I'm new to EVs and pickups. Which to rent for a five day trip in New Mexico? Pay out the butt for a 2014 Model S P85D or a really fancy looking Tacoma with short bed and crew cab (for like half a butt).
The side factor is my wife who mostly wants something that sits higher than a Civic and like me has never even been in an EV. She claims she doesn't get excited about cars. I don't think that's historically 100% true, but she'd probably be fine with a Kia Soul.
I'm thinking it might make more sense to drive a Ranger in Chicago for a day for the big thing in city test and rent the Model S on our trip even though I could rent a Porsche for less. For the most part we don't drive in the city a lot. I take the El. Sometimes she gets gigs in the burbs. Most parking is off-street for us.
