Unless someone is a magician the wheels have to go somewhere. Either the axle width is like 8' and the wheels are outside the bed ''body" or the truck is 6' off the ground with the wheels tucked well under the bed. It could be the bed is only 3' wide so you can afford no wheelwells!
Since none of this appears feasible, I suspect there is a lot of smoke and mirrors and unrealistic "display trucks".
Unless I see a working prototype with my own eyeballs and can touch it I stand by these statements.

So go watch the video. Heres a couple of still from the video. You can't see the dimensions from the bed from this?. Working prototype?. Well a few hundred people went for a test drive in the truck. Lots of videos on line from them as well.
Heres the port where he plugs the electric ATV into the 240 volt to charge.

Looks like its only a little wider than that sport quad which most arent even 48" wide, so that puts the trunk barely at 4ft.

I don't know how wide the box is. The truck is standard width at 78.8 inches.

What the heck? I take the weekend off and go enjoy the beautiful Florida keys only to come back and find that this thread has exploded?
Ugh, that thing isn't even a truck. It's an overgrown station wagon. It's a small "bed", both in length and width, which is the biggest benefit of a pickup truck. The other is high enough curb weights so that the tail doesn't wag the dog. Anyone know where this thing weighs in at yet?

Itchytoe asked "Anyone know where this thing weighs in at yet?"
I've looked at what specs are out there so far and see no weight listed. I'd like to know too.

The bed length is 6.5 feet. Looks to be about 54 inches wide..ish.
Interesting that some of the critiques are coming in as it being too heavy. Reviewers like motor one seem to feel it is about 450 kg heavier than an F150.
Time will tell.

So it's a short bed flareside that's only good for about a 8,000 pound camper behind it? Eh, I'll pass.

So it's 1000 lbs heavier than a conventional pickup. Wow, that's heavy.
