Nice but it's missing the rear seat which most truck buyers these days always opt for the crew cab--not 2 seats which is like having a sports car and you can't put the kids in the front seat!

I dunno why these electric car makers have to make electrics look so "soft" and "eco-friendly" and "prius-ie". I don't know the word, but, why not make a truck look like a nice truck. This thing is zany-future type, not realistic.. Few would buy this thing, and it won't replace. It's just novelty. I'm a HUGE fan of electric. but, the designs, other than Tesla, are bad. Look at Chevy, or BMW, they also have goofly looking things.

George - it's quite simple. Aerodynamics. Drag on a vehicles increases exponentially with speed, not in a linear fashion. Aerodynamic drag can easily make the difference between a 200 mile range and a 100 mile range. The more aerodynamic (Prius-y) the vehicle, the greater the range. For example, adding my Thule aero bars to my LEAF reduces range by around 20% - UNLOADED. Little things add up quickly.

A regular pickup or van has a 4 x 8 bed for a reason. Anything else is "sport" but not "utility".

Douglas Bennett Rogers - an normal truck's bed is 6 ft, a long box is 8 ft.
I agree with George. I would rather the truck take a range hit and look good, then have an extra 50 miles of range while looking dumb.

Pretty ugly alright. If a vehicle is going to be a utility vehicle why not have them look somewhat like a military vehicle?

Since there's no engine in front what are they doing with all the space that used to take up? Couldn't they make that the new trunk?

I can't wait for an electric full size SUV that can tow my (electric) ski boat for hundreds of miles on a charge and recharges in 5 minutes. Until then I have to settle for my gas hogging Expedition, which is a great truck, but just feels so outdated these days...

I dont see this being anything except some kind of status symbol. I come from family that wants working trucks to haul kids and heavy stuff around. In short this is not a real truck.

WTF are people talking about? This truck looks better than 95% of trucks out there, if not 99%. Besides, trucks are not about looks but about work. I guess most pretenders like to drive big ol trucks to feel more secure. But they need to get over the acceleration figures for trucks. They are not made to race, but to move heavy loads. It needs a double-cab for sure. I hope they make it to production. The day of 100 mpge pick ups and SUVs are finally arriving.
