I keep forgetting how nasty they look.. I'm glad I don't have to see these on European roads. Not yet, at least.
I don't really care what they look like. If any truck actually could meet the promises these made, I'd buy the shit out of them:
-All electric
-Sophisticated sensor suite to improve operational safety
-Working performance comparable to F150
-low maintenance
-Can be used as home power backup
-not a Deathtrap
-not a Killing machine
It hits the electric points, but that's it. It's a bad truck. It doesn't fulfill any of the "smart" promises. Death trap killing machines in constant recall that can't handle rain... Let alone do work.
The aesthetic doesn't even make my list of complaints. It's like the whole industry has been trying to make trucks as shitty as possible for like 30 years. Give me a '94 ranger electric conversion kit and it's game fucking over cyber truck.
How can it be a death trap when it is only found on flat beds?
