Designed in America, Made in America, and Buy American Compliant
If you built an electric truck company today, would you build the trucks in America? April 2025, the answer is "YES!" China or Europe? "NO!" In 2022, the situation was very different. That's when I founded what would become the world's most powerful battery-electric truck company. Advisors, investors, and partners all told me: "Let's do this in China. I'll bet BYD could get this done in 6 months." Maybe, but I don't care. We're building this huge BEV truck in America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Only one person agreed with me that this should be an American Made company. The brilliant mechanical engineer, @TheMarcManning. Marc is now the CEO of the company. And he's the CEO, because he figured out how to do it, where no one else could. You see, Marc matched the electrical design of @cybertruck - 2.5 years before it came out. Talk about great minds thinking alike. Below is our first production vehicle, on display next month at the FAA's (@FAANews) trade show in Buffalo, NY. Keep your eyes peeled @SecDuffy and @FAA_Chris
