Canoo Truck/Van

if they can actually build it and make it affordable (stay at $35k), then i think there is a market for it. most people can't afford a Rivian, Tesla or many of the EVs being offered right now.

I'm guessing they can't.

Even Tesla couldn't make a $35k Model 3 work, despite economies of scale, the ability to amortize R&D and overhead over a much larger number of units, and additional higher-margin models to carry the load.

Well said

I think they’ll get people to pay more through the various options/modules(?)/configurations. It might end up costing more but on the ither hand, that might also allow people to upgrade incrementally?

Yea I'd love to see them succeed but I'm not holding my breath. I have preorders for both as well and looks is very subjective. I personally like the unique look vs the same thing everyone else has been rehashing for decades.

I pre-ordered the truck hoping they can pull it off. The modular concept (if I understood their design correctly ) sounds like the vehicle can be very functional. As far as cost, a few hundreds here and there can quickly add up. As far as being plug and play modules, and parts, and accessories (if that’s what it is and can really be implemented reliably), it looks good on paper but will be a challenge. I hope it can be done. Sounds fun and utility.

Based on Tesla last numbers... they can make a $35k M3 work... they would just rather make more money.

It's very utilitarian. I think the truck would be great for lugging around my mountain bikes or even a portable jobsite or pop-up Espresso stand.

I have an early deposit on both. I love the pickup concept the best.

You can clearly see the design inspiration. It‘s a 21st century take of a 1960s air-cooled VW pickup truck.

The van seats, especially the 2 outboard one have barely any "ass" comfort. And I am not very sure about sitting with your back stuck firm to the door, a side hit and the vehicle won't be the only thing that needs bolts and rods to fix. But I like the idea.

Love the van, but like RICH REBUILDS says, 2039---I have a reserve on one, but I think I'll get the Ford Transit before....I really dig the CANOO, and really really hope they can get up and running, would be awsome for US car manufacturing to bounce back!

well, the fire breathing BOLT is a good alternative...

Speaking of fire breathing Bolts here's one that torched in my parking garage this week.
