Yeah, 2021 delivery.

Hopefully they might finish the design by then .

Congrats for jumping in at the deep end Tombie,



AFIK If its over 4500kg gvm, It does not have to comply with the same namby pamby rules as passenger cars . I'd call the design done and dusted.

At 5500kg GVM, (2750 kerb weight) the Iveco 4x4 doesn't need to comply, even if you have it plated at 4495kg and register it as a DC Ute , as I have done.

If someone walks out in front of my car , **** em. Actually I hit a drunk pedestrian and his cranium put a fair dent in my '63 Falcon , hope he had a headache for weeks. Long live Darwinisim.

Thanks mate.

As I had posted, a few boxes needed ticking before an EV could work for us.

Tesla superchargers (nothing beats their charge capacity atm) and range being the 2 most significant.

This vehicle will be able to do the main run we need and then a quick Supercharge and home we go. Failing that we can go via the Clare valley and top up quickly there also.

I like the polarising look of the thing. Function over form and the geometric profile is in my eye appealing.

The big question is what type of wrap design we put in it

i have a question. 4 wheels and 3 motors. how does that work?

One motor for each rear wheel, one motor and a diff for the front wheels.
