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

What I would love to see for a pickup like this is a rentable battery slab you could drop into the bed and temporarily boost the mileage for longer trips.

Wait. Why the hell wouldn't you paint it? Does it at least have a clear coat?

From caranddriver with no sign-in requirement.

Apart from its digital gauge cluster that also serves as the rearview camera display, power locks, cruise control, and a forward-collision-warning system with automated emergency braking, the Truck offers little in the way of luxuries.

Sounds nice. I do like highway lane following, but not essential.

Frugal design. I love it.

Reserved

I am really excited for this as a DIYer and Maker

Can't wait for the 3D printed mods.

Aftermarket stereo market here I come, haven't had to buy one of those in a long time.

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

[–] peterg75@discuss.online 4 points 2 days ago

Shut up and take my money!!!

I want one. The ONLY thing that would stop me is the rear-wheel drive. We get a lot of snow and rear-wheel and snow are not compatible.

I don't even want a truck or an electric car (at this point), but I would love to own this.

[–] halferect@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Now make it a panel van and I'll be interested

No stereo is the only thing I would change

Aight but does it have cruise control? If so it's still too much. But they're almost there.

The msrp of this truck is $28000. For having nothing in it that is absurd. Not to mention the rebates put it at 20k but you still have to pay upfront which deters most people from getting. Overall shit truck, shit design, shit price.
