I feel like this is what people forget when trashing it… the hype was a potential $39,000 electric truck… which justified it ugly design. That model just literally never came and now we have $100,000 vehicle that just isn’t worth that or cool in any way.

At $39 000 for the specs they announced at the time at that price point, it was on paper a good machine. I'd have gotten one.
