Want to see something strange but interesting, check out the Telos Truck. Can fit an 8 foot by 4ft piece of plywood in the back, has 4 doors, and is the length of a mini Cooper lol. The look is strange, but at least it shows companies trying to shake up what people think of as utility

Holy shit, I have a new electric truck to keep an eye out for! That thing is perfect!

Yeah, I wouldn't need more than 250 miles, the upgrade would just add extra weight I don't need. Also 30 minutes charging is fine.

If I drive 100 miles, I am perfectly fine sitting down for an hour and having a meal.

Cool concept, but ugly. They should have just copied the VW design

Yeah it looks better with the back covered, or I think it might look better without the back doors as well. One key difference there though is the microbus is 2 feet longer. I don't need to go 0-60 in 4 seconds, seems a bit much for any vehicle, but that's nice for some people lol
