Cool that it is a Hot Wheel but still a butt ugly truck.

Nope, The future is looking at ya buddy.

Ford HD Platinum is $100,000 and they are selling those diesels, so a person who wants to be green will love having a 500 mile range HD pickup that is silent electric.

True, anyone can take money but then Tesla was in this place many years ago, they got people excited and have a very loyal following. As stated Detroit, Tesla never has been part of Detroit and Tesla DOES NOT build a full size Pickup Truck. Gotta admit this truck looks even better than Rivians pickup truck and does address the 5.5 ft bed as Atlast offers in 6.5 ft or 8 ft along with Dually option which is what allows the High Gooseneck towing of 35,000lbs. Per their own website based on configuration of battery pack and single wheel or dually you have the following very realistic figures: TRAILER HITCH TOWING CAPABILITIES (lbs): 5,000 10,000 15,000 20,000 FIFTH WHEEL AND GOOSENECK TOWING CAPABILITIES (lbs GCWR): Single rear wheel 10,000 25,000 Dually rear wheel 15,000 30,000 20,000 35,000 PAYLOAD CAPABILITIES (lbs) 1,000 2,000 3,500 5,000 AVAILABLE SUSPENSION OPTIONS With air springs and an independent rear suspension, the Atlis Motor Vehicles ensures that heavy loads are properly leveled, while providing the utmost in ride comfort. Standard: Air spring with dynamic load damping and 12-inches of ground clearance Optional: Off-road long travel suspension with 15-inches of ground clearance * Off-road long travel suspension unavailable with higher towing and payload options These guys have all worked in the auto industry and bring a ton of real life experience to this start up.

You can also get it in a Dually configuration. Reservation are being taken as Production is Q1 of 2020 to start.Future excitement is good, when have we really seen revolutionary change out of Detroit?

Sharp looking from the back too! Their designer has his own web site and I have to say I love his take on a futuristic Wrangler or what he calls the Longnose. https://www.macchinadesign.com/

Loving the looks of this Truck! Like their thinking, be interested to see if they hit their 2020 production start goal. A NEW OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE Atlis Motor Vehicles isn’t just changing the truck, we’re changing the ownership experience. We’re developing purchase and all-inclusive subscription models, designed to stretch your dollar further and maximize your electric pickup truck experience. For subscribers, this means significant monthly savings. It also means an ongoing experience of new vehicles, every three, five, or seven years. Maintenance will be covered, as will charging. For direct purchases, we’ll be offering a warranty you can count on, with the convenience of pay-as-you-go charging. Atlis Subscriber Club New vehicle every 3, 5 or 7 years Maintenance is 100% covered Insurance is 100% covered Unlimited free charging Starting at just $700/month Direct Purchase 10-year, 100% warranty Pay-as-you-go charging Must carry personal insurance Starting $45,000 Service & Warranty EV’s have inherently longer maintenance intervals than combustion engines, and our trucks are being designed for minimal maintenance and maximum longevity. But when needed, maintenance and repairs will be carried out by independently operated shops who are certified to maintain Atlis Motor Vehicles pickup trucks, as well as our own service stations and mobile service capabilities which will gradually be established as we continue to grow. Basic maintenance items such as tire changes can be performed at any shop where you can take your existing vehicle. Our warranty details won’t be fully determined until we’re closer to production, but we are planning for a 10-year warranty. With our subscription service, all routine maintenance will be covered, and the warranty will last at least the duration of the subscription.

Love the interior, this should be a wake up call to the Detroit Legacy OEMs. A center-mounted digital touch screen will serve as the hub for vehicle settings, heating and cooling, and infotainment with Apple Carplay and Android Auto. Use its physical rotary knob to make fast commands and quickly change settings. The dash instrumentation will be a multi-split digital touch screen displaying all live vehicle information, including live video feeds from the standard driver assistance cameras. The unique UI behind the wheel ensures the user is in complete control and allows for various customization. This creates a personal connection as you will be able to create an aesthetic you want. @balthazar You should love the bed options.

That Rock's, I love the look of this pickup and the fact unlike Rivian that they made a fold down door for the FRUNK. This way it has very easy access into the storage area. http://www.atlismotorvehicles.com/

Very cool, I love this I get that a number of folks here have stated they still want physical manual switches or knobs, yet the whole touchscreen interface I see as being the long game of the future for easier changes/updates and especially customization.

That has been the other thinking is could we see GMC / Buick go away in the US leaving a Chevrolet / Cadillac brand for the US market and a Buick / Cadillac setup for China or would it be a Chevrolet / Buick lineup for China.

I do wonder if the next major change of GM will be to retire a couple name plates, which ones is up for debate, but since China seems to love Buick over Cadillac, Could we see a future GM that is Chevrolet / Buick only? Makes me wonder what the Escalade would look like with a Waterfall nose on the SUV. ?

LOL, I wondered the same then when he mentioned the regrade of Seattle, it dawned on me that when Seattle had their great fire, the city decided to fill in the wet lands and spread out and with that they removed many hills / small mountains and leveled the city. The building in that pic and many others like it were destroyed for the complete leveling of the city which is now the Pioneer Square area and SODO area of Seattle, the south end of the city.

Been saying it, we are headed into a corrective stock market period that will affect all in this country.

I will have to agree to disagree, we have history but nothing other than a few stories of coast to coast trips and there people like EV drivers of today probably planned to be in places where there were no fuels and farms DID NOT have storage systems of various fuels like today as you point out there were not really any transportation systems. So yes I do believe there were drivers who wanted the new ICE technology to replace their horses but also had range anxiety till better roads were built and gas stations were built. Today we have a far superior infrastructure of ability to even slow charge EVs and I believe the switch to EVs will happen much faster than it was to ICE.

I am not aware of any ICE auto that can refill in 3 minutes with 300 miles of range. XFC does bring 400 miles of range in 15 min and that should go down over the next few years as solid state batteries with capacitor storage is added to EVs. The charging infrastructure is extensive and growing daily. It is just a matter of time, much as it was with ICE auto's in the early 1900's when you had to think about where a gas station was to make sure you had enough fuel for trips, now at least even if there is no XFC or level 4 charger, there are usually Level 3 DC or level 2 charges to be found and always Level 1 or 110 V chargers so an EV can get power always in the 21st century.

So between compact and sub compact we get semi-sub compact? ?‍♂️ ?

You also are forgetting the human element besides what @A Horse With No Name has stated that is very accurate. Humans make irrational decisions and in some regards some things seem stupid to one but to them makes sense and makes them feel good. Most Prius owners want to minimize their carbon footprint. The Prius, VOLT, heck any hybrid or EV allows their owner to feel good about the carbon footprint they leave regardless of if they understand how the carbon footprint shifts.

True it has been, but it can be more as the electric motor in the Bolt is programmable and has the ability to put out more HP and Torque. A different controller programming could really change the way it drives. If you ever do try a test drive of the bolt, click on the Sport button, and then hit the accelerator. Big difference, they could just make an RS Bolt in Sport mode all the time. Yes lower battery range but wow, so much fun factor.

This my friend is the 21st century suppository for those that love Jelly Beans!

@oldshurst442 ^^^^^ +100,000,000,000,000,000,000 Thank you for making such a clear explanation!

Totally agree, I think they need a Bolt RS and BOLT RS AWD.

@A Horse With No Name @ccap41 Saturday Seahawks at Cowboys, while not watching or pretty much supporting professional sports, I see this game going 1 of two ways. Blow out of Seattle by Cowboys, Intense knuckle fight with a close scoring game between them. I could care less who wins.

Pretty much what you state is what I have always told youth. Education is the great Equalizer that allows people of various beliefs to live together peacefully. If one ignores reading views from all sources it makes one ignorant of trying to understand why the other side believes the way they do and to take those sources of information and come to a better understanding of why society needs to change, technology needs to change, products we use need to change. If we stop learning, stop changing to make ourselves better we start dying.

My son who is a graphic designer and is all Apple has passed on the latest phone's stating there is nothing technologically worth it to upgrade and he now sees better options from the android side that give better quality over apple. He is taking a wait and see approach as he also says Apple has lately seemed to roll out new tech every 2 years like the old Microsoft and now Microsoft is creating new products yearly. It is as if the two companies have flipped their rolls. Some might like Tim Cook as CEO but I think he lacks the creative leadership to drive Apple to new products, solutions and consumer driven demand of profits.
