Well, he said it was going to be different.



Starts at $40k, though. That's impressive.

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.

To be fair, there's not a car out there with windows that would have taken that hit. Their problem was making a big deal out of it as if it were a compelling feature in the first place. It's not like most people need a window that can take a bullet.

No it's because unions along with bad Managment created the stupid cost and the crisis.

They paid back the bail out money with interest ahead of schedule so no idea why people still bitch about it.

How many miles that battery last while towing 6,000lbs? 100 miles is my guess.

I'd guess that 9/10 of these things will be sold to people living in major metropolitan cities who never tow anything.

300-400 I bet. Worst case, big load in winter, I bet you're looking at 250mi from the 500mi battery pack. More than enough to get supercharger to supercharger.

The YouTube channel, The Fast Lane Car, towed a little overland camper with the Tesla SUV. I think the trailer was just a few thousand pounds, it completely skull ****ed the range. I can’t remember exactly but it was something crazy, the SUV normal range is 300 miles(?) and it sucked it down to 100(?).

Yeah, as I said earlier in the thread, this thing's target market has to be Land Rover people. It's definitely not a work truck in its current form.
