Got some photos from the event in this InsideEVs post, along with the official photography. Here's the official press release: Bollinger Motors Reveals Four-Door B1 and B2 Electric Trucks Ferndale, Mich., Sept. 26, 2019 -- Bollinger Motors revealed the four-door B1 all-electric Sport Utility Truck and the B2 electric Pickup Truck today. These beta prototypes mark a major milestone in the company’s next steps toward production. The Bollinger B1 and Bollinger B2 are the world’s first all-electric off-road and on-road trucks. Built on the Bollinger Motors Class-3 truck platform, both trucks are built with the same DNA created by the team in 2017. Market-leading capabilities include high and low range,15-inch ground clearance, 10-inch wheel travel, patented pass-through door, and 5,000 lbs. of payload. In addition to their off-road credentials, the Bollinger B1 and B2 electric trucks are engineered to be road legal throughout the world. Founder and CEO Robert Bollinger’s vision to “reinvent trucks, not just electrify them,” took root in 2015 when he recognized the shortcomings of traditional trucks on his farm. “It was time we did something new,” said Bollinger. “I just wanted to build the best truck without compromise.” The Bollinger B1 and B2 reveal was streamed live and may be viewed at the following link: < > More details regarding pricing, manufacturing, and timing will be announced in the coming months.

The whisper number with the smaller pack was $60k. I guess not too many reservation holders raised hand for smaller pack. Bigger pack matching Rivian base price seems reasonable.
A small run production, it's necessarily going to be expensive. But hopefully, in return, you get a good value for money: long-term ownership that brings you joy and only a little sorrow (because nothing or no one is perfect).
