The design is not exceptionally pretty, but it’s about function, and ease of manufacture, the benefit there of lowering the price.
I also worry about front bed access from the sides, but at least it’s a usable size bed, unlike the Ridgeline type design so many seem to prefer, or the Rivian, which I found kind of cartoony looking.
The full ramp should help access, at least you can walk up into the bed to get stuff out, instead of hopping up and down from the bed.
I understand the triangle design purpose is to be both stronger and more aerodynamic, truck beds are notoriously bad at creating drag, and drag is far more a concern for EV’s than it is for ICE vehicles.
It’s more what an electric usable work truck should be over the design of current ICE trucks, anyway. An EV that looks more like an ICE truck is like when cars looked more like horse drawn carriages, different needs require different designs, but it’s hard to move people past what they are familiar with.
Could someone come up with a better looking one that still filled the needs of EV truck design, of course, but then the price would go up and then people would complain about that.
I ordered the tri-motor. I expect the design will change over the next several years.
