EV Concept Truck

I like the look a lot too. Looks pretty much like my Frontier. Very similar in looks. Almost a copy. I think Yota would sell a lot of those.

 

Not too sure what to think to about this concept.... Nissan reveals electric pickup with transparent grille | Fox News

 

Haha. Maybe the range suffers significantly when venturing north of that number?

 

Haven’t seen that Nissan body style yet…definitely like that look as well!

 

Toyota definitely the winner in this race it appears…

 

New 22 3rd gen

 

Yep. Kind of cyber truckish. For outer space.

 

Inspired by the transparent head of the Barreleye Fish?

 

KUUL, but prolly inspired by LSD/ magic mushroom mix....

 

I highly recommend you check out this video.

First thing I would do is get a rattle can and paint the grill, but D*******MMMNNNNN!! That thing is SWEET!! It's basically a 1st Gen 4Runner. I would buy that in a heartbeat.

Like I said, show me a rock or tree somewhere that you can plug your truck into to re-charge and I'll start taking interest.
Other than that, don't bother me with these "stupid things" that just don't make sense except to people that want to play on your ignorance to separate you from your money.

 

Some people buy boats, some people buy RV's, some people buy ATV's, some people buy motorcycles. None of those will replace your beloved Tundra, and none of them are meant to. Just like these electric trucks. They are cool toys that fun can be had in. Maybe the fun part just isn't for you?

 

I can save you a lot of money real quick.... Go buy a friggen RC truck and play with it in your back yard.
Lower cost, you can recharge faster and for less and you can pick it up when it trashes itself and go fix it.
PS, you can't tell me you can have more fun in an electric truck than a ICE truck.
First thing I'd do is challenge you to a tow contest then laugh after fifty miles.

 

I like to have fun on the rocks in with my 4Runners and old Tundra as much as anybody. I think it would be fun to attempt those feats with an electric buggy type thing. Those don't exist yet but with the way off-roading is getting so popular it's only a matter of time.
I would still have a V8 Tundra around to haul these toys, whether they are gas or electric. These don't replace the V8 Tundra's and are not meant to.

 

right now yes, in 5 years no. The technology is getting better and better every day. Like a lot of folks on here I would be all over an EV that allowed me to tow my 4k off-road camper and 1700 in payload (always over payload in my tundras with aftermarket suspension) and had 400+ range.

Eventually the trucks will have built in solar charging through the paint, lighter/ larger/ more efficient batteries, and be capable of the range and load necessary to be a truck.

have you ever driven an EV? If not I highly highly suggest you to drive a Tesla, then drive any number of comparable cars and sports cars- they make everything else seems so boring and plain Jane…… and slow.

 

Interesting times for those of us wanting to tow our TT with a BEV truck someday.

I know its not a truck, but you have apparently never drove a model S. That thing is waaaay fun. Flicks around with no effort and will throw your eyes in the back of your skull when you mash the accelerator.

 

Not a Hummer EV fan, but being able to pop a wheelie sounds like fun. Looks like they will not keep this feature on production models....https://electrek.co/2022/01/10/rumor-the-1000-hp-gmc-hummer-ev-popped-wheelies-in-testing/

 

2026 is going to be a difficult year for you my friend. Best stay off the main roads so you don't get too annoyed.

The US EPA and the Chinese and European markets will forever alter the American car loving dream. Sorry!

 

Remember you said this.

 

My son has a model S and they are quick on acceleration.
The damn thing drove us hands off wheel to a Warriors game 70 miles from home.
I understand that. The usage of electrical motors is well understood here. The infrastructure for them is a total joke and will be for years to come.
Electric motors have their usage but, not as power propellants for trucks.
Also, I am going to laugh and laugh when big brother starts pulling the plug on you fools when you don't get your monthly jab or pay some fee for something.
All you kids are going to learn some hard lessons.

 

What? Did you eat paint chips as a kid? I get the first statements but then you just went all anti reality. What hard lesson is your kid learning? Put the tin foil away and let’s have a good discussion. I would like to hear more about what you thought of the s. I agree, there isn’t as much infrastructure in smaller towns. The other thing is, they had to make gas stations at some point. Don’t you think this will catch up? We have the gas stations, I see them starting to add chargers. When most EVs fill up at home, wouldn’t you think that there is room for both?

 

The infrastructure he is referring to is the power grids. Look at California's scheduled (and unscheduled) power outages. Now adding thr load of daily transportation to that and it looks grim for EVs to replace ICE. They have their place, but we are a long way from being able to sustain millions of EVs.

 

This is where it went off the rails. I fully realize there isn’t infrastructure to convert every vehicle today. Just like there wasn’t gas pumps all across America when gasoline motors started coming out. I also realize during power outages, the gas pumps won’t work either…unless there is a backup. I am not going “old man yells at clouds” and ranting about big brother, shots and All of your kids this or that.

 

Man, head on over to the Qanon chat forums with this garbage

 

Religion and politics in one post? Did you read the CoC or the banned memorial thread?

 

Edited, religion not meant- Jesus was meant as in the word, not the religious figure.

 

I want the Alpha Motors Wolf electric truck. Looks like old school 'Yota.
