I will say. This platform has piqued my interest enough to reinvigorate my enthusiasm for CT. Its been dying on the vine lately...
Still, not enough to take SpaceCamper seriously at that price point.
I needed a good laugh this morning. Maybe the next GMC invention will be duck and snorkel capabilities when driving through a 4" puddle... all in the name of being a true overland supertruck of course.
I'm pretty sure we're going to be saying this about just about every attempt from domestic automakers for a LONG time. These efforts will never compete with Tesla because of the head-start and vision Elon had/has on EVERYONE. It will take quite some time, or a coups the likes of Operation...
H2 being the operative indicator here. Haha.
Man, now I feel like I've at least made some progress with my pops. Or perhaps it was his being 'forced' to live in Seattle for a few years at the end of his career... Oh the humanity...
Haha... his direct quote after oggling over the crab-walk feature:
"Yep. I'll pass. I struggle with the whole electric vehicle thing anyway, mostly because I don't think the technology is robust and stable yet."

Something of note... this is touted as an off-road monster. In the video the reviewer offers a base ride height of 10.1" of clearance... in 'extract mode' (when you get stuck) the suspension rises to a whopping 15.9" of ground clearance...
Yeah the bed hardly speaks 'truck'... even with a more traditional 'truck' profile than that of the CT.
Weird... CT feels more like a truck than a Hummer. Its a new day.
HOLY CRAP.... $80k for the base model. $113k for the model (only available in white) that comps to CT Tri-motor with <200mi of range.
NO THANKS!
Edit: now looking at the price-points, 3.5-yr trim walk, and all the selling points (mostly SOLELY available on the $113k version)... CT is a...
Who among us will put down another $100 reservation for this vehicle on top of their CT reservation?
That'd be an interesting stat to track... along with how these decisions may develop over the next 12-18 months...
