No mention on load capacity. Sure you have a fold out bed to hold lumber, but can it hold the weight? What happens to the battery life with a proper load.
Not defending the car, but weight doesn't affect battery nearly as much as aero. If you had say 1000lbs of flat plywood you'd lose a small amount of range but if you instead had a 500lb dresser that created a bunch of wind resistance you'll lose far more range.
I'm only going off the reviews of other electric trucks. Weight seems to greatly affect their range.
Yeah one of the things that Ford did well with the Lighting was to initially advertise the range with an appropriate load. I don’t know if they’re still doing so, but it took some of the guesswork out for buyers who were actually going to use it as a truck instead of a station wagon.
Vaporware!
Ah, The Homer.
Now that is one ugly car.
It's funny because every statement Fisker makes to hype up his EVs makes me more skeptical they're gonna meet any of their claims.
Finally I have a place to safely store my 128 oz soda from Paunch Burger while I drive
