I am excited, this is what my husband and I have been waiting for - a regular vehicle with no bells and whistles just to raise the price
- Fun fact, this isn’t $20K but that’s what it takes to get people, to share the article. The actual arrival says that it’s $20K after government rebates in the US. So it’s actually expensive without tax dollars.
  
  I wonder how much petrol/diesel would cost if the government didn’t subsidise it. And if they were actually held liable for oil spills.
  
  I'm at least glad it's not yet another bigger truck. I just want a vehicle to get from A to B that can actually fit things in the bed
- Yup! And hopefully starts a new thing that other makers get behind!
