Episode Description

Rich DeBoss joins the Edison Motors crew to tell the full, unfiltered story behind stuffing semi‑truck parts into a Land Cruiser, towing a loaded Kenworth on a “closed course,” ripping bumpers off, and surviving third‑party testing that tried to break their hybrid.

From cardboard‑aided design to dyno runs that shredded rubber and impressed the test facility, Rich explains why electric axles, batteries, and open‑source control make this little LC hit like a 3406 Cat while terrifying tires, test drivers, and engineers alike.
