Question for this community: I currently have a 1998 toyota tacoma and, frankly, love the compact pickup form factor. I’ve been wanting to move to an electric truck for years, but am not seeing many options… am I being an idiot, hoping for a unicorn?

• Slate looks attractive, but I’m hesitant about a first gen model from a brand new company. Maybe wait a year after release?
• Telo also looks good, but same issue.
• Ford Lightning is bigger than I’d prefer.
• There are some smaller builds, like the Pickman, but not being able to get on the highway
• I’ve also thought of paying for an electric conversion of my current truck, but that’s looking like $40k just to convert an already older vehicle that’s not in great shape.

My main needs are to have a full bed, 2 seats, top speed of ~55mph, and hopefully be less than $50k. I don’t care for any other modern amenities, crank windows and dumb systems are perfect, and don’t need much range. Am I hoping for too little for too little?
