Ughhhhh -- yes, I constantly dream of a pickup truck on a car-size chassis, and often mentally hack off the back of cars on my jogs to imagine what they'd look like as trucks (my version of imagining girls naked ;-)) * The Auzzies had an old version of this: link * There's an awesome Tesla pickup truck mod that I'd buy long before the Cybertruck: ▶ this video
No, but it's nice to see more entrants to the EV truck space. So now we have: * Ford F-150 Lightning * Tesla Cybertruck * Rivian R1T * Canoo American Bulldog Of course honorable mention to Simone Giertz's Truckla: ▶ this video
Suddenly the Truckla (Tesla pickup) makes more sense: ▶ this video - the inventor is a Swede living in the US.
