Motor Trend, August 27. Mostly a rehash of previous information. One comment they say (which may be an error), larger battery can be added later by owner. Other articles I have read says this can only be done when the truck is ordered, from the factory. They talk about testing the wraps under hot and cold conditions. Another thing mentioned which may be old information, is that the factory building in Warsaw, IN is still empty.

I know a little while ago they said they were working on the building, demoing concrete to pour new stronger concrete where machinery being placed needed higher strength. I figure by now they have moved in and started testing some of that machinery at least.

Yea, I've seen interviews with their chief engineer and he explicitly said that will not be the case. The high-voltage system will not be user serviceable.
