Telo Truck :: The Electrifying Reinvention of the Mini Truck

- The next generation of mini trucks has decided to go electric. That's right, this little powerhouse is ditching the gas guzzlers and embracing the spark of electricity. Imagine a mini truck with the heart of a Tesla and the charm of a classic pickup, all wrapped up in a package that could practically fit in your pocket (well, almost).
I hope these small truck companies actually make this happen. Such a need for them right now. Lots of people want a truck that isn't a monstrosity.
Amen brother.
Great design. I really hope they make it. The idea of choosing between a 8 ft box and a back seat is very reasonable and being 2000lb lighter and smaller is good
I love this little truck. I cannot wait till it's out on the road. Sign me up.
I like it.
Will continue to follow the Telo Truck, to supplement my Aptera.
That would be the ideal combo for me too. Most people buying large trucks don’t need them. #smalldickenergy 😂
I like it! I can sure see a lot of people buying that! Sort of a Canoo vibe and nothing wrong with that. $50000 is too much by about 20 - 25k.
Telo looks good. Its looks efficient and neat.
3.5 miles/kWh. Good if you need the size.
I love the way it looks! Would be happy to buy one... some day.
I really dont care how it looks. Its function is much more important. I like this vehicle so far.
4x8 sheet inside bed, modular flexibility, i love this truck! If it can go 75 mph i want 1
i went ahead and preordered it. really liked an interview i saw with one of the owners of the company. will it succeed? eh who knows. but I'm gonna do what I can to support it.
looks like the future
I like the direction it's going in. It will fit/park anywhere you want it to. I think the projected price is a bit high but all cars are costing way too much. The only thing that bothers me are the exposed front wheels. I don't really see a bumper of any kind that would pass NHTSA requirements and I'd be worried about having something hit the tires. Most cars and trucks have less than half their diameter exposed, being covered by the front bumper and body panels. I'd rather have the body panel take the hit than the tires. This size truck would be really nice for me. I could see using it for all kinds of things although adding a roof-rack is going to be an issue since the truck is so low people will run into things on the roof-rack. The wheels are also small. They look like 14" diameter making them more difficult to purchase. BFGoodrich does make All-Terrain tires for 14" wheels but they still look small for a truck.
I love the look.
I love it!
Looks good to me. My only concern is the tiny crumple zone.
Would be interested to see how it does in crash tests.
@@pipersall6761There's a longer recent video addressing that.
I Love the super sci fi look !
I love LOVE the concept, size, space use…but the design just looks a little…unfinished?? And I don’t understand what that weird side dent is for.
The air pocket from behind the front wheel is actually vented in that dent for aerodynamics.
@@ccibinel Oohh interesting, thanks!
Love it!❤ I don’t need a monster guzzler.
really depends how it crash test. I’m surprised there’s no cover for the wheels given how much it affect air dynamics. I like the concept and look.
Great video as always!
bless your heart
Thanks for so clearly listing the specs.
I actually like the way the Telo looks. I mean it's not as beautiful as a Jaguar XK-E Series 1 or even a 1st generation Miata, but it does have the kind of rugged attractiveness I look for in a pickup. I really like the idea of a small pickup like this, and I think the basic design has a lot of promise. My main concern is that this truck is sort of in the proof of concept stage. Everything is possible from actually delivering a vehicle that does all the things they're promising to total failure. I am a little concerned about the cargo into the cab feature. It sounds cool until you consider the possibility of the a stack of 4x8 plywood sheets will slam into the driver and passenger in the event of an accident. There's also concerns about rainwater. I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one, but we'll have to see what it is when they actually hit the market with production vehicles.
Really looking forward to this endeavor
I would hate to see a front end crash damage estimates. So many times what looks more minor on a Tesla EV is a total loss. I can see this here too. Safety is a concern but I love the styling.
I don't know why EV makers are always giving such importance to torque / HP / 0-60 time. I just want a reliable vehicle with decent range! Correct me if I'm wrong, but the specs on this seem overkill for the size of the vehicle.
The style is interesting, kinda like a cybertruck crossed with a Canoo. I don't hate it but don't love it.
nail on the head my dude.. I mean, i love horsepower as much as the next dude.. 500 in this seems a bit dangerous maybe.. but yea, style wise, much more into the Canoo extended cab.. happy holidays pal
@@GearboxPizza The efficiency is only 3.5 miles/kWh. I'd rather see 4.5 with closer to 200 hp, 8 sec 0-60.
One of the most functional vehicles in modern times was the original Scion XB…
This could have a similar effect and be well received…
🤔
I have a pre-order.
But at $50k.... I don't no, seems to steep.
Eh??? the GOEV Bulldog is a better EV truck even used by USAarmy and states/ USPS, it sells for about $21,000 starting price. i bought GOEV stock as it is knocking the socks off the Cybertruck big loser that Elon lies about for over a year now. Now Elon is in major lawsuit two with a judgment coming soon. DYOR....GOEV stock
This thing kicks the cybertrucks bum!! It’s way too expensive, but you could make an amazing suv camper on this frame y’all! If I was younger and richer I’d def be in line.
Except the bandaid, the design looks good and useful.
The French Pug of pickup trucks! No, build it!
I'm pumped at the small truck potential. On the list for Cybertruck, but will probably drop off. On list for Canoo also, Just put a deposit on Telo. I'll take whichever comes first.
Why in the 7 fooks can't they give these things realistic specs. If they wanna impress me then launch an all-wheel drive small truck for $30,000.
Won't happen until batteries cost $5k or less.
Looks like this company is focusing more on function than form
Canoo is better. It's more focused on corporate fleets. I think that gives it the best chance to survive, not directly competing with Tesla or depending on access to infrastructure.
my lowered '87 nissan was the shit.
I like small trucks. Not a fan of electric vehicles, but they might make sense for running local chores. Just make sure not to park them in your garage or close to your house.
Small trucks ftw
It’s attractive and ideal for those that dont need a mid or full size truck. I’m liking the front but seems like it needs a bumper 😅 and the side looks good to but I don’t understand that slated bandaid thing across the door and lastly $50,000+ is way out of my range. add to that its a new company with proprietary stuff in the mix and if it folds a year into your making payments on your new $50,000 EV? OUCH!
Love the styling but it needs a front bumper.
Would love one, but the band-aid looking indentation on the side and the 50K price ruin it for me. Watching this made me miss my 84 Mazda SE-5 so bad.

I like it but I'm holding out the Canoo.
Another cool looking concept…that will likely never see the production line.
Just look at Canoo. They have (had?) legit interest from the US Government and still cannot manage to get the production line really going.
The age of ev startups is likely over.
The order page does not process and of my normal payment methods. I have tripe too. Is There a way to pre order by phone??
My only concern would be safety
Something Subaru should do to reintroduce the BRAT
I'm thinking they are copying the path and the designs of Canoo with a little twist and tweak here and there. Well if Canoo used the wheelbase length of a Prius, I can't fault them for sizing off of a mini cooper.
stick a solar panel roof, 4 inwheel motors (e.g. from hyundai mobis)... yeah....
Where do you plug it in to recharge when your at the Beach or out in the Country ???>>?? Tell me where because you can’t..
If you're less than 150 miles away it doesn't matter. Relax, your non existent solar vehicle would only add 17 miles. It's not worth mentioning.
@@artsmith103 And if your more than 150 miles away then well your F**KED
This, is _compact_, and _flexible_. I dont need a ute. All the time. Or a 3rd row. All the time. But to be able to do so when its needed, AWESOME! I want these two aspects on the cybertruck. so chop a half a meter off the front and meter off the back of the cyber truck, give it a drop down midwell with pop up third row seats and its s*x on wheels.
At the beginning of this vid you showed an old Suzuki Samurai. Did you know Suzuki still builds it? Since 1970
Suzuki has built the JIMNEY. The marketing firm called it the SAMARI for the US market. In 2018 Suzuki
introduced the 4th gen of the Jimney. The nearest dealership to the US in Tajuana, Mx.

Clearly over priced at 50k for a novelty vehicle.
The range seems good, but I'm not a fan of the looks.
It does grow on you a bit.. let it soak in a bit.
Whats hilarious about EVs is that the most modest electric family sedan can whip any
supercar in a drag race. By N By supercar owners will tire of the humiliation & trade for an EV.
!
I like the design and concept...but the graphic on the side looks like a dent or some accident damage...my 3 year old can do better than that..
looks ugly as shit but if you want a modern pickup that isn't the size of a tank I guess this is the only option
I like the size of this truck. Unless you have a use case of regularly transporting large items (rare for general user communities), needing anything bigger than this is simply lower appendage extension mindset.
