Ram 1500 Rev Electric Pickup Shockingly Sells Out Quick

​

Even though some were disappointed that the Ram 1500 Rev didn’t end up as wild and innovative as the concept, it didn’t seem to matter.

It's not a truck. It's a vanity vehicle.

I bet nearly every one that signed up has a man bun and a man purse.

Or sees dollar signs by flipping the truck after taking ownership.

Just a little side note on the ECO friendly EV's.

Bleak photos show the reality of the cobalt mining industry responsible for the batteries in your phone, computer, and car

Everyday necessities like smartphones, computers and electric vehicles all use lithium batteries, meaning they all require cobalt.

But not limited to the auto industry

The 2022 Ford Lightning also sold out at the beginning, then they opened up ordering after that and raised the prices, and now Lightning's are sitting at dealers because potential buyers rejected it, and theres no shortage of them, there were many factors, dealer upped the price on the unit and claimed bs market adjustment, interest rates and early buyer reviews, it was range loss in the cold and towing and more, sorry but being a beta tester for some car or truck worth almost or north of 100k doesn't interest me, it will be interesting to see how this plays out for Ram and GM's truck.

Wow, you made that up. According to a local Ford dealer I talked with a couple weeks ago, if they get any in they are gone in a couple days. They sell most at the under $100K mark, and at retail, no discount. They do start at $47K too, not over $100K You can get almost any new truck, ICE or EV, over $100K if you option it too much.

No I didn't make it up, why would I, do some more research, not some single dealer, let me make it easier for you, go on Auto Trader, the dealers are listing plenty they cant dump.

California's Imperial Valley is now being called the Lithium Valley

Salton Sea's lithium capacity is nearly the size of the world's largest deposits in Bolivia and Chile combined, at 32 million metric tons.

It is prime Lithium, a term they use is Green Lithium, apparently the Greener the Lithium Salts the better.

The only thing that they are not being fully truthful about is that they need WATER that they don't have.
They need a 60 mile long canal that is wide enough to move large barges back and forth to the mines, that same water will be used for flushing the Lithium Salts from the unwanted materials.

They can not use the water from the Salton Sea, it is too salty & salt water fish that are still living would be killed off.
So they will need to build the canal & pump water into the Salton Sea.
The Salton Sea was once part of the Gulf of California, but it dried up, then human beings unwittingly caused the area to flood with water from the Colorado River.
Back in the 1950s to maybe 1980s, the area was a 60 mile long beach resort
Everyone wants it to be a resort again

The dealers around me have many that are unsold, because of the hype of being able to tow with them and other issue's people have cancelled their orders, and ford still raised the MSRP on them!!!

Nope, my local dealer said the same. Lightnings and Mach Es are sitting there.

The "reservations" for the Ram Rev at this point is really just getting in line to be able to place an actual order for one if you still want it when they do start taking orders for it.

My motivation for getting in on the reservation was to be able to have an inside look at how this whole process works while also learning as much as I could about all the new technology involved in an EV. When the actual time comes to decide to place an order or not, pricing and available configuration will determine if I do place an order or decline.

I am more of a basic 4WD consumer whose hiking, backpacking, and outdoors time needs the basics but certainly not the high end luxury options, on a vehicle that routinely gets dirty, dusty, and muddy. The fall of 2019 bought my first and current Ram truck, a basic model, after over 20 years of owning two Jeeps. I wanted more room than my 2 door Wrangler had and the Jeep Gladiator hadn't been out long enough for me to feel comfortable with it given some of the remote hiking trailheads that I find myself at. So the Ram seemed to be the next best fit. So far I have enjoyed it, love how it handles and rides.
