I am so happy with my cali but regret the long delivery times so I already ordered the 2030 one.

don't forget to take your charging cable out btw - it's the new "whoops, left my hookup cable in ..."

No, don't like that, I'm holding out for the T9 hopefully that will have 30" wheels, the 26" on the T8 look too small.

What’s with the boxy “pod” where the rear window should be? Back up battery?

I thought it came with a flux capacitor

The boxy pod on the back will be the small modular reactor that powers the thing, just remember to recycle your excrement to grow your potatoes!

Apart from the block on the back, I like it.

No, the back conceals an obligatory (since 2027) in Southern European campgrounds professional fire fighting system. The van itself is also fire proofed to the oncoming new safety standards and will be able to drive away on its own in the opposite direction of the detected fire.

Need a rear window and lower access for wheelchair.  
Does not appear to be a van, more of the next MPV to replace multivan.

On closer inspection how does the square bottomed gull wing door locate with the wheel arch it forgot to conform with?
