$10,000 to go from rwd to awd. $70,000 for the 500 mile range(not towing) model. Someone needs to explain how they think the under 25 crowd is going to gobble these up.

No one would bother to explain it to you. They just do with 250,000 pre-orders to-date.

So you can't. Ok

As Famous late great CEO of Chrysco used to say:

If you can find better car,buy it"

Dwell on that for a while :D

If the ecoturkeys want to sell me on full electric, this isn't helping.
For now, I'll still stick with the 3 R's. Reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Hmm Id think electric truck w stainless steel body would last much longer then your Ram w Cummins and be way cheaper to run too.

Is that a joke or what ? 99% of pickup owners never do that.

Guess I'm in the 1%. If I didn't need a truck I wouldn't own one.

Did anybody else hear the reveal trucks were body on frame concepts? Automobile magazine reported it apparently. I guess the Cyberquad is a Yamaha Raptor 700 with a emotor and new plastics.
Sounds like a lot of work still to do.

It is a frunk. There are a couple pictures floating around but I haven’t seen them.

My friend is at 50%. He owns a contracting company and he got a bang up one with all the tools thrown into the bed and another too shiny to be a work truck.

I don't know if that bed would hold my 210cm slalom or 215cm crosscountry skis. I don't always want to use my 165cm shorties.
