Hey guys, we've revolutionized the assembly of vehicles. Imagine this: we have a system where we build out some subassemblies and then mate them together at a later point. For example, we could build the chassis/drive components, then later on join the cab/box to that - kind of like we've been doing with body on frame pickups for a bazillion years! I am curious at how they've vastly improved the ergonomics lime they're claiming.
Copying tesla with the giant aluminum castings seems like a good idea for savings although I haven't looked at any postmortems on how that all has been going with Tesla. I guess time to buy some Alcoa stock. I'm curious how they're planning to bond all the vehicle grounds, aluminum is doable but requires special attention, could be a lot of electrical gremlins if they do it wrong. Also curious about the zonal architecture they implemented. Every OEM is in love with the concept, but the implementation is sketchy.
Sales of these 30k EV trucks are going to really depend on range. I can't find anything on that. Too short and all their utility is going to be gimped.
Overall, was disappointed, I don't think it remotely came close to living up to the hype. Seems about right for Farley's tenure.
