I'm watching Slate [0] with interest; they aren't following a path according to your assumptions.

Would be interesting to follow, but as of now they look to be in a startup phase still. Car companies take years to establish themselves. This one seems close though, they say they will do their first deliveries later this year.

It's almost exactly what I want out of a truck… except I'm no longer seeing non-RWD options (could've sworn there used to be a 4WD option; did I hallucinate that or are they just not showing it anymore?).

They have financial capital via Bezos, I thought?

Not denigrating them whatsoever, I would like to have one.
