Unlike conventional electric trucks, Tesla Cybertruck has a monochrome exoskeleton structure. It’s built with ultra-hard 30x cold-rolled stainless steel.

Rivian has been testing both of its electric vehicles for a long time, leaving very little room for any glitch in the production models. We believe Rivian R1T is one of the most impressive and robust upcoming electric pickup trucks that we expect to launch in mid-2021.
Furthermore, Rivian is also planning to introduce a 400-mile long-range variant and a shorter range variant with 250 miles of R1T in 2022.

It’s a new name in the industry; however, the specs of Atlis XT electric pickup trucks are astonishingly impressive. It rarely happens that any electric vehicle beats to challenge Tesla in terms of specifications.
We are not saying that Atlis XT is better than Tesla Cybertruck, however, both the towing and payload capacity of Atlis are better than Cybertruck. In addition, it also stands equal in terms of electric range as well. Anyway, it was just for reference and we are not here to compare these two electric trucks.
However, Atlis Motors is a new brand and it surely needs to build a strong charging and service network for its success in the industry.
The company claims Atlis XT will be launched somewhere in 2021, we expect it to arrive in 2022.

There are four such hub motors in Lordstown Endurance, one on each wheel for the ultimate driving experience. In terms of safety, it’s awarded an overall safety rating of five stars. Furthermore, it’s capable of over the air software updates.
As an electric truck, Lordstown Endurance is not bad, however, Lordstown needs to work on its charging infrastructure and a broad network before launching it.
