    That's exactly what it looks like, an overgrown electric car. Not talking down the Volt, but I want my truck to look like a truck.

    Besides, there's no side boxes for your tools and stuff, and how do you access the motor? Looks like there is no hood at all, so does the cab tilt like a cabover?

    I dunno..... I think it's about the ugliest, most useless excuse for a big truck that I've seen.

    Sure this plastic concept truck is lighter than a long hood kw. The drive train as a whole weighs what in comparison to a typical set up? And at what cost?

  5. Now that you mentioned cabover design. What happens when the front left fender is crushed by a noob driver backing into a spot next to you.

    Entire cab replaced?

    Partial glass panel replacement?

    And who services this truck. Petro/ TA. Ummmm

    $375,000! But free fuel for the first million miles. If you can find a place to fuel up with CNG. The owner of the company owns his own CNG wells and plans to open his own CNG fueling stations. The industry is obviously going down this road but I wont be one of the first to dip my toes in the pool. Let someone else have that pain. Whats with the narrow sleeper? And the name Nikola? Dated a girl named Nicky in the 80s, hope it's more relaible than her, but she rode well (!).
