Munro; my least favorite "resource" for EVs. I'll begrudgingly/enthusiastically watch because I like both those characters, despite their quirks.

I started a spreadsheet listing contenders for the next vehicle, and Cybertruck made the short list. Not a likely option, but you've got to have items on a list to make a decision. Will probably create a weighted ranking of various pros/cons of the vehicles (subjectively evaluated) on the spreadsheet and allow the algorithm make the decision. My guess is a Toyota Sienna, despite the fact it's the least thrilling option on the list.

So far;

Kia EV9
Sienna LE
Model X
Cybertruck
Pacifica

EDIT: Interestingly, the Tesla website is showing a $10k reduction in price already for all but the top trim. More disappointingly, the truck is advertising 5 seats, not 6. Don't know what happened there, but I have no use for a vehicle that hauls the minimum number of occupants.

*Oregon does permit passengers in the bed as long as all seatbelts are in use.
