      See the F150 Lightning, and the EV Silverado; you can get a regular looking truck that’s electric, but it’s pricey.

      Buyers demand range, range is pretty much a function of battery size and aerodynamics, aerodynamics are not especially pleasing to our aesthetics, but they’re cheaper than batteries. For this truck it’s because they designed it from the ground up to maximize space and aerodynamics, so it looks like what it needs to look like to meet those goals. I’d love to see these trucks take over from the behemoths we have currently, but it doesn’t matter that they’re practical, truck guys need the big flashy.

      It looks like I should pick it up with my hand and push it around making “vroom vroom” noises… which it obviously won’t do, as it’s electric :)
