This is rather unfortunate, in my opinion, since I'm pretty solidly left and I still kinda want one. I actually set aside cash for it back in 2021 because I find the over-the-top design amusing and I really do want an electric truck. Unfortunately, I got tired of waiting and I have no illusion that it will be anywhere near the $40k base price anymore. I fully expect it to be in the ballpark of what a F-150 Lightning or a Rivian costs, which is basically flirting with $100k when all is said and done.
