The more I learn about this, the more impressed with what's gone into the design! It appears the engineers worked overtime on the details.

Drive them a lot in Saudi and the UAE....they are super nice and 50% the cost of US vehicles. My buddy has had a Chinese hybrid for almost 4 years in Saudi and has really loved it.

made. I always ask the drivers what they think of BYD and they all say they love them.

price for the entry Maverick, but the Maverick is way better. I can't go back to crank windows, ha. I think I would just get a golf cart for 8k, and put the difference into my bar tab.

I have doubts about the final price, but I hope it comes in at $25k or so.

...$22K, then $28K, so who knows?
I also hope the accessories/mods like the "SUV" bed topper won't be crazy expensive. You move the section behind the pickup seat to the back of the bed for the "SUV" version, so you're repurposing those items, not disposing of them. I love the designers/engineers put that kind of thought into it.
