Gotcha, makes sense. Thanks for sharing, it's good to see things from outside the SV bubble.

No worries, I'm aware that there are plenty of use cases for the truck, but for the people who actually use trucks, I don't think it makes a great one. The range for towing pretty much cuts the battery to 1/3 and that's just extremely limited unless you're a commute is 30 miles or so and you have a great charger at home. It takes a lot of flexibility if you have to run to home Depot to grab some extra wood or something too if you're really worried about your range. Diesel trucks can just go forever.
