Just FYI, the 2nd and 3rd row seats in the R1S fold completely flat.
LR defender seats in later models fold flat as well because you can remove the lower cushions.
I don't understand this. Are you trying to say that if they start production in January of '28, it will take an entire year before deliveries happen? That's insane. It absolutely does not take a year for that to happen.
I seriously doubt those BFGs are going to be standard. They've already mentioned that there will be both road focused and off-road focused configurations.
I don't think most people have let it sink in that the reveal trucks represent maxed out option configurations.
They've said the max torque of the EV is 1000+ ft/lbs. Based on similar number from Rivian, we can guess on the order of 800hp. The gas generator will not produce anywhere near that kind of power.
Pretty sure this is just because it's a prototype. There's a video of the pickup tailgate where that trim isn't even attached at all - just a loose piece that the guy had to put in place. The final trim will almost certainly be automatic just like in a Rivian.
One configuration gets you ~350 miles and the other gets you ~500. Five hundred is more than 350 so it will be more expensive regardless of the cost to manufacture it.
