Now I’ve seen everything. Wish I was quick enough to grab a photo of the Brand New, Full-size truck. It looked like a Rivian.
I can’t see anyway that that scenario pencils out as profitable, especially in Seattle.

Was it Ben and Jerry's? 

Ahhh, I saw one...nice to know it made it out west.




Debut: First launched at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas.

There are some based on Chevy Brightdrops. Here's one that is based in Tacoma:

This one is even closer; I met him at a local gathering and got some great ice cream. It's the one on the left; he was still finishing the conversion and hadn't put his marketing wrap on yet. (My van is just to the right of his. The dark one further on is a plumber, and the last one on the right is a van being DIY converted to a camper).

This one is from Norwich CT:

Someone converted this one, then put it up for sale before deploying it:

On the Brightdrop forums, there are several other members that are in the process of converting vans to ice cream trucks, or are looking for a van to convert. Of course there's plenty of food trucks too.

The Dippy's  truck was the one I saw. 

Some quick research estimates the sticker price for this truck at $60-90K, and annual operating costs $8-$10K less than a comparably equipped ICEx2 Cream Truck :-0

We shall demand Tesla to drop the price. How much did Tesla compensate Elon Musk? Average consumers shouldn’t be paying for this outrageous compensation for one person!
