Sadly, production delays and reliability issues plaguing production units are not exactly helping with sales. Nevertheless, third-party customizations could potentially rekindle interest in the EV. One such venture — the STING — comes from Archimedes Defense. Even in its standard configuration, the donor all-electric pickup truck looks like it belongs on the battlefield. Perhaps the intimidating vibe comes from the geometric body and its wide stance. All it needs is…

Honestly, at first glance, it looks like the American luxury marque revisited a classic and carefully revamped it with contemporary cosmetic tweaks. To put it simply, the…
