That's not entirely true. Quite a lot of farmers and contractors who need a truck have bought CTs and use them every day. I've heard a lot of them praise the Powershare feature that allows them to run machinery off of the truck's main battery. There are tradeoffs for both EVs and ICE vehicles, for sure, but plenty of folks are using CTs for legit heavy duty work. There's no more reliable drivetrain than an EV due to them having about 95% less moving parts versus a traditional ICE drivetrain. Where they fall short is towing long distances. They need to increase the battery density quite a bit more before they'll compete with diesel in that category.
