Profile and specs are pretty great. Headlights are stupid and hideous. Why?

Starting $69K for the 230mi version.

Start up company, this truck will spend more time in the shop than on the road.

Looks like the old Explorer sports trac in a way. Sleeked up a bit.

If I could afford it, he’ll yes. I’d be burning rubber at every takeoff!

You would until the battery pack catches fire. Then you'd be burning.

I'm very likely/possibly going to put a deposit on the SUV. I just have major concerns about any new vehicle/company and getting the 1st edition. I'm sure there will be tons of issues. May be smarter to hold out and buy one after they're on the road and sustainable for 3 or so years.

But they look sooooooooo good.

Yes.

ETA: The SUV version looks better. I no longer need a pickup.

It isn't as much about how much torque they produce for runs from zero it is the fact they produce so much torque from zero RPM.

Still looks better than the Honda Ridgeline.

I don't think I'd drive that, but I do believe I just bought my last ICE vehicle ever (aside from unforseen circumstances).

Feels weird man.
