Did Nissan Cover Up the Next Cube in a Bunch of Tech?

Teatro for Dayz

Nissan announced Monday that it would show in Tokyo a concept car that would be electric, charge devices and make all the kids search for it on TheInternet.web when they get home from school.

The Teatro for Dayz appears to be a Cube-ish subcompact, powered by electrons for some humans that Nissan's marketing team are calling "share natives." Nissan didn't detail the car's specifications, other than some pie-in-the-sky functions such as web cameras, LED displays on the outside and illuminated displays for something.

Interestingly, the car sports a steering wheel, pedals and won't be autonomous, which suggests that some of the car could be rooted in reality. The EV boasts a "short range," according to the automaker, and could actually be something that makes it on to the roads some day — hopefully without that name.

From concept to interior and exterior design, Teatro for Dayz is simple: a clean canvas. When the car is in drive mode, meters, controls and maps appear on a pure white instrument panel. When parked, Teatro for Dayz transforms into an entirely new device. The entire interior, starting with the instrument panel, becomes a live display for a generation wired for connectivity.

Nissan didn't include specifics on the car, including wheelbase or powertrain information. The wraparound windows look like something we've seen before. Same goes for the windshield and boxy exterior.

Nissan stopped selling the Cube in the U.S. in 2014 (although you can still find some new examples in dealerships) and the car was last updated in 2008.
