    Actually it looks pretty good which surprises me.

    Everything Tesla seems to make is so #### ugly, glad this company made something that doesn't look like a reject tossed in the design room trash can at Dodge or Kia.

    The truck actually looks better than the original hydrogen fuel cell truck they were showing years back. These trucks remind me of Volvo cabovers. It took them a couple of years but better late than never!

    Looks sharp. Should be great to eliminate the diesel bill.

    It's lack of aerodynamics seems counterproductive to saving battery life and the subsequent environmental resources it takes to create them. The hydrogen powered version has more potential for greatness.

    I remember when natural gas trucks were all the rage. Flying J put in those pumps out back. Look how long that lasted. I feel this too shall pass. Just will take a little bit longer since they are not done taking gullible investors money. People have environmental guilt LOL.

    Oh I didn’t mean you. I hope the little guys that invest make money. Some are just so obsessed with EV’s. I just think this will fizzle out at some point. And Elon and whoever the other guys are will fly off on their spaceships counting all their money.
