Range is said to be 205 mi (330 km), higher than the original estimate. This price is for the basic truck. The SUV configuration is expected to be $5000 more.

It looks very familiar but I can't place the similarity... new Land Rover Defender maybe?

It's got a lot of elements that evoke other trucks and 4x4s.

A lot of the face evokes Toyota Landcruisers. The shape of the hood is very Land Rover. The thick B pillar reminds me of a Nissan Hardbody. The Slate graphic on the tailgate reminds me of old Toyota pickups. The fastback roof reminds me a lot of the later model 2-door Chevy Blazers.

Might be cheaper to buy a used kei truck and convert it to biodiesel or electric.

These are going to sell out so fast and I'm here for it.
