The first one fired right up and purred. Number 2 has frozen rear brakes. Will work on that one tomorrow.

We fired up two more of the ones I got today and no issues so far. I'm going to fire up some more of them tomorrow once I check over the fluids. One of ours has frozen rear brakes too but they have been sitting awhile.

Ryan, truck number 2 is just as good as truck number 1. The warm weather today thawed out the frozen rear brakes. I believe the truck had been sitting with the emergency brake on and seized/froze. Feed it up today and the truck runs like a champ. Both trucks seem to have relatively new tires. The SKU stickers are still on the tires. I checked all lights, horn, working componenets. Brakes look good from what I can see. I think they will both certify without any issues. I got lucky! Only thing missing is the passenger seat and one door to the battery storage area. Ryan, how many did you buy? Im going to get a couple more for parts.

I forgot to mention, I went to the MTO to transfer the LSVW into my name and ran into problems. The letter I got from the DND listed the vehicle as having a gross weight of 44,000 kilos! That put a kaibosh on everything. I have to get new letters with the proper vehicle weight on them. If you bought one check your letter!

From the ad:

and 500 miles of range!

I'll assume that is referring to the expected kilometerage before you will have to repair it to keep going further.

Already hit local Kijiji at $7500 a pop.
Obviously looking to hook a non hobbyist...

I picked up 10 of them. Only one doesn't have functioning brakes. Except a seized emergency brake cable on one, they all seem to work fine.
