Telo Truck :: The Electrifying Reinvention of the Mini Truck

The next generation of mini trucks has decided to go electric. That's right, this little powerhouse is ditching the gas guzzlers and embracing the spark of electricity. Imagine a mini truck with the heart of a Tesla and the charm of a classic pickup, all wrapped up in a package that could practically fit in your pocket (well, almost).

I love the way it looks! Would be happy to buy one... some day.

I love this little truck. I cannot wait till it's out on the road. Sign me up.

Telo looks good. Its looks efficient and neat.

[woodchip]

Love it!❤ I don’t need a monster guzzler.

[ccibinel]

Great design. I really hope they make it. The idea of choosing between a 8 ft box and a back seat is very reasonable and being 2000lb lighter and smaller is good

[andremcamara]

I like it.

Will continue to follow the Telo Truck, to supplement my Aptera.

I really dont care how it looks. Its function is much more important. I like this vehicle so far.

4x8 sheet inside bed, modular flexibility, i love this truck! If it can go 75 mph i want 1

I hope these small truck companies actually make this happen. Such a need for them right now. Lots of people want a truck that isn't a monstrosity.

i went ahead and preordered it. really liked an interview i saw with one of the owners of the company. will it succeed? eh who knows. but I'm gonna do what I can to support it.

I like the direction it's going in. It will fit/park anywhere you want it to. I think the projected price is a bit high but all cars are costing way too much. The only thing that bothers me are the exposed front wheels. I don't really see a bumper of any kind that would pass NHTSA requirements and I'd be worried about having something hit the tires. Most cars and trucks have less than half their diameter exposed, being covered by the front bumper and body panels. I'd rather have the body panel take the hit than the tires. This size truck would be really nice for me. I could see using it for all kinds of things although adding a roof-rack is going to be an issue since the truck is so low people will run into things on the roof-rack. The wheels are also small. They look like 14" diameter making them more difficult to purchase. BFGoodrich does make All-Terrain tires for 14" wheels but they still look small for a truck.

Looks good to me. My only concern is the tiny crumple zone.

[andrewamina]

I love LOVE the concept, size, space use…but the design just looks a little…unfinished?? And I don’t understand what that weird side dent is for.

[pipersall]

I like it! I can sure see a lot of people buying that! Sort of a Canoo vibe and nothing wrong with that. $50000 is too much by about 20 - 25k.

I actually like the way the Telo looks. I mean it's not as beautiful as a Jaguar XK-E Series 1 or even a 1st generation Miata, but it does have the kind of rugged attractiveness I look for in a pickup. I really like the idea of a small pickup like this, and I think the basic design has a lot of promise. My main concern is that this truck is sort of in the proof of concept stage. Everything is possible from actually delivering a vehicle that does all the things they're promising to total failure. I am a little concerned about the cargo into the cab feature. It sounds cool until you consider the possibility of the a stack of 4x8 plywood sheets will slam into the driver and passenger in the event of an accident. There's also concerns about rainwater. I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one, but we'll have to see what it is when they actually hit the market with production vehicles.

[sojourner]

really depends how it crash test. I’m surprised there’s no cover for the wheels given how much it affect air dynamics. I like the concept and look.

[artsmith]

Thanks for so clearly listing the specs.

[tonyreyes]

Honestly, you can't defend the look. The front end is nothing to brag about, but pnce you get passed the front end you will find all the serendipity! I'm for sure getting it and I own a Modely and a Rivian R1S.

[michaelrobb]

3:08 you took the answer out of my mouth

[Ingo.Mclean]

Really looking forward to this endeavor
