“Lordstown Motors’ goals are to become the first electric truck to finish the race and to prove the capability of its unique design, which features four in-wheel hub motors that are the drivetrain's only moving parts.”

“We are standing up a car company from scratch and are headed for mass production so there’s a lot that needs to be done. The betas signal that we are at about 97-98% of the final vehicle - they are on track so we are on track for September.”

“Lordstown Motors Corp. said it already has begun metal stamping and welding for the Endurance All-Electric Pickup Truck prototypes, which will be used for testing. Full production of the Endurance pickups is slated to begin in September at the former General Motors assembly plant near Youngstown, which Lordstown Motors bought in 2019.”

“We must remember that in this segment, Lordstown Motors must focus on cost, as well as simple and reliable solutions for a work truck, rather than anything fancy that would additionally require a lot of time and resources to develop.”

“You couldn’t have picked a better place to showcase an electric pickup truck ready to sweep into its market niche. Lordstown Motors on Jan. 14 brought the alpha version of the Endurance to the gently sloping front lawn of its new West Coast office building on a corner lot in a technology and business office park.”

“We watch all of those pieces of data here because our culture and our people are very important to us,” Green said. “We take care of our employees. We are setting the company up for a long, fruitful future. It’s not fueled by how we feel, but it’s fueled by data. How can we make this the best place to work? Are we weak in any areas? We look at data points internally, but we take external data into consideration as well.”
