  • Just that - I live in a rural area, and have a (technically) unmaintained drive way. I wanted something that would cope with that more easily, but also was good for the occasional tow/truck bed type thing.

    And I also wanted something electric. Most trucks are majorly overpowered and polluting, mainly to generate torque. This is precisely what electric motors are good at.

    In retrospect, charging would have been a problem, and I now drive a Subaru that I am happy with - sadly, it’s gasoline because Subaru Canada don’t think there’s a market for their PHEV…


  • Like many I preregistered. I liked that it was electric,. I liked that it was eclectic looking, though I was sure it would become more like a regular truck after a while.

    Perception changed with time.

    Firstly, that was the final design, but I could live with that. Then, there were the early failures - the “unbreakable” windows and the fact it is utterly shit at being a truck. The fact that it rusts at the drop of a hat. All of these made me rethink my decision.

    And that Elon turned out to be an even bigger prick than we first thought is just the icing on the cake. It means I will never own one now, and I am 100% happy with that decision.
