Owners of the affected trucks will require replacement hardware.

    I keep forgetting how nasty they look… I’m glad I don’t have to see these on European roads. Not yet, at least.

      I doubt they’ll ever come to Europe. They don’t meet even the most basic crash safety standards. These things are designed to annihilate pedestrians, not to try to reduce harm.

      I don’t really care what they look like. If any truck actually could meet the promises these made, I’d buy the shit out of them:

      -All electric

      -Sophisticated sensor suite to improve operational safety

      -Working performance comparable to F150

      -low maintenance

      -Can be used as home power backup

      -not a Deathtrap

      -not a Killing machine

      It hits the electric points, but that’s it. It’s a bad truck. It doesn’t fulfill any of the “smart” promises. Death trap killing machines in constant recall that can’t handle rain… Let alone do work.

      The aesthetic doesn’t even make my list of complaints. It’s like the whole industry has been trying to make trucks as shitty as possible for like 30 years. Give me a '94 ranger electric conversion kit and it’s game fucking over cyber truck.

      They look like they have been on the streets for 10 years. Turns out stainless steel isn’t all that stainless.
