I'm not sure this has been posted yet. I couldn't find it in the search."The performance model will have a 200-kWh battery pack that could power the vehicle for 700-plus miles on a single charge. That'd be massively impressive, especially considering the vehicle's 7,700-pound weight. Triton says the base model will have a towing capacity of 15,400 pounds, while the performance model would bring that up to 26,000 pounds."Solar Firm Claims It Has An Electric SUV

The always deadly "If all goes according to plan...". :) And reservation money is not held in escrow, so if the company goes TU, you lose your $5000. Certainly not cheap at $140,00-$180,000. Be interesting to see if it actually comes to fruition.

$5000 down and the balance is due 5 days after. My, how blue the sky is today!

Very impressive. The technology is coming. Only rich people would buy such a truck. When they cost $45k, then we can talk. I would be happy with 400 horsepower, and a towing capacity of 10,000 pounds.

I’m not ordering one unless it uses it’s own proprietary exclusive plug to recharge.

I really hope it works out as it would be an incredible leap forward, but who in their right mind is going to tie up $140,000 for an undetermined amount of time. Given that they are only providing renderings, means that they are likely two or more years from having a working prototype and three to five from actually having a retail model. Thanks, but I think I'll keep my $140,000 invested (not that I'm going to spend that much on a vehicle in the first place).

Triton Solar, formerly known as Solyndra, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fly by night Enterprises made this announcement today in hopes of receiving their buyout offer from Elon Musk,,,,,,,
;)

But the 7700lb weight will make it a great Prius crusher.

They don't mention mileage towing, but no doubt it will be less. Probably significantly so when towing at max loading. But it is another step up in the electric vehicle development process. It's coming folks! :C

I think it's more of a another step in Photoshop vehicle development process. :) And, really, not very good Photoshop at that.

"With a $5,000 deposit, the first 100 customers will get a Founder's Edition that will have "unique additions to the standard specifications which shall never be manufactured again."

Do you have an address for me to send the $5k?

When they can put solar panels on the roof that can recharge that capability overnight, you can call me. Of course when thousands and thousands of owners of this rig plug in overnight and the whole region goes brownout, that will help too.
