That's definitely a fair assessment. I am not exactly regretting buying a diesel truck with 6 tires. I WISH it were electric.
The problem is, there is not a single manufacturer of EV that can tow either my current or previous RV. The previous RV was a fifth wheel that was 18000 pounds. That's higher than both Rivian and Cybertruck specs.
My Current RV is a truck camper (A HUGE ONE) that requires a 5000 pound payload capacity. That is also not in the cybertruck or rivian specs.
Ford's only migrating the F150 (I think?) which is far below my requirements too.
On top of all that, none of them are going Dually yet.
So it's fair to say, at this point in time, that's still at least 10 years off before ALL payloads and tow capacities reach diesel equivalents.
This whole thing is just an aside - all of the parameters currently displayed in in my truck could be replaced with digital LCD displays, even if it's not an EV. I'm only arguing for standards here.
I thought there must be some kind of standard, but at present all,I can find in Australia is a requirement that the speedometer be visible and prominent at all times day and night.
