Someone needs to make something like this with an ICE engine. Kind if like how it used to be.
I think that is kind of the point. At scale, it should be possible to build electrics to sell at lower price points than ICE vehicles, all other things equal. They are simpler devices that are easier to assemble and skip entirely systems (cooling, fuel supply, for example) that have a lot of components that can fail and require labor to install.) Watch the videos on Tesla’s manufacturing techniques - it is remarkable. I think the firms that start with a clean sheet of paper, not so much from the product design, but from the manufacturing process standpoint, are going to be able to produce vehicles that will reduce the cost of cars, compared to today’s spectrum of products. This truck is not so interesting. But it illustrates that point.
