They couldn't deliver on a 35k mainstream sedan that would have a lot higher volume. There's no reason to think that 39k model truck will ever sell.
Also, Trucks and SUVs are where vehicle companies can currently make good margins. If you wanted to go against the grain on that, I'm not sure you picked a design that lines up with mainstream volume. |

Infinite torque, no maintenance, self-driving. Good lord that would be awesome. Someday they will, I am highly skeptical of this deal. |

On my end it needs to hold together on shit roads and be able to live in dirt. I too would be all over it. But like I said, I'm not willing to risk much on my Daily farm pickup.

I’m afraid they will go very light on the frame to increase range. No good on a work pickup. |

How else do you integrate those solar panels without making it look like ass?

There are 49k and 59k tier trucks that have multiple motors w/ more range and power. The 39k model is a single motor. I think self driving is a 7k Add on

I’d be open to it. I can run up pretty close to 250 miles in a day, but I’d be down if it can holdup. |
