work truck delay



this electric truck will not be available until 2020

knew earlier estimates i heard for 2019 sounded too optimistic

would not mind a two wheel drive version but it seems they skirt
around the passenger car safety reqs by classifying it as a heavier
truck so the two wheel version is unlikely as it might be too light

I want to say I saw it in a road rally with a TV crew in tow.

Jay Leno's Garage gets to play with toys before they can be seen
by a paying customer.

It really ran.

will look for that

offroaders are excited for the portal hubs and the precise power to
each wheel control they will have

also the approach and depart angles are really good

saw video of jay riding in a old truck fitted with a radial engine

yes visibility over the hood was reduced in the center

lots of smoke but the sound was good
