      I work for an energy assessment office that was sent out to the OKC plant to perform an energy audit. They are doing great with bringing that place back up-to-date and working on their assembly line and processes there. Got to see their newest electric truck prototype, and I would love to share details about it but I'm under NDA. All I can say is that, as a mechanical engineering student that is very critical on the overhyping of EVs, I am actually wanting their truck. It has actual utility to it and it's not a boxy dressed-up mess, that is the Cybertruck, or other EV trucks like it.
      Also, I can tell that their employees are treated very well by the company there.

      They originally had a partnership with Hyundai that was promising for a time regarding co-development of the skateboard platform, unfortunately it failed.

    Canoo is truley a innovative company with a lof of potential. Billions in pipeline orders (Walmart, Kngbee, Zeeba and more) and growing. Main hurdle now is cash and production to get everything rolling. Hard times with inflation, interest rates rising, credit cards and housing markets on the edge of possible major correction which makes it hard to gain investors. Hopefully some big $$ investors can help get this company over the hump and start to fulfill their fleet orders.

      Their chief designer took off about a year ago, they could just hire him. Alot of the investors wish Apple would buy this design as well, but in order for them to sell the company they need management to maneuver the company into something that doesn't just burn 1 billion dollars of cash and have nothing rolling off the production line. Agree design is nice, but look at the headlights on the Hyundai Ioniq. lol. The Japanese can get whatever design elements they want from this company, those headlights are a good indication - they look just like canoo LDV

They could then generate some profit and provide proof of concept to the buying public before investing in battery factories and manufacturing facilities that are very capitol intensive for a start up. I could see Apple, Google or another tech company that wish to enter the EV space interested in buying them out at some point as Canoo has created a unique and innovative EV platform IMO.

    I bought shares (with gambling money) all the way down to $0.19, and recently, thinking maybe Canoo will survive, maybe.
    Not encouraged by SEC action.
    Not convinced about U-shaped seating in passenger car. Seems dangerous to be thrown sideways in an accident.

    I don't know what's wrong with me but I love the Lifestyle Van! I know, it's crazy but there it is and I also love the pickup model as well. I toyed with the idea of investing with them but I find that without a definitive mission statement and conviction to go in one direction they need a compass. Canoo's Delivery vans, Lifestyle vans, the pickup and the Army pickup etc. are all diverging products with not much of a road map for profitability. I still love the vehicles but they are super niche looking and doubtful they will catch on with the buying public. They had a great digital model of a car body on the Lifestyle platform but I don't understand why they never produced a prototype. I really hope they survive!

As nice as it is driving an EV that can do a 9 second 1/4 mile vehicle with a zero to 100 of 2.5 seconds, if one just needs to get around, a 12 second 1/4 mile vehicle with zero to 100 of 10 seconds is just fine... especially if the resulting range can be equal to the faster unit, but from a battery half the size.

      @@zoobrizz I get your sentiment. Apparently, new battery tech is around the corner that will give EVs 1,000 miles of range. If true, this will drive a death knell in ICE cars. Of course, software and now monthly subscriptions are huge problems with EVs, but imagine taking a 1985 Toyota Tercel, tearing out the engine, and putting in a battery in its place. No software updates, no computers. A pure analog driving experience. I think this will be great. Customizers will flourish. This could be great for the automotive industry.

    I like the army version of the Canoo pickup. It’s compact size and expands bed are really interesting. I also like it’s sorta cab forward design. I do not expect it to have much hard core off road capability like a wrangler, but if it’s reasonably capable like a Subaru Outback, than its great for me. I hope to see it actuality produce vehicles and make it to market.

    I Love Canoo and I'm betting they will make it (I'm invested). I only know Canoo under Tony's management and I think he will make this a very successful company. He is focused on fleets first where they have over 3 billion $ of binding orders. Also the SEC fine is old news and has been paid and was from prior management. With the SEC overhang gone this means that Canoo now is able to qualify for more funding. If they can get into production this year with a 20k run rate as projected the story will change.

    I watched the original video introducing the pickup and liked it. The pickup has a compelling use case for small business, for contractors and as an adventure vehicle. If the company can produce its own batteries in may be able to sell the pickup at a price that will allow it to grow much bigger.

    I know, old post. But I'm rooting for them. It's a really flexible platform that makes the most use of space. Imagine a Prius being able to carry a4'×8' sheet of plywood. That's exactly what this thing will be able to do. It will be about as fast as a mid-90s pony car in the base configuration. Trust me, after years of driving Ford Transit Connect & Nissan NV200 micro vans, this thing is way better built with dramatically better visibility. This is a superior vehicle in so many ways from a functional aspect.

    Nice video. Well done, thorough. I personally would buy the pick-up in a heartbeat if offered to the public. IF, Canoo can fulfill the commercial orders they have, especially Walmart because it is a household name, then, yes, I think they can succeed. If Walmart terminates its deal, I doubt Canoo will survive. I hope they make it. It's the most innovative design I've ever seen in a pick-up.

  • @riverstyx9618
    @riverstyx9618 3 месяца назад

    The scaled down size that retains the capacity of a 4x8 sheet of plywood is genius, but the challenge facing Canoo and all electric vehicles is the combination of raw materials, weather, and infrastructure. EVs don't pollute on the road, but there are serious environmental problems in securing the raw materials for the batteries and environmental problems for what to do with batteries at the end of their life cycle. Then there is the problem of both excessively hot and excessively cold weather. Hot weather uses up range with air conditioning and cold weather eats up range with both heating occupant space and diminished battery efficiency. On top of that, we still don't have adequate coverage for charging stations or the electricity production to support millions of EVs. And while statistics say ICE vehicles have more fires, the EV fires are so intense that many will continue to fear EV ownership until the EV fire issue is solved. I like the concept of EVs and if I were ready to own one, I would really like a Canoo. I hope they succeed, but even though the government is trying to ram EVs down our throats, I don't think it is realistic yet. What the industry needs is a battery with eco-friendly materials and a much lower risk of intense fires. It's also going to need a much larger capacity electricity grid, whether by nuclear or fossil fuels. (The current technology in renewable energy is just not adequate.) EVs would also benefit from quick exchange batteries. With batteries being a part of the structure of the vehicle, there is no real potential for a used EV market, but only a large pile of more junk cars as batteries fail.
