Tesla’s troubled electric pickup is illegal in Europe, yet somehow a barely modified model has found a way to get licensed. A group of European transport organizations claim this ride could spell disaster.

    Yeah… that was a bummer. I don’t think cybertruck and its mountain of failures is helping the case for “macho” evs

      Not sure what qualities a car has to make it macho, but I saw a Fiskar Ocean the other day on the road in matte forrest green, and thought it was pretty sexy. I don’t know their pitfalls yet, but it was enough to make me look them up. Not a fan of the giant screen in the middle, but maybe it would grow on me.

      Edit: and they might be declaring bankruptcy and selling off their assets… Welp that sucks

        Yeah they are pretty sweet in person. The prices are dropping fast, I’m seeing them for $15k. Even with some potential repair costs and having to figure it out myself (since there’s no warranty) that’s a pretty amazing deal.

      I was hoping to get a used one in a few years to use on the farm. The range and load capacity would be well within most errands. I’m now eyeing an Edison Motor’s kit for an old square body.
