Lordstown Endurance EV pickup deliveries will begin this year:
oxconn. The plant went for $230 million, and could have been decorated with one of those banners reading,"Under new management!" On top of that, Foxconn put down another $50 million for an equity share of Lordstown Motors that opened up a joint-venture development deal for commercial EVs for North American and international markets. That part of the deal should have come with its own banner:"There's a new sheriff in town.
A few days later, Lordstown Motors posted a picture of at least three pre-production Endurance pickups at the facility. The caption explained,"Thanks to our collaboration with Foxconn, our pre-production vehicles are rolling out of assembly and into diverse testing environments." This would be the second foray into pre-production that we know of, and everyone will hope it goes better than the first.
If Liu can be believed, we'll all be finding out within the next 11 months. When the factory sold, Lordstown execs said Endurance deliveries would begin one quarter later than planned, in Q3 of this year. Liu's new statement makes us think December could be more likely, especially if prototype testing has only recently begun.
If prototype testing goes well, we image we'll start hearing more about the Endurance come the middle of the year. Meanwhile, Foxconn will be playing its own EV hands after showing three electric vehicle concepts of its own, built on its Mobility in Harmony open EV architecture, and it also has a deal to co-develop and build a Fisker EV called the PEAR at the Lordstown, Ohio, plant.
