I heard about them a few weeks back, messed around on their site building a couple different trucks, from the one I would actually buy, to the one I'd get if I had all the money and time to go out to the middle of nowhere for a week long camping trip.
It's neat!
I've been wanting an EV since the day I got my license at 27ish. Up to then I had been cycling everywhere, and didn't really need long distance or cargo capacity beyond what I could carry in a pack and saddlebags.
Ideally I wouldn't need a car, and public transit would provide the majority of non-bike travel, but that's not the country I live in. We'd rather elect officials that dump money into fossil fuels.
Currently I need a small form electric truck with at least 2ft of ground clearance and preferably no giant nose on the front that small children can hide behind, with at least 100mi of travel on one charge and the ability to go 300mi in one day with full size charging stations.
Of course like many people, my biggest hurdle isn't finding one that I like, it's finding one that is even remotely affordable. And assuring me the used market of shitty half-dead cars that will require many thousands more in mechanic costs due to the simple fact that if something breaks on it, I can't fix it as simply as a gasoline engine vehicle.
3/4 of Americans can't even afford an EV.

And the United States government, whose nuclear launch systems for decades had a default "0000000" password on systems so old they figured nobody would know how to hack them in person anymore, and they're incompatible with the internet.
It's disturbing to me that my high school hobby of fixing and operating old computers meant I could have launched nukes.
The misfits in question: you wanna take on "The Man" but your mom says you have to be back inside by 5:30 so you can go get a pair of JNCO jeans at the mall.
It's less that we "send each other videos we know the other doesn't like" and more "when we're relaxing and watching videos, we will show each other a funny video or two but eventually neither of us really cares about the videos as much as the other but neither of us dislikes them enough to stop it because it's not about the videos it's about spending time with each other"
I don't like all the videos of "red flag vs green flag" and "AITA" posts my wife shows me.
She doesn't like the piano-comedy skits and blacksmithing videos I show her.
We both watch the videos, and discuss them after watching.
Crazy how couples work out like that!
As usual, I'm left wishing I had the money for an EV.
Yes, ideally I'd rather be able to use my bicycle and cargo trailer for shopping and public transit for work, but thats literally nonexistent.
Hell yeah. I've actually used the S10 as an example of the max size I want a truck to be. Stretch the cab forward to the unnecessary engine bay and make it a crew cab with no nose.
At this point I'd take a modern truck if it was offered, but I'd be looking to trade for something smaller immediately. Modern trucks are just too grossly oversized, and I, as an adult, often can barely see over the hood of modern trucks. And tons of trucks around here have lift kits installed, making them even less safe for pedestrians
