I wonder if Aptera will make a Ranchero/El Camino/Rampage/Rabbit-style truck?
I'll say it again, I really enjoy listening to Sandy talk about nuts and bolts and the things he's expert in.

He's a dummy when it comes to electrical things. His lack of understanding is why he's an EV purist (as is the explanation for many EV purists).

In that whole video, he didn't mention why the Ram is going to cost less. He didn't mention why it can tow more. His conclusion was that the winner between a truck that exists, and one that doesn't, is the F150 (because he's an EV purist).

The tell that EVs are a religion for him is that he said "we all know range anxiety is crap... a marketing fool came up with it".
1. 100% of EV drivers have experienced range anxiety
2. What advertisements are using range anxiety?

I vote for Sandy as Andy Rooney's replacement.

EDIT: I misunderstood because I was listening to Sandy and not watching. When he said "this is going to cost less" we assume "this" is the subject of the video; the RAM. If you watch, he points to the F150. You have to know the bare frame that is behind him is the F150, and that he's pointing to it.
