Title is quote from Tesla Master Plan, Part Deux by Elon Musk (2016)
Wondering if part of CT polarizing effect is about the character of the drivers. There‘s not enough F-150 Lightning data to assert electric pickup truck demographics yet. I think there will be a landslide of change in these longstanding statistics as the Electric Vehicle charging network continues its NACS expansion. Ford, Chevy, and Stelantis made a great case for the utility of American pickup trucks for most forms of blue collar labor. They should be very proud that their vehicles more often than not are used by the contractors building GiGa Texas (Austin). At some point in the next several months, there will be an opportunity for Tesla to price its vehicles for affordability by families with household income averages closer to the $62K median household income of Americans. Hopefully Elon will price the Tri- and quad-motor variants at the levels that white-collar workers are willing to afford (like his $100K Electric Honda civic that’s cool) and his high-volume dual motor CT work horse variant at an affordable blue collar price.
Hedgescompany.com/blog/ reports F-150 demographic identifies average age 55, 84% male, about 75% white male, vast majority in medium/large cities, and average income $82K (median US household income $62K). Please don’t hammer me on selective statistics. Same study reports Silverado 1500 buyers as avg age 54, 84% male, vast majority in medium/large cities, and averag income $76K. Same study lfully reports RAM 1500 with average age 50, 81% male, and vast majority in small/rural towns.
