Hopefully they make some sort of "Signature Edition" version as a last hurrah.

The upsides were the steer by wire which once you drive it feels amazing and an exterior surface unlike painted vehicles you can choose to neglect and it doesn't matter.

The major downside was the price. I feel if they could have gotten it in the mid/low 40K range for an entry model it would have sold more units.

I still hold that if they made a cyber van with steer by wire and an exterior surface, it would have sold like hot cakes. An electric van with long range, tight turning radius, and durable kid resistant body panels? Yes please.

Yeah something that fits below the large Rivian van. Something similar to the small Nissan work vans.
