    Bigger may not be better when it comes to the battery.

    well 100 miles is going to cost $3,000 - how many more $3,000 do you want them to add? the reality is that for what this pickup is 150 - 250 miles advertised should be plenty I'll use my wife's daily driving as an example: 40 miles to town lets estimate high and say 20 miles driving around...

    Bigger may not be better when it comes to the battery.
