Wumm Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 To me, it looks like some horrid mashup between a Delorean and some hokey Monorail car found inside a Villain's Lair from a 1960's Bond film... which is a little ironic, as the DB5's bulletproof windshield from Goldfinger seemed a lot more effective. It's a no from me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 This will be my first EV for sure. It's going to be quite a wait though, I got in around the 200K mark, There seems to be a lot of storage for kits at model shows! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 A friend is thinking about getting one. I told him the deposit is refundable so he doesn't have much to lose. I think he did end up putting a deposit on one. There's some aspects about the truck that are appealing such as the option for three seats front and back and the various battery capacities. The styling is definitely unique. Too bad they didn't make it look more like the Land Rover from the otherwise terrible Judge Dredd movie (the Stallone one). I'm not sure about the door stop look. It might grow on me. When we built our new garage two years ago we had it wired for 240V in case we do get an electric or plug in vehicle so at least we're ready there and it's one less issue.

Ryan Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 It makes me think of the 90's Total Recall movie. I will need to upgrade the garage for it though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 For 200 grand, I hope to Hell one gets BETTER glass ! IF the one they show was the sales product................ ah........................ thanks but no thanks.................as I'm NOT an auto designer or an expert by any means what so ever, but it is the WRONG color to start with, it should have been a 'High Impact' color to grab you attention, has ugly wheels, and wheels can make or break a vehicle, and it looks like a 4 year old designed the shape...................... sorry to rain on anyone's parade or dream ride, but for me IF I were to drop 200K ( IF I had 200k to start with ) this certainly wouldn't be first on my list, and I won't even get into the un-drivability for us in the cold winters over the long mountain roads....... do they have any range yet? Naw........... I'll stay on "Greta's" naughty list and keep my new Tahoe......besides when every one gets the electric trucks there will be MORE cheap gas for my rig................... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Hehe Jeff, the pricing is from $40K-$70K. Range is claimed to be 250 to 500 miles depending on the model selected. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no stranger to truck ridicule, I have had (2) FJ Cruisers and currently own a Ridgline. The design is certainly polarizing, but I find it pretty cool. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I think you'll be safe for a while yet Jeff. Same goes for the rest of us with summer cars or what have you. We'll be the old guys sitting on porches sayin' stuff like: "In my day, we had to burn dino juice in our cars and play with carburetors" Which the grandkids will think is a big myth Carl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it only sits 5 and our next car has to be a 6 seater at least. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubertB Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Do as you wish guys. If I had 200 grand to invest in an electric car, I’d get a Porsche Taycan... And as a bonus, whilst you old farts sit three-in-a-row in your monster truck, I’ll get three hot chicks in my beautiful, environmentally-friendly, car ... They can even be Swedish, if that matters Hubert PS: besides, I am already driving an ugly electric vehicle, with two-passengers’s capacity, big tires, and a rear-loading platform ... when I go golfing 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted November 28, 2019 Administrators Share Posted November 28, 2019 I think I’ll stick to my 97 F-250 7.3L diesel. This abomination is a total NO for me.
