finally a utilitarian work vehicle without bs. shame it's electric.

Off road 200 miles of range will turn into 10 miles.

>>17616079
Tesla would probably do this too if there were an actual market for it

Almost got me OP.

It looks like an old Ford Bronco and Land Rover Defender mashed up together inside a box.

Frick, if it hits production I'll buy one.

Thing looks great, hopefully it doesn't suck.

>>17616362
You better come up with $135,000.

>>17616079
I like it.
I'd love it if it wasn't electric.

>>17616079
I'm guessing this costs some serious money.
They're probably charging extra for the cost cutting "utilitarianism" and "minimalism"

>>17616398
No, they said they want this car to be more affordable than most cars, and that they want it to be non exclusive

So probably ~20k


The lack of electronics/safety tech probably lowers down the cost from a traditionaly designed ICE

>>17616424
That's what they said about the Dodge Viper.

Just look at that milled aluminum frame. Has $100k+ looks.

I like it tho. Very nice suspension, this will be one fun toy for rich people, fast both on and off road.

Can't wait to see the kardashians drive them

that's the dumbest shit I've ever heard. people will definitely buy it.

Good to see another EV without the Silicon Valley "saving the world" pretensions

>>17616398
if it doesnt have a backup camera and 5 billion airbags it will literally be illegal to sell in the US

>>17616079

I can see it working well for park rangers, ranch workers or shit like this where you drive around rough terrain but always come around to a charging base.

If it's priced as a fleet vehicle, that is

Looks really good.

Looks like it would be popular in Norway.

10/10 would purchase and swap in a 6.2 Boss

>>17616506
That frame is a nice weldment, not milled, and the simple design actually makes crash repairs feasible for high end diy/modders. Of course it would be an insurance total like everything else if hit hard, but that's not a consideration.

Full torque at zero RPM could make for a very impressive crawl ratio.

>>17617157
You're using more fuel because you're having to use lower gear and actually having to climb shit.

>>17616124
Its a niche market, but it does exist, you know those hipster faggots that dress up like a lumberjacks (and they're okay). Well guess who the dumb asses are who would be buying this shit?

>>17619685
So you're in the middle of nowhere, the battery craps out, what do you do?

>>17619685

electric off roader? no normie fisher price interior bullshit? simple and light to make use of off-road aptitude of electric?

me likey

>>17620323
Use a generator. You're not going to be using much battery juice when rock crawling

>>17620293
Are you a retard? Full torque at 0 rpm and it'll only use power when moving and not idling. And it can recover some energy when going downhill

>>17616093

fuuuuuck, i hate electric cars but this shit is what i've been asking for for years.

Hope the build quality on the production cars is good. Seems like it'll be rattly and have terrible road noise.

>>17616079
Man, if this is as cheap as the looks would imply, this would be a great offroad EV, the minimalism should keep normies away from which means that it shouldn't get s shitton of extra crap and become a glorified mall crawler, and the design looks like it should be pretty much modular which should be cool, this could be the return of the 2-door SUV that ORG has been searching for.

According to

it's 60k. Not sure how accurate that is.

If its going to be ~35k-20k I'll definitely cop,
perfect for cruising and hauling shit around my ranch.

>>17617157
You don't understand how electric motors work they use more power when torque is required its why they let the smoke out when you overload them.

>>17616392
>vehicle only useful for like, a rancher or farmer
>135k

fuck it, guess ill buy another platinum f250

>>17616079
That's actually pretty cool!

>>17620543
Have you never owned an RC car or, you know, studied basic electrical systems?
The more work is required from an electric motor, the more amps it draws. If you send full power to a stalled motor it'll draw enough amperage to fry itself relatively quickly. If you take this thing and drive it over severely-uneven terrain (anything involving a lot of climbing) I guaran-goddamn-tee you the battery will be flat in less than 50 miles.

>>17617533

It'll probably be low-production which means IIHS can't say shit.

Kek, might as well buy a new LX570 and spend the extra $45k on gas, it will have more range and be better off road too

Can we all just agree that electric vehicles are still in their very primitive stages, and that the technology isn't ready for widespread use. It won't be ready for at least another decade or two, based on the rate they're developing it. They don't have the range, and we don't have the infrastructure. These two things KILL the electricuck mobile.

If it carries the dominant Chrysler gene it will die before its third birthday, too.

You would think a production car would have a lot more complex electrical system than a fucking toy
