Looks very aerodynamic with a low drag coefficient. And it's quite versatile with that interchangeable rear end. Should be a winner if they can build it and price it right. Truck market will be huge.
A one-seat pickup truck??? Anyway, Neuron is such a non-entity of a company it doesn't even have a Wikipedia page. Don't hold your breath for an actual vehicle. Looks to me like interest in the Cybertruck has sparked a bunch of entrepreneurs to exploit the interest by soliciting investments. Pretty sweet deal for the founders if they can convince people to give them money.
Okay. I just saw a picture of a cab with one seat. I stand corrected on the seats. The company still seems to be a non-entity scamming investors.
How many announcements have we seen that never materialized? There are just two car companies that actually exist, are making large numbers of EVs, and are serious about EVs: Tesla and Nissan. Everything else is greenwashing and vaporware. I give it one chance in a thousand that the average person will ever be able to buy a Neuron EV. The Cybertruck will be built, in large numbers, and anyone with the money will be able to buy one. (About two years later than currently promised.

Nice looking truck. I am weary that they have not released any specs. Someone said that it looks like a hydrogen-based truck.
Atilis is pretty much non-contender, it seems. When a company asks the customers to invest in their company (their own web site), that does not bode well. From what I understand, it is a tiny company comprised of only a few persons.
I would love to see more diversity of EV trucks. But I doubt that all of these companies will make it.

Exactly. It is so easy nowadays to set up a web site, create some appealing pictures, make big promises, and ask would-be customers to pay for the car in advance with a promise that it's cheaper now than later. Then they can take the money and run, or they can set up an actual corporation, pay themselves a salary while they do "research" and declare bankruptcy when the money runs out and there are no more suckers.
Tesla was different because it was backed by a multi-billionaire who was pouring his own money into it. And it was still good luck that the Roadster finally came out. And the Cybrtruck is different because Tesla is now an established company with a track record of delivering great cars, albeit late.
Most of them are either scams or people with good intentions but insufficient capital and abilities.
I was thinking the same thing for a while that they are vapor ware, I have a reservation with them and they are local to me. They have recently had a lot of jobs they are trying to fill, which before that they had something like 6 employees.
I would have thought if they were a viable option there would have been somebody with some deep pockets wanting to invest
Putting a lot of CGI pictures on a website and building a prototype is nothing like mass producing a quality vehicle and providing service and support, and oh yes, a charging network.
Tesla has a huge lead in the EV market, a lead which was acquired only with an enormous amount of hard work. Every other EV manufacturer, big and small, is lagging far behind for the foreseeable future.
I know some people are excited about the Rivian EV truck, and I hope that company succeeds. At least they have working prototypes getting extensive field testing. Now they actually have to build thousands of them and provide service, and make a profit. That’s the hard part.
