        You know that “men only want one thing and it’s fucking disgusting” meme?

        For me it’s an electric Toyota Hilux. And not a new one, unless it’s one of the originals that’s been sealed away for decades.

          Can’t you just beam it out of storage, O’Brien?

            Look, the temporal prime directive means I shouldn’t even be talking to you.

            But if I had my ship you bet your arse.

          I’d be down to build that if I could source the truck in no holes condition and batteries that wouldn’t bankrupt me.

          EV or (bio)diesel plug in hybrid Chevy C10. Battery can cover most of my use cases, but every now and then, I need to do a long haul.

      the ones ive seen are either hobbyist janky or crazy expensive. im surprised this isnt a bigger thing already, but i dont want to pay > $30K to end up with 100 mile range and zero reliability assurance.

        I’ve been following Edison Motors and they look the most promising for pickup trucks. You can get the electric Mustang motor as a new crate engine if you don’t want to pull a Tesla rear end from a totaled car.

          Ooh, I’ll have to remember them in the unlikely event that I ever have money. I want nothing more than a 80s F150 retrofit to be all electric.
