Look what I spotted romming the streets of torrance today. Sorry for the crappy pics, nearly missed it. Saw it just as I got off the 405 and the light changed. Can't wait to see their pickup truck in the flesh.

Did your camera try to resolve that wrap as a QR code and pop up a URL? ?

If that did happen it would be the greatest marketing ever. ?

Honestly at this point I don't care what an EV looks like if it has 7 seats and has reasonable range and price.
This could be a replacement for my Leaf, but likely could not be our main family vehicle as the range and storage are on the low side.

I need to see car seats installed with the way they configured the seats.
Though this is not much different than some of the Toyoto Hiace vans we road around in when we lived in Uganda.

Dude, I know Canoo has some good tech, and they even helped develop the eGMP for Hyundai/Kia.

I invested in them, and they're killing me right now, after their recent earnings. I hope things get better & we see more of these on the road.

Caveats to my opinion: I've got pre-orders for all three vehicles, the lifestyle, the truck, and the MPDV. I also own stock.

I was a bit disappointed when Canoo moved away from the idea of a subscription-based EV and as with @skyote the stock drop has not made me terribly happy. That said, I think their vehicles have a cool design aspect that sets them apart from anything else on the road, and I think they're approaching the right segments with the right focus.

I think the lifestyle in particular will end up speaking to a more hipster-vibe adventure oriented community than Rivian. It certainly will not match a Rivian for capability, but the price-point they're shooting for should attract a younger crowd that is very interested in experiences. It seems like it will be a solid platform for OEM and aftermarket accessories/options to head in that direction.

The other major demographic will be younger family-starters. For this purpose I think the Lifestyle takes the place of minivans and larger SUVs for young families interested in EVs and tech.

I remain bullish on Canoo - I think they've got a good shot to be another EV manufacturer that makes it to mass market. Seeing that they've got test vehicles on the road is a great sign and gives me more of that confidence.... assuming I don't get a 'Lordstown Inferno' kind of story in the coming days/weeks ?

I'm heavily invested in Canoo and pickup truck preorder as well. The past few days have been very brutal. I still believe in them and think they will be one of the few ev startups still standing in the future, Rivian included. Seeing the vehicle driving yesterday definitely picked my spirits up.

i highly doubt the stock is dropping because of the companies outlook. This roller coaster market is all about Covid and temporary inflation. Best just to hold long if you believe in them. I will definitely throw some money into Rivian when they go public
