivian R1T is praised as the first to market, offering impressive off-road capabilities and a premium interior, though with a significant order backlog. The Chevrolet Silverado EV is noted for its classic design, strong range (up to 400 miles), and competitive starting price, but its availability is pushed to summer 2024. The Bollinger B2 is confirmed as officially cancelled. The Ram 1500 EV is expected in 2025 with a 300-500 mile range. The Ford F-150 Lightning is lauded for its established brand, bidirectional charging, and a realistic 300-mile max range, with availability starting May 2022. The Lordstown Endurance faces production challenges but targets 250 miles of range. Conceptual entries include the Toyota Tacoma EV and GMC Sierra EV (mechanically similar to Silverado EV). The GMC Hummer EV is presented as a high-end, albeit slowly produced, option. Finally, the Canoo truck is mentioned as a uniquely designed, purpose-built pickup with a claimed 200+ mile range. The overarching theme is that while the Cybertruck faces delays and uncertainty, the EV truck market is rapidly expanding with diverse offerings.
