Cybertruck| Tesla

In the 1980’s there were depictions that showed what the future would be like. We had this vision of Mad Max, Terminator and the Jetsons in our mind. A few technologies have came out that have blown our minds but most vehicle designs have stayed pretty similar. Until now. The Telsa Cybertruck looks exactly like I pictured trucks in 2020 would look like.

This Cybertruck is a mash up of an electric sports car and a truck mixed into a fast and tough looking design. This truck can accelerate from 0-60mph in as little as 2.9 seconds! On a single charge, the range is upwards of 500 miles and has a towing capacity of 7500 pounds. This rig also comes equipped with auto pilot although I’m not sure if I would trust that while on a backroad up a steep mountain, but still cool to have.

The Cybertruck retails anywhere from $39,900 to $69,900 depending on the model and will be available in late 2021.

Electric Ford Bronco

Zero Labs took the classic Ford Bronco and restored and retrofitted it with an electric

motor. Using the 1966 to 1977 versions of the truck they were able to pack in a 369 hp Borg Warner electric motor running. This motors runs off of a 70 kilowatt-hour battery pack which gives you a 190 miles of range. This all-electric Bronco features over 1,000 original parts. Other features include carbon fiber body panels, bamboo interior trim, premium or vegan leather as well as aluminum.

They make it clear on their site that this is not a collaboration with Ford so we’re going to call this the best un-collaboration ever! But, Ford does have the new Bronco coming out next year. Zero Labs is planning on production in late 2020 and is currently taking orders for the first 150 trucks. Final pricing is TBD.

If you are into restored Ford Bronco’s here is another one we wrote about a few months ago.

Rivian R1T

We’ve been waiting for something like the Rivian R1T, and while we’ll actually have to keep waiting till 2020, we’re pumped. Billed as the World’s First Electric Adventure Vehicles, the R1T is the pickup option of Rivian’s two vehicles. Its aesthetics are both futuristic and vintage. Flowing lines, vertical oval headlights, and a modern touch screen interior blended with boxy proportions more Icon than Tesla. Rivian claims 250-400 mile range for R1T courtesy of its Quad Motor System. Those four motors pump out 750HP and enough torque for a 3 second 0-60MPH. With best in class lockable storage, multiple 110v outlets to charge from, and a built in air compressor it’s impossible not to let your mind run wild with build scenarios of an electric overlander with the performance of a supercar. For now we’ll just have to wait patiently for the future to arrive.

$61,500 Starting Price after Federal Tax Rebates
