Because you clearly don't live in the rural Midwest where everyone and their grandma has plenty of towing capacity.

I don't personally like trucks, but an electric truck is far a more environmentally friendly choice than literally every other truck.

I live in rural Alberta. If you want an electric vehicle a lighting is the same sort of silly as a cybertruck. I was not factoring in towing, I did not mention towing, I don't think towing matters to most truck owners other then an excuse.

You should look at evs, but if you want to be environmentaly friendly buying a literal truck load of lithium batteries is not the flex you think it is.
