Power drops to 181hp...

Maybe underpowering the motor to increase range - or using a smaller one.
Do you think anyone will notice that the horsepower has been slightly de-rated?

It’s not like anyone has driven the 201 hp version!

A lot of us did. We had only a small a black-and-white TV until I was eight years old. Our first color set was a 19-inch RCA XL-100. It was a "hybrid" tube/solid-state design - the worst of both worlds. My mom paid 349.95, including rabbit-ears, UHF loop, and a "free" pressed aluminum/fake wood TV stand.
For 10 years I was the remote for the TV. You're welcome dad. :rolleyes:

Honestly, the power is not far off from where entry-to-mid EV’s might come in. This is not a performance line and 20 hp shouldn’t make a world of difference

Yes, and I recall I needed to hold one of those rabbit ears to boost the reception on weak channels! In effect I was acting as a signal amplifier. I guess that explains how I turned out the way I did!
My dad’s response, “Well how do you know that this didn’t somehow make you smarter?”

How do you even argue that?

I am thinking about getting the Auxillary Switch panel to make it easier to install aftermarket seat heaters and Fog Lights
I've also got the switch panel on my builds, but it depends on the quality. I want lighted, fused rocker switches, like this one:

and I'm happy to fabricate my own switch panel to get that if needed.
