They seem to be getting close. I think they have all the funding they need now, they’re planning to start production around the end of the year. I think they’re starting to make their first production-intent parts and are validating performance, hopefully soon we’ll see some crash test results. My biggest concern at the moment is what happens when you hit a pothole at 70+ mph since the motors are in the wheels
They are already certified road-worthy for Canada. So they have passed all their safety requirements for Canada. This would indicate they could also pass US road-worthiness testing too. But the cost would be too much for them at this point in time. If they catch on, it should take little beyond paying for the certifications to sell in the US.

The renders on their website look insane. Hyper efficient sure, let’s see how well it does in a rollover.
Aging Wheels got to test drive one around for a bit if you want to see.
Canada has already certified Edison trucks to be road-worthy. They just need to start building them now.
