Before slamming this post as not Maverick related - kindly note that it's in the "non-Maverick" forum.

A year ago, I was kind of dubious that Canoo would survive and deliver product. But they keep surprising me in a positive way. They're delivering vehicles now to fleets and to my former employer, the US Army, with consumer sales in one year. And when I saw Sandy Munro react positively - well that's all I needed to become a believer.

The Canoo looks like an amazing vehicle. Two doors and a big bed. Sides that flip down. A frunk. Electric with enough range for a casual user like me. Incredible visibility, especially forward. And best of all, a total length of 184" - so it's not a bloated four door truck piglet. Modular design so you can upgrade down the road. Decide you don't want a truck? Take it in and have them bolt on a minivan "top hat" in a few hours. And the camper overlanding build looks frigging awesome.

I'm not preordering quite yet, but I'll be watching how Canoo fares in the media and business world.

I figured I'd see how they do before dropping an order. For my purposes one would be about perfect. Short trips between farms about 1 mile apart. Going into town (10-30 miles), take the Maverick.

That's impressive, even more so since Sandy seems impressed as well!

No I don't buy EV's. Wife would eat me alive with range anxiety.

I love the concept. I have always liked cab over vans for their space efficiency. I wish they didn't try to make it so futuristic looking and ugly.I no idea how they will pass modern crash test saefety regulations. Having to design everything to survive highway high speed crashes severely limits what is possible. But there are many takeways from its design that could be incorporated into other vehicle platforms going forward. All electric will likely never work for me either until there is some kind of major battery breakthrough. It just isn't practical for cold weather and living in more remote places.

Not sure how I feel about having so much glass in front of me. But I guess I can see how something like this would work well for delivery and service fleets.

Fascinating vehicle. I could see this as a perfect transport for people confined to wheelchairs. I sent the YouTube link to my brother who lost both legs due to a drunk driver. Let's be careful out there. Anyway, thanks for the information. I doubt I would have run into this without your post. Much appreciated.
