 Hi, this is MXUX, this is a quick video on some new information, some leaks and some other information that's come out on the Lordstown Endurance after the Hindeberg Report. So let's just get going with this and move on to the slides. All right, we got some information on the battery, there's going to be an eight-year warning, I have a little more information on this later. The battery will be replaceable and will be upgradeable, so it's not structural like the Tesla. What they're thinking of doing now at Lordstown is they may take it back and use it in residential applications like the Powerwall for Tesla, but I think it's pretty cool they're going to be able to replace the battery. It's going to be grid-capable and bi-directional as an option. So in other words, you'll be able to feed power back in the grid, I guess, and you'll be able to power a house with it and so forth. You guys can look that up for sure, but that's some new, I think the fact that it will be replaceable is a big deal and upgradeable as new battery technology comes into play. All right, on the body of the endurance, there will be variations. They have what's called a bed-delete body, which is the king-cap only without a body, so you'll be able to put a flat-bed body on it or the toolbox with the tool rack with the ladder rack on top or I would imagine a small bucket truck, a bucket assembly on there or whatever. There's going to be a towing in a trailer package. It is going to be snow plow-capable and it's going to have they're working with the people that build the snow plow fittings to put the plow on for the Silverado so they'll have a kit that you'll be able to set up a snow plow on it. So this is exciting. It doesn't have to be a pickup. It can be anything you want and of course you got the snow plow. So there you go. All right, the initial run for the truck is going to be for fleets and it's going to be a work truck. It's going to have vinyl seats and rubber floor mats and it's going to have limited options. I personally like the idea of vinyl seats and floor mats because it's a truck. Yeah, duh. Anyway, but this is the initial run and this is for the fleets. Again, I don't have a problem with that. The rest of the interior is going to be pretty much the same. What they're going for is an affordable work truck. It's not a lifestyle vehicle like the Tesla Sabre truck. So this is like, I remember back in the day when you bought a pickup truck. Guess what? You got vinyl seats. You got rubber floor mats. It's great. This is great. This is like a throwback. I personally like it. Three year 36 miles, 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warning and an eight year 100,000 mile battery warning, which is pretty much standard in the industry now. Again with that swappable battery. All right, these are some more body specs. They've been testing it and the truck go work in three feet of water. So anybody that's thinking of going across any streams or anything, there you go. Three feet of water. They're building their own proprietary heating and cooling system for the battery. They're not going to use anybody else's system, I guess, but anyway, this is supposed to be a pretty big deal. They're not going to have a proprietary charging plug. I don't know the plug variations, but it's going to be one of the standard plug variations. They're going to have level one, level two in DC fast charging. So, you know, they're going to use third party chargers. They're not going to put their own charging network in. So, but it'll be a universal kind of charging set up. For all you guys down there in Texas, you can lift it. You can put a lift kit on the truck. Cool. All right, some more body specs. They're going to have an infotainment system. I don't know if it's going to be Android Play, Apple Play or whatever, but that's part of the deal. They're going to have over-the-air updates, you know, just like Tesla. They're going to have telemetrics. It's going to give the status and send the information back to the fleet headquarters as far as the repairs, the motors, you know, if there's any problem, most likely location of the vehicle and speeds or whatever the case may be, but it's going to be a connected vehicle. The vehicle, I guess with that bi-directional option, is capable at this point with the battery capable of powering a home for a day and a half. Everybody down there in Texas day and a half. And they're doing, they're still in the process. They're at the betas. They're almost there. They're doing improvements along the way. So it's about 90% there, but changes coming as well. Okay, now, you know, this chick with the fake accent, she's talking about making fun of the motors and I don't want to get into it, but anyway, she's ill informed. They did 20,000 miles of in-house testing on the motors, the hub motors. The manufacturer has done a million miles of testing and they've done drop tests and they've submerged them in water. They've submerged them in mud. They've done shop tests on them. They've done all kind of stuff. So there's a million million miles of testing on the motors and they've done 20,000 miles of testing in-house on the motors, on the mule and the prototype truck. So that's 1,020,000 miles of testing. There's one moving part in the motors. That's the rotor. That's it. It's the hub that the wheel goes on. Now this came through in the conference call and their earnings call, which I want to do a video on. I don't know if I'll have time and the Goldman Sachs analyst goes, well, when you get a flat, do you have to take the motor off? People. No. You do not have to take the motor off to fix a flat. The hub of the wheel fits right on the hub motor, just like a regular, it's like a brake drum. Look at it, it's like a brake drum. You know how you built a multi-tire and a brake drum? That's how you do it. That's how you take it off. Another analyst said, well, are you going to have a spare tire with a spare motor on it? No. You don't need the motor. That's not how it works. The motors part of the truck, it's like a, just look at it like, and I plan on doing another video on this as well, as a drum brake. Okay. It's the same kind of thing. Badge in a 62 Buick with drum brakes on it. Not this brake, drum brakes. That's what it is. Okay. I could not believe that these analysts from these Wall Street bankers are asking these questions. It was shocking to me. It just shows you how ill-informed everyone is. You know, these guys are so busy engineering this truck and building this truck and getting it out in September. You know, no one's getting a word on all these things. There's just three electrical connections to the motor. And this is some news that I got from my sources. They have tested, you know, the prototype by guessing the betas on the track. They have tested them up to 120 miles an hour. So they're going to limit these fleet trucks electronically to 80 miles an hour. But this truck is capable of going 120 miles an hour at least. Okay. Now this is the Lawrence Town Motors endurance versus an ICE internal combustion engine truck. So they say there's going to be $20,000 in total cost of ownership over the life of the truck. So it's already $20,000 cheaper based on that. It's going to have a 250 mile range, which is five times what an internal combustion truck is. 72% lower maintenance costs. Again, no transmission, no oil changes, no spark plugs, regenerative braking, lower braking repairs. You know the drill on this. They have done simulated crash tests and they're going to do the real crash tests on the beta. I guess it's the beta, but the beta body. But they're already near, I mean I think they already have a five star in the, don't quote me on that, in the simulated computer generated crash tests. They're expecting a five star crash rating. You know, you got the bed in the back, you got the front in the front. I mean this thing that I'm sure it's going to get a five well. It's four-wheel drive, 5,300 pounds. It's the lightest full-size fleet pickup truck there is. And with the motor governed to 80, it's a 5.5 second zero to 60 mile per hour speed. And as I said, it can go faster. And it's got the fewest moving parts of any pickup. Now I just want to say I was looking at, I think it was a Ford hybrid electric ice truck. Oh my god. It looked, the schematic of it looked like a fighter jet. I mean they got an electric motor in the back and then they got a battery to the side. Then they got an ice motor. Then they got a transfer case. I mean there must have been 10,000 parts, additional parts just for putting this electric motor into this F-150. So this thing has four moving parts, the wheel motors, as far as the drivetrain goes. That's it. Fantastic design. Alright, some more specs. Tightest turning radius of any full-size pickup, king cab, 2,000 pound payload max at this time. You know, it might change, doubtful. Towing capacity in this model, the first run is 7,500 pounds max. Could change, not likely. 20 cubic foot frunk in the front. It's waterproof and it has an outlet in it. Okay. And what they're saying is it's a familiar form factor with a radical drivetrain and battery. Okay. And now they're still working on the battery and they're putting the battery plan in. You see they got it, we're in. But they're talking about 109 kilowatts to 117 kilowatt battery. Still in development. They're getting the cells just like Tessa. They're putting the battery pack together themselves. And again, this battery pack is going to be removable and interchangeable. Now I don't think it's going to be swappable. It's going to take a little more than, you know, just pulling in some bay and having a robot change it up. But it is going to be replaceable. So I think that's just a great option. I mean, you know, the truck could last a really long time under those conditions. Anyway, let's move on here. The motor, they have, they have regen braking. Again, some of these analysts during the earnings call were asking, well, will it have regen braking? These analysts, these Wall Street analysts, I thought these guys were, you know, Jack the lad, they don't even know what the hell they're talking about. Anyway, not only does it have a regen, it's really good at stop and go driving with these particular motors. And again, you don't have all that inertia and all these moving parts having to spin up to move the wheels. You got, you know, you can understand how that works. Very rugged four-wheel drive system. So each wheel has its own controller, and then there's a master controller, I'm sure, for the truck itself. But they have computer control traction, you know, ABS system. If you can see from some of my other video, if you watch my other videos on Lordstown, I got a few of them. If you watch them, guys, you'll understand all these things. This torque vectoring I went over in detail, this is a fantastic thing. This computer control motor is going to give you this torque vectoring, which is something they use on F1 race cars, okay? And it's going to have obviously electronic stability control, which is going to tie all these systems together. This, you know, this is going to be a really safe vehicle, I believe. I mean, between all these computer controls and individual motors and having each wheel individually controlled and the crumple zones, I mean, a really super, super safe vehicle. Anyway, the people that have driven it said it handles like a sports car, which it should because it is like a sports car. It's got low center of gravity. It's got the four-wheel drive. It's got the torque vectoring. It's got the traction control. It's like an F1 car. Okay, there's, and the people that have talked said there's no sway in the body when it's turning. And they said there's no issues with it rolling over in a crash or anything like that because the center of gravity is so low. And you can look at the Tesla crash test and say same type of thing. Gross weight. I don't know what GVWR is. It's 6,000 pounds. That's not final. I think that's the gross weight. I'm not sure what that figure is. You guys got to look that up. There's a towing receiver. The frame, as they say, they say it's practically indestructible. But anyway, there'll be a, you know, probably I'm sure aftermarket towing receiver, but there's also going to be an option for a fleet to have a towing receiver installed during the manufacturer. Regenerative braking is standard. Again, these Wall Street analysts. What does it do? I can't believe it. Okay, there's a 15-inch ground clearance on a truck. And again, for you guys in Texas can be lifted. Any, basically any lift kit you could put on a Silverado, which is my understanding, not from them. You can put on this truck. So I think that's pretty cool. I don't know. I think the Rivian isn't going to have this feature. I think the Rivian and the Tesla truck are going to have an air suspension. Anyway, you know, talking about the Tesla, this truck has a solid rear axle. And that's for telling. Tesla's going to have independent rear suspension with airbag suspension. And according to my research, I don't know how that that's going to be a real feat of engineering to get that to work with towing. Anyway, that's what they say. And they're going to have on-board battery charging outlets so you can charge your work tools or whatever, 110 volt 30 amp circuit right now. That's what they have planned. But again, this could be subject to change, but there's going to be outlets on the truck is what they're saying. Now, this is Lordstown Motors versus Ford, Tesla and Rivian. Well, first of all, Lordstown Motors is going to have the first pickup truck. Right now, Lordstown has the capability to build more vehicles than either of these, any of these. Okay, their plan is bigger. It's better. It was the number three plant in GM's crown. Okay, I had some video later of this plant. I can't, I don't think anybody understands how cars are built, were built. How big this plan is. Anyway, Ford is building a special plant to build EVs. It's a small, it's like a sub plant in Detroit. Rivian, we still don't know. I did a video on this, who will be the first pickup truck. You guys should look at it. Each other Rivian plant, they're hand building cars in the background. I don't know. Anyway, Lordstown Motors is going to be the first one out. It's going to have lower pricing. And the hub motor drive train is a major advantage of the Lordstown Motors. I think this is going to be one of the keys. I think it's the best drive train in the electric vehicle market, honestly. I mean, it's a revelation. Now let's talk about lower pricing. You know, the Cybertruck, they got, I don't know, 600,000 pre-orders. Who knows how many will come to fruition. But they've got a lower end pricing on that of like 40K. I just want to remind everybody. When Tesla announced the Model 3, they were taking orders. They said 30K. There's going to be a 30K Model 3. Never happened. I mean, remember, there was like hidden on the website. You could have ordered one. Nobody even knows how many they sold. They took it off completely now. I'm going to predict right now that's going to be the same thing with the Cybertruck. They have already said, I believe the Cybertruck they've announced, and again, I did did a video on this, you can look at which one will be forced, Ford, Rivian, or Lordstown. It goes into this. But I believe they've already announced they're going to start with the expensive models first. And then my prediction, they'll never get around to making the cheaper one. It'll never, it's vaporware, my opinion. That's the Cybertruck vaporware. The 40K Cybertruck never going to happen, my opinion. Okay, now they've been talking about, oh, there's over 10. How many orders do you have? I got to tell you, I want to do a video just on this. You know, I've done some just some basic research. This is a massive, this is these fleet sales just for municipalities. I mean, they want an electric pickup truck. A lot of municipalities in the United States, they have mandates to go electric. Okay, they don't want a Cybertruck. They don't want a $70,000 Rivian. They want a work truck. Okay, they want the Lordstown motor. By the way, Ford's fleet sales for the F-150, are they enough? Down 26% this year, over the last 12 months or whatever. Nobody's buying an F-150. And they ran out of the chips to make the engine controls on the gas powered F-150. Now they even get worse mileage. No one's buying them. That's the number one fleet vehicle. So that's a distinct opening for Lordstown. But they do not want the Cybertruck form factor. And you know, tool racks won't fit on it and so on. I'm sure they'll be aftermarket things, but they want a truck. You know what I mean? And the Lordstown endurance really, really fits these municipalities. And you know, the municipalities can't put in letters of intent and all this. So and another interesting thing I learned is on the municipalities, I did not know this, many states have anti idling laws. You're not allowed to idle a truck for more than five minutes and in a lot of places. And this is mostly described as diesel trucks. But you know, you're not supposed to idle a truck. Now let me just tell you, I'm going to tell you a quick story here. They were doing some electrical repairs by where I lived and I had a chance to watch these guys do this and they have a crew of trucks that come out and they have a bucket truck and they have a crate truck and they have a trailer with a big spool of wire, whatever. And then the manager shows up and he's got a pickup truck. And this is not just the manager. This is the other trucks do this too on and off. But the manager, he shows up, the project manager, he shows up with a pickup truck, right? And it's got a big screen in it like a police car. It's got a radio and it's got all this stuff in it. You know what I mean? And I think he hooked some kind of device up, maybe a fan that was blowing air into the manhole they were working in underground or whatever. And one of the cool things was this guy gets out of the truck with a laptop and he opens it up and I happen to see the screen of the laptop. This laptop had a wireframe drawing of it of the street of every building accurately drawn in 3D wireframe above the ground and a full 3D schematic below the ground of every power line, sewer, everything. It was amazing. And and you know, and it was like X-ray vision as he walked around it would change. It was the most amazing thing, the detailed information they have. But getting back to the story, the thing is, they would work for hours on this thing. They would never shut this pickup truck off. And this is the same with a lot of power companies. And you know, they say Duke Energy is going to order these trucks. They are mandated by safety mandates. And when they run bucket trucks and other things, anything that has hydraulics or that needs a power takeoff for a tool or a fan or a light or whatever, they are mandated by their safety requirements to keep these trucks idling the entire time that project is underway. And this pickup truck and the other trucks would idle on and off. But this pickup truck, I don't know why I don't like I said, I don't know, this guy is running a fan or what, or maybe he need to make sure the radio was running so that he could call for help if somebody got hurt. Never turned it off. These electric vehicles will stop all that. It's amazing. Just the demand just in that one application. And again, the form fast factor of the Lord's sign endurance is what these municipalities want. Anyway, let's get back to the slide. 60 beta builds, they're testing. Some of them are going to be crash tested. Some are going to go to customers for feedback. Some are going to go on sales calls. They went in an affordable EV pickup option, which is what they're going for 52 K right now. It's evolving. Again, I don't I think the low cost cyber truck is vapor where you can quote me on that. Rivian forget it. It's not even I don't even think you can get one for less than 70 K. September 2021, which is a couple months away, they're going to be the release. Again, the municipalities really want this truck. And right now. And again, this is a forecast and you know, all these haters and these short I'm just going to say this is some with some of my research has come up with of internal forecast they have for demand. Let's say for the first year or the first first production run or the first couple production runs. I'm not sure exactly the timeframe. This may be municipal trucks, 250,000 to 400,000 vehicles. You know, people are so underestimating this truck in its capabilities. And in the demand for this truck. Unbelievable. Anyway, let's just move on to the next slide here. I think I got a couple videos coming up and I think they're going to start automatically. Okay, this is a makes you I'm going to play this video at double speed. This is the Lord's time plant making Chevy Cruises and this is the vehicle they made before they made the endurance and I just I don't think anybody has an idea of just how complex and big this facility is and this plan is and actually what it takes to really build a vehicle. So let's just start this. It's at double speed. Now you see they start with rolls of steel and then it's stamping. And this is all the same equipment that Lord's town motors has. And now they're putting the bodies together. And now they're dunking the bodies for the paint application. They're applying sealant to the bodies there. And they're the robots are paying it then the bodies come down. The trim, what they call the trim line. That's what that is. They put the dashes and the seats and everything into the bodies. So you can see here. And then now look how big that line is people don't people don't get it. They think this is a hoax. I mean, there's a robot's putting the seats in. There's a robot putting the glass in and again, Lord's time has all the same equipment is in place at during Lord's time. And look at the immensity of this place. Look at the complexity. It's like the Star Wars movie now that the ice engine line they don't need they're they're putting their electric motor line in there and their battery assembly plant in there where this is. And it's supposed to be like a clean room in there now. And now this girl here she's fastening the drive train in. But anyway, then there's the final car and I'm look how long that line is. Look how gigantic this plant is. And again, this is this is just coming in sheets of steel. And they used to roll one of these cars off the line a minute one a minute 24 7365. Okay, so that's an inner I'm sorry phone call that's an interesting now that gives you an idea of what this plant was doing right before Lord's time bought it and Lord's time got it less than a year ago. All this equipment was still warm. It's all in place and we're going to go to the next video here. I can get it to start right and it's just going to be a current video of the beta production at Lord's town. Okay, this is the latest video from Lord's town 316 showing the same plant building the beta builds of the truck that the short seller say they can't build. There's the floor pan. There's the robots. This is the same line that was in the cruise line. That's the same robots. Everything's been reprogrammed for this truck and you can see everything's working fine. Oh, it's not working. They can't build them. Well, these are the beta builds to build 80 of these. They're very close on these they're still doing changes to the specs but this is the car. I mean, this is the truck and you can see here now this is the roof going on. I'm just going to pause it right here. This roof is going on and this is a very special procedure to attacking it in place. The robots are using spot welds. You're going to see the next video that plays. They have a laser welding on the roof and Schmidt, the president of Lord's town, pointed out specifically what a big deal this is. It is cutting edge, state of the art technology, extremely expensive. Nobody else uses it and I can tell you from my own research, you know who else uses this laser welding technique? Rolls Royce does on the roof of the Rolls Royce. So let's just play this and you can see now watch it. It goes by pretty quickly here but these are lasers welding the seams on the roof. Impressive. Okay, it's coming up here. There you go. Pretty cool. Now here's the non-existent battery plant that what's his name? Hinda Brick says they don't have. There they are. There's a battery pack they say they can't make. All right. That's it. That's I mean, I don't know what else you need to see. September, they're on record. Okay guys, that's the video. I hope you liked it. I'm going to put a link, an informational link on the top of these videos if I can or at the end of these videos to my other Lordstown Motors videos. I don't know. I have four or five. If you watch them, you can understand there's very in-depth explanations there of these hub motors, especially, which people can't seem to grasp, but it was a hard concept for me to grasp because it's so unique. Anyway, I hope you liked the video. That's it. Going on long enough. Thanks for watching. Creepy music about the start.
