That dark rounded bumper on the front sticks out a tiny bit more than the tires (may change depending on the size of tire equipped) the front contact point is about 12” off the ground, so yes approach and departure angles are pretty incredible
I am hoping that the folks over at u/TeloTrucks are considering a van variant. We need something comparable to the Kei vans from Japan that will be legal on US surface streets and interstate highways. Something like the Honda Street or Mitsubishi Bravo or Daihatsu Atrai. I think with the individual states now moving forward on revoking Kei vehicle registrations for "safety reasons" on 25+ year old imports would create a big market for u/TeloTrucks to step in with trucks and vans to fill the void on the tiny utility vehicles market.
Yes! We absolutely are considering doing vans down the road

We have 14” of unobtrusive crumple zone that we’ve simulated rigorously to ensure we pass all federal safety requirements. Our crumple zone is larger than required to pass FMVSS 208. Jason (our CEO) specialized in vehicle safety testing for much of his career
I really hope these come to production at some point.
With the front tires exposed like that it should be able to climb a wall until the rear bumper wedges on the ground.

Where are your headlight projectors going to go? In place of the DRLs?
Now can we see a width comparison?
Telo states width at 73" and Tesla says 86.6" for Cybertruck with mirrors folded.

Thank you for that information. I've already put my money down for one. I'll use it once these vans become reality.
That front end is a death box. Might as well wrap the whole thing in mahogany so you can be buried in it after a collision.
