This is brutal. I have to wonder if this is part of the reason that Foxconn backed away from investing.

Not sure what is worse, the efficiency of the Lordstown Endurance or the quality of the writing of the article about it.

RIP Lordstown

Sucks to see a company fall apart like that…selling a vehicle with a 109 kWh battery for $55k sounds crazy today.

So the 0-60 time is a dog shit slow 6.3 seconds, the Rivian probably would do better than that while pulling another Rivian on a trailer. Not only that but the thing manages to have worse efficiency than the monstrosity Hummer. Stuff like this really puts what Rivian has done into perspective with how absolutely amazing it is.

Odds it wasn’t written by a human?

Lordstown was dead before it ever started.

In-wheel hub motors sound like a good idea. Guess they’re not. To be fair the horrible efficiency and monstrous 0-60 could be due to the ugly-as-sin nose on that puppy. Probably the truck is so self-conscious it would rather wear a black Phantom of the Opera T-shirt and write in its journal than get up and go.
