I would make this my 80 mile round trip vehicle to work 5 days a week in a heartbeat!

Give me a six foot bed and enough towing power to haul 20 piece of sheetrock and a truck full of lumber and I'm in.

That’s a 5k truck off alibaba.


Can you send me a link to where I can buy a truck like this for $5k?

Has the resemblance of a mid 70’s J10

For 75k no shite nobody wanted it


Hell, I'm not sure they had many on the lot they would have taken $75k for - a bunch were 6-figures with TTL.

I’m all for more small truck options. An actual cheap electric trucklet for Home Depot runs could be a game changer. I’ll reserve judgement until I see the concept rather than a factory mule driving around.

Looks better than Elon's God-awful Cybertruck.

Hell, make it 4x4 for another 5k and you have a cheaper Polaris EV that you could “legally” drive to town in. Plus it would be roughly the same price as a used jeep wrangler.

Question: if the top of the cab were a solar panel, how much charge would it pick up on a typical Louisiana day?

Best case - 8 mile of range in a full sunny day.

Let’s say you could get a 200W panel on that tiny roof.

10 hrs of perfect sunshine will get you 2 kWh. In good driving conditions, that little truck could probably get 4 miles per kWh.

So, basically not worth it.
Just curious.

Definitely not worth it. Heinrich Fisker has been obsessed with putting solar on the roof of his cars. He did it recently with the Fisker Ocean. It adds a bunch of cost for very little real return.

It does add some appeal to buyers who want to believe that they’ll be 100% solar.

More crappy electric vehicles, great. Too bad we don’t have the infrastructure to charge them all.
