My mistake! That's what I get for reading the comment but not putting it into the context of the post.
It isn't that people want EVs they want truck form factor EVs. And yes, Tesla has failed on providing that.

Personally, I don't care if it can do what I need.
But it is fair to say that acceptance often has a very significant social component (and most engineers ignore this). It's often impossible to gain acceptance of a very new thing in one step (to different), but possible by producing multiple in between points. This is true even if the end thing is much better.
So for other vehicle makers, I would expect them to be smart enough to get to amazing end state in steps instead of trying it all at once
