  Ford and GM canceled their electric delivery vans though. Perfect timing!

    American car manufacturers are terrified of having to compete with Chinese EVs, so they’re not even going to make them at all.

    Bah, we don’t need to Commiedian Hybrid nonsense, we’re MURRICA. We will just conquer Commieda and take their oil to lower prices!

  Has been on the road for years and they’re expanding to Europe next year… Nothing close to original promised specs, but there’s videos on YouTube just asking their drivers what they think, they mostly like them.

    Europe has had electric trucks from Volvo, Mercedes, MAN and Freightliner for years; forgive us if we’re not overly excited about the arrival of that ugly ass PoS…

      I didn’t defend or promote it as a good thing, I just stated a fact. Pretending like it doesn’t exist just because you don’t like it or pedo-nazi Elmo doesn’t change the fact that it does…

        Indeed, it does exist. I find it curious when neutral facts get downvoted. I find that product curious and many design decisions completely out of touch with trucker reality. It will have a hard time in Europe because of it. There are plenty of offers on the European market, that have 600-900kWh capacity, already for a while, without the weird dysfunctional design.

    You know that scene in Logan with all the autonomous trucks driving around? That’s what it’s gonna be like.
