There were a couple of threads in GG, this is a Fully Charged video looking at both of them https://youtu.be/QMfxJEfb4lw

It looks impressive, if big for UK roads (SUV is Range Rover size, pickup is a bit longer). 4 motors let it do a few tricks that could be handy for serious offroading, or showing off, like reverse torque across the axles so it can tank track turn on itself. Under $70k for a base 100KWh battery version, $100k for a top end 180KWh version with a 400 mile range. They both have a 320 litre front boot, the pickup has a similar volume storage area between the rear doors and the pickup bed.

Interesting.

I was impressed with the Rivian too, some real effort put into the details as well as the fundamentals.

Definitely a case of ‘watch this space’ though - see if & when it makes production and how much it actually sells for. The mythical 35k Tesla 3 springs to mind.

That 180 battery could be a tad time consuming to charge!

This looks very very good. The pick up would be the perfect vehicle for me.
