I mean, if they are gonna get rid of it, I will take one for free. Free EV is a free EV if it breaks down 5 days later then I am in the same situation I was before getting the truck.

Just use it for the batteries and parts

Battery would be grand for a household solar install. Seats would be nice on the porch. The frunk can hold a lot of chicken feed, and the cabin would make a fine henhouse for a small flock.

Except it still cost you money. It still needs to be registered, titled, and plated. This means you will be in the negative after only having it for 5 days.

I know it will never happen, but I would find in genuinely hilarious.
