First Sight!! $30k midsize EV pickup Ranchero prototype spied 📸

The inside bed caught my attention. I'm wondering if that's a glossy bed mat, a spray, or a composite bed. It sure looks slippery and glossy. Kind of hoping the final product is matte rough finish. BTW, huge fan of composite beds here. They're strong and they don't dent or rust. The Santa Cruz had a composite bed, as does the Ridgeline.

I think it's just painted, no bed liner applied. My Silverado looked the same before I put a bed liner in it. My guess is steel, though no way to tell, or to know if that's a production intent prototype or not. I remember seeing the Slate Truck in person and being told the one they had for demo had composite body panels for prototyping, and they were not indicative of the production intent polymer panels.

AI generated prediction. I'm sure it will look more modern / futuristic than this.

AI definitely got a lot wrong here.

So talking to people who've seen it, the front slopes like a Tesla model y, but blocky instead of bulbous. It'll have mach-e style door handles as well. The holes in the camo for the headlights show you kinda how far the hood slopes down.​

That’s an interesting note about the door handles, since this prototype seems to have regular mechanical ones. I’d really prefer it to have the style shown in these pics
