I believe the Truck companies think people just want larger and larger trucks every year. I'm waiting until everyone is just driving monster trucks at this point lol

I drive a truck, a full size one at that, I care about the environment but I needed it for work. An electric truck would've been useful. Also if they were selling for $50k I sure didn't see that anywhere.

What I wanted was a nice little ranger style truck - 2 seater, can pick up some lumber, decent sized bed, for in my garage.

The Telo truck looks like it has promise, but it's far from mass production. I hope it lives up to its promises though, I would love to see small trucks make a comeback.

I think that's what we all want. Id be front of line for what you described too.

I'm really paying close attention to those Telo Trucks, but they are a long way from market (if they make it, we've been here before, so many times now).

This is a common argument, but the vast majority of people at home do not carry gravel or sand on a weekly basis. What they need is a rental truck for those items. The cost of 100k is ludicrous. Comparing to a rental truck you would need to be carrying raw material like that on average 2x a week to even break even with the payments.

For that you use a $1500 trailer. The bizarre justifications for pickups are hilarious.
