This is true. But you're all in and the thing hasn't hit the road yet. New models of any vehicle tend to have issues. Even Toyotas. And lithium batteries don't do so well when banged, rattled and vibrated heavily for hours at a time. And then there's the wiring/connections etc., that would have to put up with all of that as well. Never mind what would happen if the battery case cracked while you were driving through a 3-foot deep stream.
And I've seen first-hand what happens if a lithium battery gets smacked too hard.
So I'll wait and see what that thing does when you get it out say on the Rubicon Trail or Imogene Pass, or even just up the Deer Creek Trail on Boulder Mountain before considering that thing a real pick-up.

They've got their tech pretty dialed in. The battery is armored from the bottom and sides. Not sure if they go with the stainless they covered the car with or the usual titanium.
The 35 degree approach angle, 28 degree departure angle and 16" ground clearance won't hurt either.
