2. The earth is is a propane tank.
Lets be clear, opaque propane tanks are spherical.

The Flat Earth is inside a propane tank because under Flat Earth Doctrine that is the only way to contain the atmosphere.

Terry Pratchett's discworld didn't need a perimeter ice wall nor propane tank ceiling.

What does that prove to you? (Assuming it’s real).
Your High Priests have long said the 24 Hour Sun was impossible on their Flat Earth, then all on The Final Experiment witnessed it.

Flat Earth debunked, disproven, to it's highest and most devote practitioners.

Dodge with a kickass HEV?

Just what I've been wanting to see for 10 years or more, only I wanted a small diesel for a power plant with a two speed system to run the auxiliary systems AC and a constant 12 volt. Run at a low rpm when just AC or 12 volt DC then kick the engine up to an 1800 or 2200 rpm run speed for the generator for the main battery. Then use the small engines "waste" heat for battery temperature management and cab heating.

What GM could have done almost a decade ago by upsizing the Volt technology to get an extended Range truck and been out ahead of RAM on this but they killed it instead. Now they are behind in extended range hi MPG trucks that can tow long distance that don't require a 200KWH battery. GM missed a big opportunity. Ford has done pretty well with theirs.

I think the Ramcharger will do well and a lot of truck owners that actually use their trucks will buy it before a Cybertruck.

Tesla does not have a competitor to a work truck that can tow long distance. Maybe it is in the works. I am not convinced EV trucks will be where they need to be to compete without much lighter and energy dense batteries.
Assuming you mean pickup trucks and the like, I think they will be among the last to make the switch, which is probably why Dodge's approach with the Ramcharger makes sense. Total HEV, no range or charging issues, and 500 hp to boot.
