I don't think that one in the video does. The deck looks too fixed and high.

Well the bed certainly moves, as you can tell where it has changed positions in regards to those stainless tool containers he is accessing. Whether it tilts too is the question, to which one could observe that the end of the bed is beveled, as to lay flat against a road when tilted down.

The one in the McLaren video was a dedicated recovery truck, the flatbeds used for building supplies in Europe don't have a sliding bed but they do have sides that fold up. Police would have told the recovery company that they needed to bring one with a crane on it.

The scoop style tow truck that only lifts one axle seems to be common in the US, they do exist in Europe but they're not common outside of truck towing.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that’s before rebate, and they’ll use the rebate as a “look, you can get one for 40k!” They’ve kept the interior options pretty standard across motor battery options for R1, at this point adding a bunch of variation would hurt profitability more than being in more customers.

I’d be surprised if EPA range is under 230mi and curious if they’re going to offer a single motor variant, seems like a good way to move cost/profitability in the right direction. For a smaller SUV should still be capable enough to not feel slow and eke out a little “off-road” abilities.

Is this a 500 or 350? I'm not very up on Lexus, wish I took another pic or two to give it justice. Normally don't catch my eye but sone of the lines at the right angles really made me like it.

You should hear the exhaust note! I love the LC500, great vehicle, great engine, great exhaust great design. Interior is meh, and weird, but uses great materials.

I've seen a few vids but been a bit. I doubt they depreciate into my price range like the F type though. That, and while I think it's more adult/refined, I've already kinda figured out I think I prefer FI over NA.

Took the H2 to get a minor cosmetic repair done ahead of me getting it prepped for sale. Debating if I bother putting on the pre cut PPF I bought a couple years ago and never did on it. Decide if I try to include any riding gear free etc. (Wonder if $150 gauntlets would get 50% value sold alone)

500. Shame that engine isn’t used more often and in sportier, more interesting cars (like a proper ISF).

I predict that, like the model 3/y, that minimum price is going to be a unicorn specced vehicle you wouldn't want anyway that they'll build for about a week. I'm thinking mid-high 50s is more realistic.
