With rebates a 20,000 truck. Who knows what it will cost when it actually comes out. But I love the concept.

Also, not a gigantic truck, and no infotainment (or even powered windows!) It'd be a manual transmission if it wasn't an EV.

An exclamation mark for lacking powered windows? Oh the humanity!

An exclamation mark because the feature is cheap and omnipresent, not because of... impact, or whatever you're reading into it.

It's surprising. An exclamation mark makes sense.

It’s one more thing I’d have to spend an afternoon fixing eventually.

Is it that much less reliable than a crank going into similar mechanisms?

And a fixed window is just dire.
