NO! not the Telo again.... It's a golf Cart that hit a brick wall..

Are we sure a stretch limo builder didn't get hold of an electric Smart ?

Well, interesting but nowhere near enough to give up my Mav. I do like the focus on utility. Looks a bit like a Kei truck whose main disadvantage is that it can't hack the highway.
Does it meet road standards for all of the USA?

Yeah, we laugh now but in the future we're all gonna be stuck with stuff like that. I'm surprised motorcycles are still legal. I'm down to only 3 motorcycles.

Actually I like the look of the thing. But are they serious at $46 k for the AWD?

6,600 lb. tow rating with AWD! 1 min. video:

Looks funky, but makes all kinds of sense if you don't need to go very long distances

Since the company decided to highlight the ability to tow and it looks good on camera.
Out of the 350 mile range.
I wonder how far it will tow that 6,600 lb. Airstream?

A Tesla Y AWD is $42K and has 295 mile range, so this isn't outrageously expensive IMO

Take for example someone who lives in the city, only has one parking spot and needs a vehicle to do everything, it isn't a bad choice

People who live in a city often have a hard time finding a convenient charging station near where they live, especially for overnight charging. Hard to run an extension cord out the window of your 5th floor apartment.
Hybrid is a much better choice for city dwellers. JHMO.

Living in the city doesn't necessarily mean running an extension cord out the window of your apartment. Could be a small row house / townhouse with a single parking spot, or recent apartment buildings which need to have provisions for EV charging

Agree, I was just making a point that EV charging is not always convenient or practical for many city dwellers.
