Canoo has a new pickup coming on their skateboard chassis. Pretty cool overlanding option.

Modern Cab over....or modern Uni?! I think it's neat! I like strange things though!

Interesting.

The design engineer apparently skipped aerodynamic’s day in college

I like it as an overland rig.

Love it, very cool.

Better than other renderings I've seen - but that's all it is. Let me know when they start production. Till then it's just as viable as Faraday Future and Lucid.

EDIT: AND I don't own it? Subscription based model. GTFO.

Vaporware.

I know electric vehicles don't need hoods but crash standards do. I think they would be better serviced with a small frunk.

I think the overlanding render shows some potential, but I read somewhere that the range is currently only like ~200 miles.

Considering you need to be able to drive to the overlanding area, drive around more while overlanding, potentially power lights at night and/or other gear, then drive home - all with limited (if any) battery charging infrastructure nearby - the battery/range seems like a deal breaker at present.

It's not horrible. If I squint I can sort of see it as vaguely shaped like the VW bus. Vaguely. But I sure wouldn't want to see the price on replacing a cracked windshield.

I looked at and thought it was very interesting. Can't say I like it or dislike it...............

So will the team that takes it to Mars. Bonus - the onboard “head” will be the perfect place to gather the fertilizer for the potato farm.

I kid a little hard because I grew up in one of these from Toyota. More than one brother laid the middle seats down horizontally as we got older. Country boys sing about pickup trucks. I had this.
