Believe it when you see it. The founder, Trevor Milton, was convicted of fraud when they showed a video of a “working prototype” when what they actually did was just roll a model down an incline. They said they’d deliver 300 trucks in 2022, only 111 have seen the light of day.

Yank drivers will love 'em I tell ya. Like going back to the old days, climbing up into them then scrambling over the dog house to get in the sleeper instead of walking in like we’re used to in a ‘hood’. What they won’t like is if it has only a 500 mile range, with most drivers being paid by the mile they’d be losing 100 plus miles a day.
As Scotty used to say on Star Trek all of those years ago. “Ye canna argue with the laws of physics Captin”. An electric truck is going to need such a weight of cells that it wont be economical.
An American youtuber recorded his thoughts at a ride-and-drive event, and then a couple of weeks later after time for reflection. He runs about 35 in upstate New York a mixture of flats and walking floors, the flats are own account for the family stone business and pretty local, the walking floors go a bit further and are hire and reward. Interesting.
