For years, people have been asking for a barebones truck that doesn't cost a gazillion dollars so the average person can afford it.

Can I recommend this truck? No. Do I know if it's a good investment? No. Will this EV company go belly up in 5 years? No idea.

Still waiting for an answer on why I can't buy that $10,000 Toyota truck!!
