I didn't know that. But still, depending on their hub motor technology that software limit might be "hiding" hardware RPM limits to the motor. That would be different than your F250's software limitation. If Lordstown really is only software limiting much more capable hub motors, that would be really, really cool. It would be more like the Orbis Wheel than a QSMotor.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
