I mean, if they are gonna get rid of it, I will take one for free. Free EV is a free EV if it breaks down 5 days later then I am in the same situation I was before getting the truck.
Except it still cost you money. It still needs to be registered, titled, and plated. This means you will be in the negative after only having it for 5 days.
also the ~$5000 (?) clear coat... lol i bet those are all getting rusty in whatever lot they're stored in.
Just use it for the batteries and parts
Battery would be grand for a household solar install. Seats would be nice on the porch. The frunk can hold a lot of chicken feed, and the cabin would make a fine henhouse for a small flock.
This is the only situation I would support some backwoods jackass converting something to diesel and "rolling coal" in it.
I know it will never happen, but I would find in genuinely hilarious.
