However, it's hard to dislike anything about it other than that. The MPG is impressive. The flatbed is nice. The built in ramp is nice.

You can also get the retractable bed cover fitted with solar panel slots which gives you the ability to recharge on the go. It picks up speed relatively fast.

Has plenty of power. Plenty of room inside. It's different. He achieved his goal in literally standing out. Would I buy it? No. But that's because I wouldn't buy anything nowhere near $40,000.

Can't afford it. But also not a fan of buying something brand spanking new that has nothing but depreciated value the moment you pull off the assembly line or parking lot with it.

If this is still a 'thing' 10 years from now and I am barely in my 40's and the price is closer to $20,000? I'd buy it. Especially the matte black design.

Vehicles no doubt depreciate when purchased brand new however both Tesla's and pickup trucks in general hold their value very well. I just recently was in the market for a new truck, I had every intention of going used but ended up buying new because of how expensive the used trucks were. I have always shared that same thought as you and never thought that I would purchase a brand new vehicle. I basically would of saved less than 10k buying a used truck 2-3 years old with under 50k miles, more value in the new truck IMO.
