I wonder if its a shell company used to design and test an electric Jt w/o it being branded as jeep yet
It’s not. They are a defense contractor. I saw them at a trade show a few years ago. Here’s their small SUV offering. It was like $200K.

Looks like a prototype, some part of which, not the body, to be sold to the highest bidder...

Looks like mostly designed after a Defender....with a focus on having as simple of sheetmetal as possible. Liekey to save production costs for a company that likely doesn't have even 1/100th of the tooling that a major automaker has.

What I don't understand (other than the syling - blech!), is vehicles have curves and reveals to strengthen body panels as well as for aerodynamics. This thing is gonna look like a refrigerator in a frat house before long; full of dents and creases.

Also, given this is an electric vehicle, you'd think they would have at least attempted to minimize air resistance a bit.

And how would this come anywhere close to meeting pedestrian impact safety?

I'm starting to think they're focused more on developing the technology of the platform and hope to sell it to a major manufacturer. Or else they are really secretive what the production version will look like.

What I think it is vaporware and a long wind of Bull S###. I was one of the ones waiting on the SUV version the first year "you would get a update ever few months" that they put up a new plasma cut stainless steel sign or so other S###. Then then next few years nothing, then we need X dollars but no date set for delivery or production. Then re-sign up on list for it on and on B.S.
It started out to be a good idea and simple. Then it seems like the Bradley fighting vehicle designer team had happen and started getting of new requirements from the big Army.
