    Canoo Pricing, Accessible For Everyone - Promises Kept!

      This week Canoo opened its reservations for preorders of their three BEVs. The LifeStyle vehicle, MPDV (Multi-purpose delivery vehicle) and pickup truck can be reserved in the United States with a $100 deposit per vehicle at www.canoo.com.

    Canoo is excited to announce their preorder reservation system is now open with a minimal $100 deposit. Canoo Inc. has stated that their first BEV will be their Lifestyle vehicle launching in 2022 with a targeted pricing of starting from $34,750 and rising to $49,950 for delivery, base and premium models before incentives or optional equipment. Pickup Truck and MPDV scaled production are scheduled to begin in early 2023.

    CEO and Executive Chairman of Canoo Inc. Tony Aquila states the following: “It’s no longer a question of whether America will go EV – but when. Our line-up is future-forward and succeeds where others have struggled: Giving people the EV that works smarter for them at a price that can work for their budgets. That’s why we are designing for flexible use cases and focused on productivity solutions,” “We are designing for people who work hard, play hard and need something reliable, that will last and give you value. We’re for the 99% not the 1%. Our vehicle line-up is built for the backbone of America – to give you value so you can work smarter.”

    Designed as a cabin forward to maximize interior space and function with exportable power and customization options is what the Canoo Lifestyle Vehicle is all about. Available in four trims: base, premium, adventure and Lifestyle Vehicle Delivery. The Lifestyle Vehicle is the ultimate multi-tasker designed for the family that is constantly on the go. Without the need for an engine compartment, the Lifestyle Vehicle features the unique street view window for improved driver visibility.

    The Adventure trim has more ground clearance with a muscular profile. The bumpers are enhanced along with the auto having metal skid plates added for increased vehicle durability.

    Canoo's signature headlights and taillights serve as a core brand identifiers without the need for a logo.

    The companies proprietary and highly versatile multi-purpose platform architecture will under pin all models from the Canoo lineup of BEVs. The Lifestyle Vehicle has the interior space of a large SUV with an exterior footprint of a compact car and is made for urban, adventure, families, fleet, ride hailing and more.

    Anticipated specifications:

    • 300 hp
    • 332 lb-ft of torque
    • 250 miles of battery range

    Ready for work or play, the electric pickup truck is an ALL-AMERICAN made cabin-forward, steer-by-wire technology design built on their modular multi-purpose platform architecture. The truck has an extendable flatbed that Canoo believes will compete with America's best selling pickup trucks on a smaller footprint allowing for an easier to maneuver and more convenient to drive. The pickup truck was designed for all users with features that work from on-site jobs to out in the woods comfort. Exportable power, advanced exterior lighting, fold down worktable, cargo storage, flip-down side-tables, sidesteps and storage, extendable bed with space dividers and multi-accessory charge ports.

    Anticipated specifications:

    • AWD or RWD motor configurations
    • 500 plus HP
    • 550 lb-ft of torque
    • Payload capacity of 1,800 lbs.,
    • 200 plus miles battery pack range

    The MPDV or Multi-purpose delivery vehicle is designed to maximize return on investment for a wide range of commercial customers (fleets) and yet still keeps small business and families in mind depending on configuration.

    The MPDV was built with last-mile delivery companies in mind initially. High efficiency with class leading cargo space offer cost savings allowing businesses to reinvest and thrive. From independent contractors, tradespeople, utilities, service technicians and more.

    Bi-directional onboard charging maximizes functionality and transforms the BEV into a power plant for equipment and tools that can be powered even in remote destinations. The vehicle was designed to accommodate workstations to store and access a variety of devices, products and equipment.

    Depending on configuration, anticipated specifications:

    • 200hp
    • 236 lb-ft of torque
    • 250 miles battery pack

    Pricing, features, and performance metrics are all estimated and can change. Final vehicle specifications will be revealed at production launch.

    I see Canoo is under a full SEC investigation...

    Yes, seems all the EV startups that are going the SPAC route to public trading are being reviewed by the SEC as they do not want another Nikola issue. Lordstown is also under the same SEC fact finding investigation.

    One thing I do find interesting is that the new CEO replaced the past existing CEO last month for undisclosed reasons, but the old CEO was in the office on a morning and by that afternoon was out of a job and off the company property. Something clearly was up there. Be interesting to see where it ends.

    The "pick up" is actually kind of neat (reminds me to the VW microbus with PU beds) but the rest is a mess IMO.

    I can see how it does have it's messy points, but then it also truly stands out from the other trucks with a clear idea of functional lifestyle living. I would like to see one in person and sit in one as it might just be a very roomy, versatile auto for the suburban family.

    I would've thought that would mean you could read thru that sort of fluff & misdirection.

    Naw, just reporting their words, no need to redesign their message. :P

    I forgot that these even existed.    I havent seen that many in my lifetime, maybe 2. Or was it the same one that I saw twice. I saw it when I was a kid.  Anyway, thanx for the blast from the past!  

    EDIT:  Yeah, not that you need any validation from me, but the Canoo version DOES look a lot like the Veedub!

    • I get they are using the Tesla idea to build 3 modules then snap them together, saving time and saving on wiring harnesses, etc.  But I don't think they are really coming out with any super affordable vehicle, they say $30k, but the F150 Lightning was going to be $39,995 and it ended up like $60k.   The ICE Equinox for the first half of the year sold 130,000 and the EV sold 28,000.  Losing that $7500 credit for sure will hurt sales and that EV will be a weak seller for a mass market vehicle. Ford Ranger sold 33,000, Maverick sold 86,000 for the first half of the year.   Even if this new EV truck sells half as many it is 120,000 sales, most of which will probably just be stolen internally off other Fords.  And the Escape starts at $30k and sells 130k units now, they are just swapping product. What the Ranchero won't have is Rav4 build quality, Rav4 reliability or Rav4 resale value.  Ford just announced their 96th recall of the year, there is zero quality control at this company.  My work vehicle has 3 recalls on it right now, the left front door has needed replaced for a year because the door checks are faulty and pull out the spot welds, but they don't have doors to replace it. Same thing for a coworker of mine. What the universal EV may do however is give a 2nd life to an electric Escape and Explorer and the Mustang can move to this platform because there is no way the bean counters will be able to justify spending money on a new Mustang.
    • You are right.  Not every American is disgusting and ugly.  I am wrong to paint everybody in that negative light.  There are many nice Americans that didnt vote for this shyte.  And Ill gladly accept your invite. As I hope you'll accept mine to come to Montreal and Ill show you my city.  For real.   But I will decline that invite temporarily.   51st state rhetoric and unwarranted tariffs on my country warrant me to think about my country first.  Red States follow Trump's word and most folk down in those states now view Canada as an enemy because education is sorely lacking...   Trump has hidden ideas for those tariffs on certain Canadian products.  Lumber, steel and aluminium mostly.  And he has convinced many in those fields that Canada truly is an enemy.  I do not respect that. Also...yes, the internet is full of mis and dis information, but I can filter our the nonsense.  But when I see California and New York sponsored (Blue States) travel ads on MY Canadian television stations telling me they miss my tourism...that only infuriates me more...    Why? Well...I know that my fellow Canadians have mostly stopped from travelling to the States, and all that tells me about those adverts is that California and New York only miss my tourist DOLLARS.  Not that they give a shyte about the welfare about MY country.  Do NOT spend advertising dollars begging me to come back for my money, spend that money FIGHTING Trump and his regime...  THIS is what Canadian tax payer money bought for advertising in those Red States   THIS is what Canada as a country and as a people communicate to try and educate...       Keep your phoquen golf balls...   Apologize because your leader is a tyrant and you dont agree with the 51st state rhetoric. But do not tell me that.  Fight in the streets that you do not agree with the 51st State rhetoric.. .  Promise to fight for your freedoms. Dont beg me to come because you miss my tourist dollars and you will go broke.  Boo freakin hoo.    Do not tell me that Hollywood wouldnt be Hollywood without Canada.  Shout that out loud so TRUMP... could hear you.   SHOW it by fighting BACK at Trump!!!     Again...dont tell me that Trump is trying to make enemies out of you and me. I know that. I aint stupid. But YOU fight back in your OWN country.  California has got 2000 miles of beach coasts.  Well...so does Canada. More actually. And its about time that we...CANADIANS, discover our OWN country. Time for us to love OUR country. You can start loving your own country. Start by respecting each other rather than the almighty dollar... So yeah...Im sure not all Americans are ugly.   But American culture has turned to shyte. To which I say no thanks to!!!     PS:  Huge contrast on how each culture has decided to approach this.  Its like our country is a joke to you folk.  Its like you folk dont even respect your own society so why the phoque am I asking you to have empathy for my country when you guys dont even care for your own???!!!      PSS: Yeah...I know there are public outcries.  The news do not cover that.  Make it so that the news DOES cover it...    Your outcries do not go far enough...  Your society is still to selfish... 
    • Both Parties have FAILED America. They both agreed to taxation on Social Security in the 70's when it had none and was solvent. They both agreed to allow borrowing against the SS money to give to the 1% of Defense spending. Yet the BIGGEST FAILURE of both parties is the decades they had to clearly put in place a better way forward for immigrants to come to this country, work hard, pay taxes and get to being an honest citizen. End result is that both Republicans and Democrats have failed this country in more ways than one and should have to pay for their wasteful ways. The American auto industry is at a cross roads that will determine if they live to 2030 or not.
    • While the News can be deceptive on what is going on as they take advantage of the 73 IQ Idiot47, your right not everywhere is totally nuts and I am happy that we still have places that embrace the multi-cultural world we are in. Will be interesting as ICE has stated they will be coming to Washington this weekend and will spend the next few months getting rid of criminals. So far I have only seen a ton of hard workiing people, going to be interesting to see how people respond to this. This was back in June and ICE quickly left the state, so be interesting to see what the news covers this coming rest of August here: Anti-ICE protesters clash with SPD at Federal Building | FOX 13 Seattle
    • Come down to middle of America. I'll buy you a beer here and we can find a classic car show to roam around. It isn't as ugly as you portray it to be. I'm sure it's also beautiful in the PNW where @G. David Felt lives and the Pittsburgh area where OUR leader resides, @Drew Dowdell. There are so many good people from these parts. Don't let the internet make you think everybody everywhere is jacked in the head. The internet can be very powerful and can portray many things that are skewed. There are certainly bad people everywhere, but I don't think there are as many bad people around as you think.
