not a Tesla....Neuron EV T-One Electric Pickup/Van

[Pops1967GTX]

Neuron EV T-One, 2019. The California-based, Chinese-backed company has released photos of its modular electric utility vehicle (EUV). The platform can accommodate various truck bodies (pickup, chassis cab, panel van) in addition to a passenger van. Few technical details have been revealed but the scalable chassis uses a multi-source propulsion system drawing power from an all-electric traction battery pack, replaceable reserve power and a removable solar panel truck bed cover.

At least that one has some decent body lines. Sure different looking though.

Ya. What isnt any more . They have there dick scratchin mitts in everything

This one or the Tesla are both ugly. I saw the full viewing of the Tesla and if the range, power and amenities are true, the cost projections are not more than a current loaded truck.

Well, I think we're trying to change that......but it'll take time after giving them damn near everything for the last 50 years.

CHINA???????????

Is that an exclamation of surprise? China is everywhere. Even if you think you're looking at American tradition, it might be Chinese owned and backed.

General Electric - Now Chinese owned.
AMC Theatres - Now Chinese owned.
Smithfield Foods - Now Chinese Owned.
The Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York - Chinese owned.
Motorola Mobility - Chinese.
Teledyne Continental Motors (aircraft engines) - Now Chinese owned.
Triple H Coal - Chinese
First International Oil - Chinese
The Chicago Stock Exchange - Chinese owned.
7-11 Convenience Stores - no wait, they're Japanese owned. Sorry 'bout that.

This truck is ugly but I can understand the styling. It looks like an advanced evolution of a traditional design. The Tesla POS looks dumb as ****. The comments are true...It looks like a stupid kid designed that Tesla Turd.

China owns all of GE? I know GE spun off some divisions like GE appliances and China picked that up but by that time, nearly 100% of all appliances were being built there. GE is a public company so it's the stock holders that own it. Does China hold more than 49% of GE? I do know that nearly 61% of outstanding shares are owned by institutional investors.....

 

[Photon440]

You are correct, it was GE Appliances that I was thinking of. Still Banned, eh?

 

[Cranky]

Still Banned, eh?

Yeah...some people just don't like a cranky old fart

Ford is jumping into the electric truck show too, but not with real facts.

Those TTGX autoracks might add up to a million pounds, but so what? People in the rail shops, including myself, used to routinely move these things by hand. There is so little friction involved that with some grunting, you can push or pull a rail car a few feet, just lay down a piece of wood on the rail to stop the wheel where you want so it doesn't keep on rolling. I've switched a couple dozen cars at once with a little four cylinder trackmobile. A forklift will do the job that that truck is doing. In fact, a stiff wind will move these cars down the rail, if the handbrakes haven't been properly applied.
