“There is a pretty good speed penalty. “

Further, I want to see it’s performance at 70mph with 4 x 250 lbs of good old American lardass on a summer day with the AC blasting.

Let’s add a small boat in tow and a cooler full of beer in the trunk.

Yeah, I know........

Another thing I’m curious about is the suspension. With the “high efficiency tires” that means they’ll be hard as rocks so the suspension will have to be able to take ever bump with no help from the tires, otherwise that thing will ride like a Radio Flyer with tubeless tires.

From what I can tell, they use standard OEM tires. The low end S model comes with all season tires while the high performance model has high performance summer tires. The suspension appears to to be computerized, with manual over rides for snow drifts and steep inclines.
