The best daily transportation isn't a car/truck at all, but there is still some need for freight/hauling to be done.
I'm posting because this truck feels like the opposite of modern trucks. I mean the CyberTruck (literally the icon of Cyberpunk dystopia) and other trucks like Rivian are:
- extremely anti-right to repair
- brag about their 0-60 (instead of practicality/efficiency)
- a privacy nightmare
- massive in size
- have high prices across the board
- are absolutely crammed with manadory luxury features like air conditioned seats or motorized trunks
This truck, with manual roll-up windows, seems to be about getting work done. Its not trying to be the biggest baddest fastest most-techo-advanced thing money can buy.
I bet, in less than 1 year, hobbyists will have solar panel array mounted on the back of these.
Not a car person (or a car owner) but this is an exciting project. I really wonder why they still have a "frunk" though. Why not go with something closer to a kei truck with the cab over the front wheels and allow a shorter wheelbase or a larger bed?
Probably for crumple zones for crash safety.
