TELO Trucks also makes a statement. It states that an electric pickup truck can be functional, affordable, and Kei-cult tiny at the same time. At 152 inches long the new TELO MT1 can squeeze into tight parallel parking spots as easily as a Mini Cooper but its truck bed measures a hefty 60 inches, comparable to a Toyota Tacoma.
The MT1 is also getting more affordable as we speak. When TELO burst out of stealth mode in June of 2023, they listed the base price at $49,999.00. In a pre-production announcement for the company’s inaugural TELO MT1 electric pickup truck earlier this week, the base price dropped to $41,520.00 (see more background on the TELO electric pickup truck here).
If Mr Tarpenning can mass sufficient number of the TELO with goog quality; he could sell a boatload of them.
250 mile range estimate.
