In what way are you "holding out" for the cybertruck ? Have you ordered
one or are you waiting for the next design iteration ?

Do need 200 miles every day? Or once a week? Or once a month?
The Pacifica PHEV has a total range of about 520 miles. The first 32
miles are electric, and the remaining miles are on gasoline.
If you need 20 miles most days, and only need the 200 miles a couple of
times a month, the PHEV would be a pretty smooth 90% solution.
For my needs, I'm holding out for the Tesla truck, and driving one of
the GM 2-Mode hybrids in the meantime. I'll be happy to explain why
that's a match for my situation. Hopefully the Tesla truck will be a
long-term do-everything vehicle.

I need min 200 mile range with heat and defrost running. That's the RT
for most of my mountain activites, where there are few, if any
charging
opportunities (and frankly, with a 12-14 hour outing, I don't want to
add 30 minutes for charging). Also I'd like better ground clearance
than
the minivan, which is 6.5". I'd like some hauling capacity, but I
could
keep the minivan for occasional hauling.
I might have another look at the tesla truck. It would be nice if they
allowed you to take out the back seat and open the back of the cab,
for
long loads. It's ugly (in my opinion) but I don't really care. It's
also
too long for my driveway, I think. Need to double check.
