I'm wondering if these engineers are this far thinking.. The competition Cybertruck looks to be long lasting nickel in the body. The original Harvester was made to do work on the farm.. not a flash in the pan, wheelin and dealin, turn over, disposable, program obsolescence, pile of junk in 20...
I'm hearing rumors from catl. They have made big breakthroughs in lithium metal batteries. A gas generator won't last the testament of time, which goes against the heart of international harvester. People wanted a long lasting tough farm truck.
150 mile range... Probably less.. while others in 10 years might have 400+ range and cold weather resilient. The harvester could be dead weight you don't want. And the decision today to engineer it to be removable would increase sales.. why buy a brick ?
I'm interested in the Harvester because I live where it gets -20°F. But recently discovered sodium batteries do fine in cold weather. So, I'm thinking the harvester might not be as valuable to me in 10 years.
Do you think we if we choose Harvester now, we'll be able to convert to full EV battery 5-10 years later and get rid of the generator? Battery technology could change
2004 4-cylinder 2.3 liter Ford Ranger. Duratek strait 4 cylinder. 30 mpg with 390,000 miles on her. 3rd fuel pump.. trying to get to my brand new Terra!
Trap door in truck bed to access the fuel pump for removal. Failure rate is about 200k miles. The electric motor that pumps the fuel is hard to remove.
Everyone is fixated on having a drain cooler in the frunk or trunk.. but overlook the fuel pump Access.
Fuel pump Access is key for diy
With no dealerships.. wouldn't it be wise for them to have a trap door to the fuel pump from the truck bed? I hate how they all brag about the coolers like we're all alcoholics.
