    1. @daisystantonAug 2023· in “The end of cool small cars”

      Ughhhhh -- yes, I constantly dream of a pickup truck on a car-size chassis, and often mentally hack off the back of cars on my jogs to imagine what they'd look like as trucks (my version of imagining girls naked ;-)) * The Auzzies had an old version of this: [LINK] * There's an awesome Tesla pickup truck mod that I'd buy long before the Cybertruck: this video

    2. @lsllcNov 2023· in “Canoo's rugged new 'American Bulldog' electric pickup truck”

      No, but it's nice to see more entrants to the EV truck space. So now we have: * Ford F-150 Lightning * Tesla Cybertruck * Rivian R1T * Canoo American Bulldog Of course honorable mention to Simone Giertz's Truckla: this video

    3. @bellyfullofbacDec 2021· in “Homebuilt pickups: How underage teens skirt the law to drive in Sweden (2016)”

      Suddenly the Truckla (Tesla pickup) makes more sense: this video - the inventor is a Swede living in the US.
