Notification set. Maybe we'll find out some more production model specs.

Going to definitely watch this!

The way they’re slowly releasing new information bit by bit is both frustrating and brilliant. I am constantly checking the forums for updates. I am constantly thinking about these vehicles! I want to know everything now but I also don’t want to ruin the surprise!

I 15 headed to Las Vegas, Leno Passed us in his 3 wheel Morgan:

It's like we all bought saddles but don't own horses.

Gas fuel tank capacity of 15 gallons for the Harvester.

Did I understand correctly that the towing capacity drops to 5,000 lbs when you get the harvester??

I caught that too. Disappointing. That’s the low end for me, but not a deal breaker. I was happy with 7k, lets me tow most vehicles on a trailer with a little headroom.

Appreciate you confirming. Disappointing for sure, I was really hoping to tow a lot with the Terra. I was finally getting excited about having an EV truck with the latest tech that could actually tow more than ~125 miles.

Yes, that is correct.

I feel like that could possibly be tweaked by the time it goes on sale. Lot of time between now and 2027

 

[Ajangel]

Alright, so here's the deal: under 10,000 pounds of towing? Seriously? That's, like, ancient history. 7,500? Okay, maybe we can work with that. But 5,000? Come on! That's basically Explorer, 4Runner, Telluride numbers. I'm totally scratching my head because I reserved the Terra Harvester, and I figured it'd tow like a truck, not some SUV/crossover thing. Now I'm thinking, forget the range, I'm going full electric just to get some decent towing power.

Very different battery chemistries between the two, the EV gets nickel metal hydride? Is there another BEV using NMH?
