Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

It’d be nice of someone told them you don’t need that big pedestrian smasher grill on an ev.

It almost looks like they have framing to obscure the true shape under the tarps

[–] KnitWit@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

I sure hope so.

It's definitely foam blocks to obscure the shape. We use them for camo all the time.

For sure they are hiding the shape. I still wouldn't bet there's a reasonably shaped front end under there.

Are you saying they're hiding a gently sloping hood under there?

[–] Cricket@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

That's my impression of the photos too.

You dont need it on ICE either.

You do if you want to evade American passenger car emission and pedestrian safety regulations since it's a "light truck".

Especially since the sole reason for that bullshit is skirting fuel mileage requirements.

I hate how bad the visibility is in new cars. Tiny windows. Massive hoods. Huge blindspots.

They probably have a frunk up there. But they could have sacrificed a cubic foot and sloped it down for safety and efficiency.

seems likes it designed to entice would be f150 customers.

Pickup buyers want intimidating asshole designs.
