EV’s and the need to wring as much range out of them as possible is making really really clear that traditional car and truck designs are inefficient and illogical. They’re attractive because they’re what we are used to generally, but use large amounts of energy that don’t need to be used just due to aesthetics. Like... double or triple in some cases. Pickups are egregious in that regard. Even the CT is a compromise with that edge where the roofline starts to slope back down. Flow detaches.
The future is large, highly-sloped windshields and cars that are closer to those Mercedes things in shape. I wish it weren’t true, but it is. You dont really want to give up 100 miles of range to get a two-box shape. Or... at least our children won’t.
