Not a joke, but a trick. As a general rule of thumb, if you see any car mpg rating over about 50 or truck mpg rating over about 30, you should be looking for the trick (as you have). The trick here is simple:OmCheeto said:Is this an April Fool's joke?
The Via Motors 100 mpg full sized truck is an electric hybrid pickup truck that is designed to achieve a fuel efficiency of 100 miles per gallon.
The truck uses a combination of electric and gasoline power to achieve the 100 mpg goal. It has a plug-in electric battery system that can travel up to 40 miles on a single charge, and a gasoline-powered generator that kicks in when the battery is depleted to extend the range of the truck.
The truck has a payload capacity of 1,500 pounds and can tow up to 6,000 pounds. It has a range of 400 miles on a full tank of gasoline and a full charge, and can reach a top speed of 100 mph. It also has a regenerative braking system that helps recharge the battery while driving.
Yes, the truck is available for purchase directly from Via Motors, as well as through select dealerships. It is currently only available in certain states in the US, but Via Motors plans to expand its availability in the future.
The truck offers significant cost savings on fuel, as well as reduced emissions and a lower environmental impact compared to traditional gasoline-powered trucks. It also has the capability and power of a full sized truck, making it a practical and sustainable option for those in need of a pickup truck.
