That's 25-27k for a new electric truck, that's not bad.

Damn, an electric truck I might actually want. It's a shame it's made in America

This will never come to market. Perhaps in a different timeline, but not this one.

[–] demunted@lemmy.ml 21 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Agree. Elon... Err Doge will change regulatory rules until they run out of money.

Is it a networked surveillance nightmare?

[–] Rhusta@midwest.social 7 points 3 days ago

It doesn't seem to come with any gadgets. No touch screen, not even a radio. It's possible that it still broadcasts location data and it's possible they could hide a mic to record audio as well. But it isn't connecting to your phone with Bluetooth, it can't exploit the Bluetooth connection to scrub your messages and socials. So it's a LOT better than most new cars.

No stereo is fine if it has ports for me to just buy my own car stereo kit and add it afterwards. I don't see the point of no paint, like don't you need it to protect the metal from the environment

No stereo is a bit spartan, but definitely a move in the right direction regardless. I want one.

I'd be surprised if people couldn't put in a simple and cheap aftermarket deck and a couple speakers, which would only be around a couple hundo. If these things are easy to work on so you can install it yourself, even better.

There is also the Telo Truck. It's advertised as being as capable as a Toyota Tacoma, but the footprint of a Mini Cooper.

It's asthetic is more akin to the small trucks in Japan, though.

Edit: it does seem like it has more tech-forward features, but it is otherwise a relatively simple truck in a very manageable size.

Perfect except for it being a truck. Why is North America allergic to small cars?

[–] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Trucks are incredibly useful?

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Sure but not every single person needs a truck? My comment isn’t even intending to hate on trucks, I literally just want a small car that’s electric. I don’t drive often and I want something that’s electric but doesn’t take up much space

Definitely interested…

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 16 points 3 days ago

Please make a 4x4 model I will definitely buy one.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 days ago

This is like the electric version of the bare-bones Toyota ICE pickup

You know, I like the design. If I can take a wrench to it and customise it or repair broken stuff easily and for cheap, even better.

The range is kinda meh, but for working in remote sites, bringing a diesel generator is already par for the course, and that bed looks like it fits a lot of stuff.

No stereo sucks though.

Hell yes, take my money. As long as it's not a limit and manages to keep its range and I can get parts fuck yes
