  1. It's the future of off-road, but you need a diesel or something to charge the batteries. 4 independent electric motors provide a lot of power, no transfer case, no transmission, no axels, lots of advantages.

  2. Presumably a diesel or petrol engine with hydraulic drive to each hub could achieve the same traction benefits.

  3. Electric? Why do I see dual-exhausts?

  4. Ok, that's a lot better than the gunmetal salad wedge shown a month ago. Interesting how Musk now has coopted the genius' entire name...wonder what Tesla would say if he were alive? (enter the lawyers)

    Bog- Thinking they are LED's lighting up on acceleration...an LA street racer sorta thing.

  5. Kinda looks like a Ford Truck Concept vehicle.

  6. Looks like they put an uncovered hollow space in the back so they could call it a pickup like Ford did with their Exploder in the early 200's.
    Looks like you'd be lucky to get more than 3 square bales in there not to mention any real lumber, pipes or ladders
