Q&A Time!

How fast can you charge the configuration on the Escape and how fast can you charge the final configuration on the bus?

I believe you said you'd be putting the Tesla motors in series on a drivetrain on the bus, once it comes time to swap that over. Do you have any concerns about the fabrication and strengths required for that in the bus drivetrain vs the AWD approach going into the E-scape? Also, do you have any plans yet for tours/events with the E-scape once it's finished?

Did the fact that there was already a hybrid on the Escape platform factor in to choosing that vehicle, or just happy accident/didn't think about that at all? If it did, was there any considerations for using some of the hybrid parts on the build, too?

Is there anything with the E-scape project that you are worried won't scale up to the bus?

Are you planning on using a digital Dash?

Oh I'd love to see it go to a Ford dealership, just say it needs an oil change

will you do a top speed run and a 0-60 run? also if you are planning on to keep it around it would be really cool to see if you could do a 4 wheel steering on it :P Also what's the approximate range target for it at highway speeds?

Once it's fully working, would you consider some really dumb videos with it? For example, taking it to a ford dealershipnor a doing traffic light races lol

How safe do you expect the machine to be? Do you have any plans for the escape once you unelectric it?

What's involved with making it street legal? And what does your insurance agent think? Could be an episode all by itself.

Have you thought about using your skills and knowledge gained during this project to go to town on the Trabant next? And if so, why not?
