I feel like I hear so many asking for exactly this.

    Fewer than 100 of these will ever be on the road at a time, mark my words. “Finally, an affordable EV!” companies are 21st century vaporware.

      Probably, it sounds to good to be true so it probably is. I’m not sure I understand the business model and how the “Flatpacks” and options for the truck actually work. Like if I want power windows I have to open up the door panel and install then myself? That’s great for enthusiasts but, that market is so small it’s not worth catering to.

      It kind of reminds me Framework Laptops though, which actually turned out to be successful and it’s doing great.
