Bye-bye, Cyborg truck! This thing looks quite sensible. Not for me, but for a lot of folks. It does need more range, but with the dramatic improvements in battery tech, it should get there in 5-10 years.
I read elsewhere that it is so bare bones that it has no entertainment system and other such features. It said that if you wanted to play tunes, you'd have to bring your phone and a Bluetooth speaker. I like vehicles without too many bells & whistles, but I sure do like Apple CarPlay (or Android Auto) and consider it essential.
