True, the ones in market & the one in shows are somewhat different. Most in shows are test models!

Calrson Fan Jeff - Agree with what you said. I think currently an EV pick-up could work in a commercial/fleet application. As someone on this site stated, w/current tech. battery vehicles just do not scale well. EBFlex - No one wanted to hate the Cyber Truck more than me but I can't ignore all the new technology and innovative thinking that went into it. There is a lot I like about it. GM, Ford & Ram should incorporate some it's design cues into their ICE trucks.
Michael S6 Very confusing if the move is permanent or temporary.
Jrhurren Worked in Detroit 18 years, live 20 minutes away. Ren Cen is a gem, but a very terrible design inside. I’m surprised GM stuck it out as long as they did there.
Carson D I thought that this was going to be a comparison of BFGoodrich's different truck tires.
Tassos Jong-iL North Korea is saving pokemon cards and amibos to buy GM in 10 years, we hope.
