Are you able to disclose any of your plans . . .
. . . for a hybrid drive in the StarShip now or in the near future?
I posted in a parallel thread that, in agreement with JRMichler, this turbine powered Nikola truck cannot see a 1200 mile range with a 150 gallon fuel load and no plug in charging of the battery pack.
The StarShip could use a boosting electric drive to power up hills then return some of that energy back on the down hill leg.
Their website also tells of plans to have autonomous drive included allowing "robot trains" to be run by one driver. I'm not sure how the powers that be are going to see the hours of operation for the single human operator. Are the start laws going to allow autonomous drivers longer seat time since they aren't really "driving"?
