Will the V6 run all the time?

There are different modes. It will run full EV if you want it to.

It's a hybrid with a full EV mode. The v6 is a generator, in theory it charges faster then it is driven per the specs so far so. Should be able to do full EV until it's at like 20% then let it charge I suspect.
Anyone that gets "stranded" because their EV runs out of battery deserves it for being stupid and not planning better. It's not hard to figure out range.

Same thing as getting stranded with no fuel. Harder to find places to "fill up" but they knew it when they bought it.

Being in Louisiana, we don't have the infrastructure to support EV charging everywhere like most other states. We got the first Tesla charger last year behind the Jack in the Box LOL!!! So yeah, getting stranded down here with no place to charge is a thing unless you are taking short trips or eating at the Jack in the box.
Once again, if you get stranded, it's your own damn fault. Much like running out of gas.
I kinda disagree. You can refuel with gasoline in 13 minutes. Can't charge that fast so sometimes you may need to leave before a full charge is achieved.
And you can always steal gasoline.

I don't think it's ever taken me more then 5 mintues to refuel from dead empty.I kinda disagree. You can refuel with gasoline in 13 minutes. Can't charge that fast so sometimes you may need to leave before a full charge is achieved.

I dont think it is getting stranded without a charge, although I do recall several winter storms this last year where ppl were stranded because they were stuck in traffic for hours and they ran out of juice, cant really plan for that. I think it is more of the hassle of having to disconnect a trailer somewhere to charge every 100 or so miles you get with a full EV where in this you can just pull up to a gas station, fill up and keep going.

That's just an A-Hole!!
Like an *******.. instead of dropping the trailer in another spot and disconnecting.

Plus, if you did run out of gas it won't require a tow, just a can of gas.I kinda disagree. You can refuel with gasoline in 13 minutes. Can't charge that fast so sometimes you may need to leave before a full charge is achieved.

Hasn’t someone figured out how to pour a can of electricity yet?
It's called a generator.
