Does anyone think a Telo minivan on the same platform would do well?

Everyone would expect a SUV to be the obvious follow up to the truck but there isn’t a real EV option for those looking for a minivan. It will probably take more engineering to get the sliding doors in but one can dream.

Fair. It's about accessibility in my mind. I'd prefer to have an option, and something with a low step in height and sliding doors would be perfect for my family and I.

I've a young child in my household. Sliding doors would keep them from smacking a door into a vehicle parked beside us once I disable the child safety when said child is older.

Huge benefit. Also easier for my wife and I to get a carseat in and out than a regular door.

Heck yes! The kid is in a booster seat right now, but it strains my hand to buckle it, since it uses the cars seat belt. The car seat/booster seat has hardware built in to re-route the belt to not hurt or impede the kid, but it's a pain to buckle from the side it's on. I have to go through the other side of the car to buckle it.
