I love the design of that vehicle. Reminds me of the square body days of the 80s and 90s!

Just you wait, these will be iconic and sought after in about 20 years, lol. People will be doing pet projects on them just like the Subaru bugeyes of the 00s. Which people also thought were weird looking, haha.

I'm glad they start doing something different with the front. I hate the electric cars that still have the ventilation slits for where the cars radiator used to be, but have them filled in with black plastic, as they serve no purpose anymore.

New hardware begs me design and shoehorning in the old design aesthetic is both lazy as well as proof of a lack of vision.

2020 seems to be the decade of awful tail lights but Rivian is definitely trying to set a new trend here. Those would be a total deal breaker for me if I was looking for an electric truck which is shame because otherwise it's a nice vehicle.
