I reserved a $40k truck in 2019 that was supposed to be much easier to manufacture than regular cars - hence the relatively good price. No expensive paint shop, much easier line to make body panels of cold rolled steel bent into shape. Exaskeleton from a single. Industrial design, no side mirrors, no wipers. 6 passengers.
We should ask ourselvelves are the original promises still possible under a different package? And please make it road legal for Europeans with a regular driving licence.
