No need to go back and forth over it

Wow. 860 lbft of torque, 4 motors AND 4 transmissions! That's wild. 6" more fording depth than the gassers too.

You would want it to have the full EQ visual treatment?

Last night my daughter needed to charge her Bolt, but my son had beat her to the charger, so she went to back to the old fashion method



She was able to get enough juice overnight to get her through two days

turns out the range is indeed WLTP, so a good 20% or more higher than its EPA numbers would be. Figuring about 250 if converted to EPA.

I hope this is successful, I would hate to see Fisker disappear off the map

0-60 is weak on the G, but 250 mile out of a 116 kwh battery isn't that bad. Rivian gets 321 miles of range on its quad on 21s or 274 on the A/T 20s with a 135kwh pack although both will do 0-60 in the 3s. Box is going to get bad efficiency
