Guess I’m in the minority that actually likes this. I hate washing my car and I hate the maintenance of gas cars. I literally dgaf about what it looks like. I’ve never cared. Probably why I drive a beat-up Nissan leaf. Can it haul my shit around and go 400+ miles on charge? From what I’ve read, it’s got a 6ft bed with added space in the frunk (or whatever they call that). If they can make that for under $50k, they’ll have plenty of people buying it. These release candidate builds aren’t meant to be final products. Now, if it looks like this when they deliver to customers, then people should complain.
You are absolutely right that trucks and regulators have a problem in general with being pedestrian-killers, but this one has a much more specific case because of the sharp edges.
The base model (63 kWh) starts at RMB 178,800 (roughly $25K), the 86 kWh is RMB 198,800 ($27.8K), and the top-tier 100 kWh version starts at RMB 228,800 ($32K).

It looks like it absolutely murders the shit out of pedestrians
Agreed. That’s the problem with trucks in general and US regulators.

This will be 10x worse then.
Fortunately Chinese companies are going hard into the EV space.

Not that many people that far left on the bell curve, so of course you’re in the minority.
