Can't think of a single US automaker I'd buy from and I doubt that would change within 10 years.
There is one, Slate. They are offering a small electric truck that lets you fully customize it. There is also no tracking built in at all, which no other manufacturer can say right now.
Truck seems the least efficient form for a electric vehicle, who's this car for, the kind of losers who'd want a truck purely for the aesthetics think electric vehicles are gay
I agree, trucks aren't the ideal form, for me or most drivers. However, they are the form that is probably the most versatile. A van, even a minivan, can carry just about as much cargo (with the advantage of being internal), but a truck can even extend beyond its bed. It's also the most sold vehicle type. If you're only going to make one vehicle, a truck is probably the ideal one. I hope they make others, but they're likely trying to keep costs down until they have some product out.
