    This is the factory that builds the Brightdrop delivery van that isn’t doing so hot. Evidently it cost $20,000 more than the competition from Ford, so nobody is buying them.

      I heard they were offering 15k-20k off a couple weeks ago, but it’s a dealer rebate, so it isn’t normal pricing or even accessable by the general public.

      Looked like a neat setup for a diy camper van, but it’s not a great price or range

      They’ve sold only 497 in 2023, and 1529 in 2024 (announcements are orders of magnitude higher, but they don’t announce the cancellation side.)

      It’s basically just enough to say the factory is open without producing much of anything.
