I give at least one half of one shit about 48V. It's not going to make me buy a DumpsterTruck, but I do think it's inevitable eventually and is also a good idea in general. You will have to use some sense when installing equipment, and not just splice into circuits you don't belong in... but that was really true anyway. There's few right ways and many wrong ways to make modifications and additions to automotive electrical systems.

LMK when they deliver. I hope they succeed.

Do you mean Telo? I hope so because that looks amazing. I love cab forward design. It's weird driving something where you sit super far forwards, but it is possible to get used to it. I'm very glad I got to drive a Sprinter enough to get really in tune with it (I absolutely whipped it up on the top of CA-1, including one late night passing within about two to three feet of an Elk standing in the ditch and chewing on something placidly) before driving a conventional bus, actually being in front of the front wheels is crazy. This isn't that, it looks more like a Sprinter or Promaster, which is a lot easier to get used to.

Jeep should do a FCEV.

An electric truck market should exist, but US automakers have to pay too much for batteries for there to be one here.

What would sell to people doing actual work who actually need pickups is basic trucks with big batteries that get good range while towing and can also provide power. But we can't make any EV with a big battery which isn't very expensive, and US automakers are addicted to selling products with high profit ratios.
