They do say that they also offer a larger battery pack with a 240 mi range, but yeah, even so, it's not gonna be a great vehicle for long-distance highway travel compared to a current ICE vehicle. Fine for a commuter, though.
I do have a concern about that; a lot of pickup truck missions are go-and-get-it. The best lumber yard in my area just happens to be about 75 miles away. Not a problem for my S10, right on the cusp of what this thing can do.
That's 150 miles round trip, if you stop once to pee or whatever you can charge and boom, not on the cusp anymore
If you're the rare person who does 3 hours of driving without stopping then... Well, you do you
I've done that by car, motorcycle and airplane. Did two 3-hour legs on a motorcycle in the same day, out and back.
