“But I have no doubt Matt will be hooked on shitty old Jeeps for the rest of his life, and that makes it all worth it. Because I’m going to need someone to call for parts.”

Laugh all you want, but (1) they’ll sell, and (2) pay for engineers and product development.

NEWtendo!

I’m at 90 min/day. Cost of suburb living and city paychecks. That much more sleep a day is mind boggling.

Yeah but they make some money in overcharging for gas, too. That can help soften the hit.

That’s a lot of money they’re not investing in product quality.

It’s a reliability race to the bottom.

The major range cost for the additional HP is just the weight of the motors — it’s not practical to run it at 1000 HP, or even 400HP, for more than a few seconds on your trip. Reducing their size to 400HP won’t double your range. I doubt it’ll add more than 15-20%, and only for drivers that actually floor the pedal.
