Bed's not big enough. 1 Telo for me, please.

I put a deposit on a Telo. Hoping they make it

Do you have any delivery estimate? Like even to a quarter

I know it's statistically unlikely, but I really want Telo to succeed.

Meh. Slate is where it's at. The fathom with all its AI garbage and making it even more un-servicable by linking entertainment system with critical systems in one computer is going to be a nightmare. Only Ford can work on it. Then there's all the data collection with connected bullshit.

I always thought pickups were to made to carry cargo. These all look like people movers with grocery capacity.

That's what most pickups have become. Sedans for people who worry about towing a trailer they don't even own

It is true they don't make cars with enough grunt or suspension that can tow a serious camper or boat anymore. Not even what passes as an SUV has any tow capacity either.

Putting a smaller battery in as an attempt to reach a profit margin is not the right move. All EVs should be designed to be as efficient as possible but should never use that as a reason to ship a smaller battery. The Fathom should come with a 80kwh battery at minimum. Even that might be a bit small

??? In what world is the 300 mile long range pack too small? I drive for a living and thats plenty. For normal people, the 225 base is borderline excessive. Kwh < range. A 200 kwh pack in a vehicle that goes 400 miles is just more expense.

The range estimates are not what I am concerned with. The issue is supplementing a smaller battery to hit those estimates via efficiency gains alone. Especially when towing or just the winter, nothing beats pure battery capacity. I agree that big batteries are wasteful, just need a balance.

One thing we can be sure of, they'll be far more expensive than Chinese EVs.

Incredible how willing some people are to self-report that they don't care about how good the workers live

America refuse to meet market prices of other brands/countries. Hell, Kias and Hyundai are nice and cheaper than Ford, etc and they have plants here. You know what the Trump regime did? Deported 300 South Koreans. BYD won't even bother to sell to Americans. This admin did it to us.

Promising news! If I needed a pickup truck, and saw one of those with a paint-job that didn't make my eyes bleed, I might buy one!

That paint job (actually a wrap) is only to hide the shape of a pre-production car. The production version will come in normal colours only.

First time I've seen one actually peomoting the vehicle 🫣
