[I pulled a Thread Switcharoo so as to not hijack another thread] The importance of stopping begs a question: How does regen braking factor in? If regen only works on the rear wheels, can we expect ABS / Traction Control to apply front brakes simultaneously or something like that?

I appreciate all the knowledge that's been contributed in the thread. Advice from current EV owners, especially, is valuable to us EV n00bz. I reserved Slot #2 for a summary of some sort. Ideally it'll be a single place someone can the information they need for making a decision they won't...

Ability to correct yourself leads to wisdom. It's simple. Notice i didn't say "easy".

On the bright side, - They're Systems Thinkers designing an experience. - They know good audio quality is part of the experience.

That's a lot of body styles! If it's larger than a Maverick, it too large.

Not enough for what, specifically?

Plus fuel. The rate is 89¢/mi where I am. For a road trip (over 90 miles, presumably) that could add up. The last time I need to haul things a long distance I swapped cars with a friend who has an F-150 for a few days. I returned his truck full of fuel and gave him something for his trouble...

If there's a connected-car dongle I'd hope it wouldn't turn out to be a Trojan Horse for subscription features. The device would just need to be something that lets the app communicate the vehicle remotely, replacing the wired connection. Maybe it'd have GPS location built in, which would be a...

You misspelled "We build it. You make it". ;)

Now that's some optimism right there. Considering that $27,499 is "mid-twenties" I'd say that would be out of character.

The average daily cost to rent a midsize car in the United States is approximately $54, based on a general average for all car rentals. Edit: On average, pickup truck rentals cost $94 per day. However, specific deals can be much lower.

All that's happened here is I've conjured up a way to not make the buyer eat the cost of wheels and bumpers they aren't going to use. Ship the bumper, packaged, in the bed. Allow the alternate to be installed without creating a barely-used bumper that goes to waste. I think forcing customers...

I think so, yes. That's a matter of opinion. As I wrote before, I think doing that would be a mistake. It's wasteful. Selling an EV with throw-away wheels just plain isn't good look.

At their factory? Do you have a reference for that?

In some ways it simplifies and in other ways it complicates. Waterbed Theory and all... if you somplify at the production end you can crank out more Trucks. One way forces someone to order their Truck and wait. The other doesn't. That's an important convenience factor. If convenience and...

Early sets of stock wheels & tires could be sent back to Warsaw. After that, those wheels & tires could be used over and over as Transport Wheels. That way, eventually, packaged (not semi-used) tires and wheels can be installed at the Last Mile location, which could be the Delivery Partner's...
