A $20k American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, no screen

this is cool but does it meet strong safety standards?

"strong safety standards" are what got us to the point of 5000lb pickup trucks and A-pillars that are so wide they arguably kill more people (predominantly pedestrians & cyclists) than their constituent airbags save.

It is cartoon villain tier to compromise the visual range of the driver at the safety expense of everyone outside the vehicle, who is not shielded by 2 tons of mass.

Much of what is wrong with automobiles is a severe inability to think in higher order terms.
