Thoughts? Besides the grill being ugly?

You’re right, the grill is garbage! Reminds me of the fiberglass grills I’ve seen on some guys rigs. Barf!

But I must say, Uncut, High-end interior, Atlas transfer case, all carbon fiber body panels, 190 miles~ This thing will be Waaaay outta my price range but I’ve seen guys spend that much on garbage that they think is cool!

If the 2020/21 Ford looks half this good then Ford is on the right track.
There are some little styling cues that I would change but for the most part, come on! These dudes have crushed it!!!!!!! All Electric with High horsepower while staying TRUE to the “Bronco” at heart!

The grill looks like a plastic model car. But the rest looks pretty sweet. I’m a little surprised they are using a manual transmission. But... at least there is a vegan option interior.

The vegan interior made me laugh. I was surprised they used a trans at all.

Other than being so far out of my price range - and the grill being extra ugly of course - I like it . Seems like it would make a pretty sweet daily driver.

This is about the only E-car I would be interested in, but the solid grill is simply what "they" think an e-car needs to have. I don't care for it either. Some of the shots on their website make it look like a toy. But it would help protect the gear under the hood.

I too am curious to know why they used a real tranny. Maybe that was easier to get the atlas in there.

I guess you'd have to use a trans to adjust torque application if you ever hoped to take it off-road? It's a shame they didn't opt to make it a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle but I get that there's 0 infrastructure for that still.

I’m still waiting for the Tesla Crate motor and battery set.

I've wondered how hard itd be to pull the battery packs out of a Prius or Leaf.
