Great review! Did they have a Chicago address on file for you? I was under the impression we were out of the range for the Normal test drives but now I…I…I just don’t know what to believe
Agreed, and presumably there should be fewer chips needed given the centralization of controls/systems within an EV, so more sales booked per chip acquired.
W/r/t OP’s comment about the factory if anyone finds themselves in Detroit and has a chance to take the public tour of F-150 production at...
This is great stuff. Some spitball guesses here - Assuming the trip charge is 90-100% that suggests that the R1S with these 20” wheels (the worst for range) will have ~310-315mi range and the 21” wheels a bit more than that. (325?) 22” somewhere in between.
Everyone talking about the 20” truck wheels being no-cost on the R1S now - they (along with the bright and dark 20” options) are still $1,800 for me. Or was the truck 20” even pricier than the $1,800 upcharge for bright/dark 20s before and I didn’t notice at the time?

Exactly. I used to compile “development pipeline” lists like this for an IHS competitor in another industry and this just looks like the analyst’s best “educated guess.”
Better than random internet speculation (often we would have word-of-mouth data from other players in the item/project’s...
Great catch!!
It's obscene how excited I am by this. Was the single largest reservation I had about the whole thing. Now just to hope they don't obliterate range.
