You know, I really don’t hate the idea of buying a car without a finish and then getting a custom job after the fact. If there’s a silver lining on the Cybertruck debacle, its the steel frame that you can do up however you like.
But holy fuck is that thing not the most “My 4-year-old’s favorite Hotwheels” ass chassis design. An absolute embarrassment of automotive engineering.

You could do that with any car. Like, one that actually works.

I mean, I’d like to see you put a mirror finish on an off-the-lot Honda Civic.
But yes, the truck part of the truck is garbage.

You nobody sells cars with bare metal body work.
Would be a cool look though, with just clear coat to keep it nice.

Not to be a nerd but the frame is cast aluminum, they just glue bits on top

You should look into the Slate electric trucks.
Small electric trucks/SUVs that are intended to be very cheap and barebones stock, but also very modular and very upgradeable, so you add the features you want. Including it being pretty much a given that you’re going to wrap it in the colors of your choice.
They’re not on the market yet, but I have high hopes.

From what I’ve heard, Amazon is a major investor, but not the majority owner.
I may not have heard the full story, though.

No, that’s accurate.
