Right but people buying F-150s are not buying Teslas. The use case is quite different. My Subaru Outback (a rather large car in comparison to the Tesla) is 3,600 lbs. But I doubt the increase in weight is a huge factor in environmental concerns.



But compared to freight trucks, the F-150, the EV, and the Outback are all inconsequential.

Have you been to a Texas city? They're full of F-150s driving around a single person and an empty bed on paved roads.

Sure, farmers and contractors use trucks as trucks, but thousands of people use them as commuter cars. Most pickup trucks are used as trucks once in a blue moon.

If you want to make this argument you should account for the weight of a loaded F150
