Re: Heresy?
YouΓÇÖre right, the grill is garbage! Reminds me of the fiberglass grills IΓÇÖve seen on some guys rigs. Barf!
But I must say, Uncut, High-end interior, Atlas transfer case, all carbon fiber body panels, 190 miles~ This thing will be Waaaay outta my price range but IΓÇÖve seen guys spend that much on garbage that they think is cool!
If the 2020/21 Ford looks half this good then Ford is on the right track.
There are some little styling cues that I would change but for the most part, come on! These dudes have crushed it!!!!!!! All Electric with High horsepower while staying TRUE to the ΓÇ£BroncoΓÇ¥ at heart!

The grill looks like a plastic model car. But the rest looks pretty sweet. IΓÇÖm a little surprised they are using a manual transmission. But... at least there is a vegan option interior.

The vegan interior made me laugh. I was surprised they used a trans at all.

Re: Heresy?
Other than being so far out of my price range - and the grill being extra ugly of course - I like it . Seems like it would make a pretty sweet daily driver.

This is about the only E-car I would be interested in, but the solid grill is simply what "they" think an e-car needs to have. I don't care for it either. Some of the shots on their website make it look like a toy. But it would help protect the gear under the hood.
I too am curious to know why they used a real tranny. Maybe that was easier to get the atlas in there.

Re: Heresy?
I guess you'd have to use a trans to adjust torque application if you ever hoped to take it off-road? It's a shame they didn't opt to make it a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle but I get that there's 0 infrastructure for that still.

I've wondered how hard itd be to pull the battery packs out of a Prius or Leaf.
