America's pickup market runs on one rule: bigger is better. California startup Telo is running a different experiment.
The MT1 is literally the footprint of a two-door Mini Cooper — yet it claims an 8,000 lb tow rating, a 96-inch bed, up to 350 miles on the
106 kWh pack, and 0–60 in four seconds. Co-founder Forrest North, a former Tesla battery engineer, originally planned an electric motorcycle — until a street poll of 200 strangers showed 90% wanted the tiny truck instead. They pivoted in a week.As The Verge reports, the MT1 already turns heads at stoplights. Whether it turns wallets too depends on what those price tags say.
