The exterior kinda has a "Cadillac" vibe, imo. I like it.

520+ mile targeted EPA range and 44 minute charging? I'll believe it when I see it... But if they pull that off, then I wouldn't say Rivian has it beat. Of course, pulling it off is the hard part.

EF1-T, really? They couldn't come up with a more original model name?

Rivian picked R1-T... Ford has the F-150. Toyota had the T-100 (and Tundra was originally the T-150 until Ford lawyers objected).

It's not a unique problem.

Looks like another company put together a nice rendering and will now hope to hit the investor lottery. I can't take any automotive startup seriously until they announce their first billion in funds raised. See the Atlis Truck frauds.

Meh. It's a mediocre render hosted on a WordPress site. They didn't even bother to change the default favicon.

Everything about it screams low-effort, which is exactly what you don't want in both a startup and a vehicle manufacturer.

OK Ford already took just T (i.e. Model T)

Looks like what you’d get if the F-150 Lightening and the CyberTruck had a baby.

I give them a 10% chance of getting it to the working prototype stage.

Almost seems like a joke & a play on Faraday Future.

Greg,

Funny you mention that. On first glance, I thought it looks a little like the offspring from a tryst between a CyberTruck and an Endurance. For Its sake, I hope its genetics are more like the former than the latter. Given the parents' shared traits and, especially with Pontiac's demise, I'm surprised they didn't go with either the "Phoenix" or the "Firebird".
