Looks like Alpha Motors built a real Wolf Truck. Some more CT competition getting closer to becoming reality.

Looks more like another Nikola or Lordstrom Motors to me. I think Rivian is going to be the only startup that successfully delivers a truck.

I really like their design style. But yeah the EV space is so full of vaporware and empty promises that I donât believe any of the new EV startups are actually going to make it to production until they are actually building and delivering vehicles.
If Alpha actually hits the market will be a pleasant surprise.

Canoo will likely deliver their Pickup, though, itâs in the mid-size segment so it doesnât complete with the Cybertruck. Unlike the other two companies you mentioned, Canoo crash tested theirs (70+ physical), road tested (500k+ miles) and etc.

If they had a working prototype they would have been driving it. This likely won't ever hit the market.

No interior shot either and rather... Plain.

Thatâs a solid point. If it was a driving prototype then they would have driven it.
Iâm 100% getting the CT. The CT is clearly not for everyone and the more EV truck options people have to choose from the better.

This was my first thought. Also thought it was strange reveal the smallest one of the bunch.

Considering that they are promoting Micheal J. Fox's Parkinson Syndrome charity, it might be intentional. Also calling it the Wolf might be related to Fox as well.

That's right. Because Michael J Fox starred in the movie Teen Wolf!!!

gah. After the first few minutes, I started to get really annoyed with their dialog. Just admit it's a truck, it's not a way of life, it's not going to save the world, and you guys didn't come up with something new. Same thing goes to FORD claiming they're leading the EV revolution.

Single cab is a deal breaker

Yeah I essentially want a minivan that is good for camping.

Pretty much, but one that can also haul lumber / drywall / random heavy stuff.

They have a quad too

Hear this loud and clear Alpha will probably not have a truck this decade. Lordstown motors has a factory, they have a lot of funding and they are struggling to make a truck. This is a couple dudes in Irvine that made a prototype and have resources to make great renderings of vehicles. Unless they get bought or get a huge partner that knows how to bring their designs to reality they will likely be added to the long list of Tesla wannabes. It is crazy hard to break into the car market. I love the alpha motors designs and I think they fill in a much needed gap for cars for enthusiasts that donât look like they belong in the Instagram employee parking lot.

It is supposed to be at the Petersen Museum starting today.

Is it just me, or did the truck look CG the whole time, even when he opened the tail gate.. I love the look of the truck, and would be happy to see more EVâs on the road, but until I see pictures of people in it, and it being a real truck, Iâll hold on to my cybertruck reservation.

Yawn! Just another electric PU.âşď¸zzzz

This is a company being started to sell out.
Literally no idea what they're talking about.
"We want our truck to make you remember what it's like to wake up and watch Saturday morning cartoons."
Like... What?
Two random dudes, who don't even look old enough to have worked in an auto shop for any time, and if they just got out of school for anything electric / automotive related they don't have the acumen to create a business like this on their first go. They could pitch this design to any of the other electric truck makers but the design to me SCREAMS at Toyota to pick them up like the SR5 from Back to the Future - and that's it. We're "aiming" for a 6.1 0-60 "once production starts." So they haven't even started, which is obvious, don't have a battery spec nailed down, which means they don't know what this thing will weigh, and it's built on 'lithium ion batteries' with crazy fast charging - no specs needed. They've found a way to get decent mileage, and charging on par with Tesla in their first venture.
This shit just seems so disingenuous.

MehâŚ

But can it drive me to work?

I hope they pull it off. They have some cool ass models at great price points. The ACE PE has my interest.
