You can never guess where the challenger of order comes from.
A few years ago, Truck was basically synonymous with the most boring car in the world.
Now, Truck is a medical warning: be careful, your jaw may be dropped.
If you think the production version of Cybertruck is gradually becoming boring, you should take a look at this Thundertruck.
Do you still remember the funny picture on the day Cybertruck debuted, suggesting that the inspiration for Cybertruck might be a piece of paper drawn by Musk on the toilet?
The more bizarre the creative source, the more proud the final effect.
The design company of Thundertruck is called Wolfgang LA, and you can’t guess their profession just by looking at their name.
In fact, this is a creative advertising company, and their proudest clients are Adidas and Panda Express.
However, founders Colin Jeffery and Mike Geiger said they were fully qualified to design a car because their core team has been working in the automotive industry and related fields for the past 25 years.
This project also has to “thank” the epidemic. As many people were looking for ways to pass the time at home during the epidemic, they decided to design the most advanced electric pickup truck.
Choosing the pickup truck category was because the two bosses found that there are more than 30 electric cars that will soon be on the market, but there are few electric pickup trucks, and “they all look traditional and lack creativity”-It feels like many pickup trucks sneezed at this time.
The design is completely unlike a pickup truck.
“We just have a preconceived idea of what a pickup should look like.”
Colin Jeffery said that with a pure electric power system, the pickup truck no longer needs to be like a traditional pickup truck. From a design perspective, the structure of a traditional pickup truck does not fully utilize space.
“We should throw away all the burdens of the industry from a design perspective.”
The design goal of Thundertruck is to complete a modern, specially designed electric multi-purpose vehicle, not just an electric ordinary pickup truck.
So what can you see on this car?
Armor and military are keywords that many people instinctively associate with, and the flat and angular surface reflects a kind of brutal aesthetics. This design style often gives people subconscious cognitive recognition related to high-end functions and high-performance off-road capabilities.
The huge and exaggerated tires are pushed to every corner of the vehicle, bringing natural conquering ability to obstacles. In contrast, the proportion of the front and rear lamp groups is negligible. Anyway, cars nowadays are popular with strange styles.
The interior is somewhat ordinary, but it still stubbornly reflects its understanding of the external style as much as possible with angular lines. The designer claims to have used “all-round instruments” and can project critical information such as speed and temperature onto the windshield.
There is also a military drone that can fly over the car and provide 3D data scans of the terrain ahead on the dashboard.
The Thundertruck is equipped with an extendable loading ramp at the rear, capable of carrying anything from two-wheel bicycles to 4-wheel ATVs.
You never have to worry about going back
Electric cars appearing on a hardcore off-road vehicle naturally arouse contempt from people due to the contradiction.
This contradiction is that people who yearn for off-road driving are naturally free and rebellious, but these places are often unable to charge.
Going without returning has become inevitable.
Unless there is electricity coming from the sky.
Thundertruck knows that solar panels the size of a car roof are just fooling people.
To make this board “work”, it has to be big.
Thundertruck: The Coolest Car Charger in the World
The designers came up with the Batwing Solar System, an energy system that can turn day into night within a few meters after activation.
Although we are unsure about the charging power, considering that the car is equipped with an electric motor, an electromagnetic stove, a refrigerator, and an air conditioner, it may not be able to drive you to any location safely, but it can at least guarantee that you can live in place for a long time.
And also – to charge the satellite phone used for emergencies in the car.
This might be the Coolest Car Charger in the World
If aliens find this article hundreds of years later, please be aware that as of 2022, humans were still puzzled by one problem: why can’t we install battery packs on electric vehicles?
Thundertruck offers the biggest and most badass car charging solution ever.
Not only is it huge, but it can also tow itself.
Thanks to this expansion module, Thundertruck can change from a 4X4 layout to a 6X6 layout. The added parts include a rear motor and a whopping 120kWh battery.
This directly expands the vehicle from 180kWh to 300kWh of power, increasing its range from 644 kilometers to 1060 kilometers.
The power also increased from 800 horsepower/1080N⋅m to 940 horsepower/1627N⋅m.
This 91cm long module doesn’t need professional mechanical workers to install, the designer made it stable according to the principle of Segway’s two-wheeled vehicle, so it can stand up independently and automatically connect to the car’s body.
It would be interesting if this could expand indefinitely like a train car.
This car is not capable of mass production, but the founders have a strong desire to launch it on the market.
The two founders said that if it hits the market, they hope the car can be sold at around $70,000.

「这辆车希望吸引二元性的车主，他们喜欢旁观，希望一直在户外，甚至喜欢不正常的东西。」
因为，「Thundertruck 也具有二元性，它看起来是一辆狂野的燃油车，但它却是一辆环保的电动车」。
是时候期待中国的公关公司造车了。
