At it's root, it's an energy density problem. The 1060lb battery in my model 3 long range is energetically equivalent to about 2.5...

I agree that range and charge rate are more of a necessity than 3-second 0-60 times, especially for use cases like long distance towing...

I'm pretty sure Mitsubishi truck dealers can extend the frame with pre-built sections that get riveted in. I have no idea what it costs...
