At one point in this weird nonsensical abortion they call life, I had a 64 Ford Econoline. It was the model that had 360 windows (the 8 door model). It was the most fun touring vehicle I’ve ever been in. Granted it only did 55 with the pedal to the metal (quite literally floored). The best vehicle I’ve ever owned. So great for doing back roads in. You could see EVERYTHING.

So the Canoo is going to have a 360 view and a full roof moon roof? Consider me sold for island driving. Come out and see me bruh you gonna get a tour of the island.

So has anyone bought a like… gen 0 vehicle before? I’ve never owned a new car. And never from ab untested manufacturer. I’m just lucky to have this chanc.

Like, I expect deliveries to start in the next few months and I’m trying to set expectations for myself. Has any one here preordered an EV? Is this a mistake? Should I just get another leaf?

    Their designs are innovative and I hope they can execute on them because I think EVs are better when they don’t just try to be like traditional ICE vehicles but with electric propulsion.

    I think Canoo had some concerns about viability and needed to figure out manufacturing at scale. If giant companies like GMC and Ford are having trouble with adoption, startups like Canoo are in for even tougher sledding. Personally, I’m rooting for all of them though.

    I have a Lightning and even though Ford has built vehicles for a hundred and twenty-one years it still scares the shit out of me.

    Did you get extended warranty?

      I have that fear in literally every ford I get in. I am planning on making out warranties etc.
