16 sheets of 1/2" 4x8x10' of lightweight drywall, 1024 lbs. Also had 2 bails of rockwool in the back seat area.
Truck acts like it's not even there. I find the ride quality is even nicer with some weight.
Since I do not have the sketch app,
I took several large paper clips, tied some red ribbon and clipped them on the vents. Nothing like a nice visual showing air flow...

I looked into a battery BU system/solar charger where I could add my own solar, portable panels/ground mass mounts, brackets on my deck railing as I have the space and use the system in my garage to top up charge the EVs daily and can also remove the garage mini split from the main panel and run...
I'm not hating here... I just required more info as to make an informed decision like the lightning. I saw the lightning and said one day I will have one. Ran numbers and configured specs 2 years before purchasing. Picked it up just how I wanted it spec'ed.
Watched 3 ev competitor trucks coming...
I can completely see that. Take the battery from the lightning and place it in the bed of a conventual truck, it's MPG from the weight and tail squat aerodynamics most definitely make that truck have a 270 mile range before gas tank refilling.... I couldn't resist the facts

The best part... Guess what assembly line employees? When you start to build these in a couple of years you will have temperate air in the factory. No more sweating as much..... "Soon". :clap:
I wouldn't want the truck to try and override me during towing... Lanes opening up for exit on and off ramps, single lane opening up into a double, double lane dropping lines to left or right merge into a single lane, I need to take a viewable turn a little wider, blah blah blah. I hate it...
What I would like to see your team of great minds do, (not being sarcastic, I enjoy watching Martin's rebuild projects as it is very educational for me), is you have to go to the junk yard and grab a leaf, sol ev, really any smaller EV battery or a hybrid battery, build a an ambulance like...
I do commend all of you on your innovative approach and willingness to experiment.
What you are proposing is great for charging desserts but we all know in actuality the cost efficiency just to run the generator is equal to some rates to fast chargers.
However hauling a generator vs. 20 to...

For the rare occasion I forgot to press the "ok" to keep it in sport mode. I can easily tap one spot on the screen to get back to drive mode then tap to reactivate sport mode... Just be ready for a jolt of...
