    Edison Motors, while a great idea, is aimed at the heavy duty and off-road commercial space. Even they admit that their semi doesn’t really make sense for over the road trucks. There is little to no gain in it. Same with work pickups. But for some, think heavy duty off road repair vehicles, it can make sense.

    I’m pulling for them though. I hope they make it big if for no other reason than to push the right to repair with common parts be the norm again.

      The pickup truck conversion is what I was focused on. I personally have a use case for those and I simply can’t see a use case for the Cybertruck.
