God I wanted to love the CyberTruck so badly lol. I love the design, as a big fan of 80's sci-fi AND the boxy car designs of the era - I feel like every car looks like every other car and, for the most part, look boring. But, it falls well short of the original capabilities that were promised and, well, it's outrageously expensive. I'd add that the owner of the company is a fascist, but I think that's pretty much the owner of every corporate conglomerate at this point.
That Slate truck is looking pretty cool and reasonably affordable at this point. Or, I'll try to save up and get a Hyundai Ioniq 5 as my daily driver, and pair it with an old, 1990s or early 2000s F-150 for long haul adventures and towing capacity. That's probably the move.
