Tops come off. Now with enough time and wrenching I am sure the doors could as well.

If your comment from earlier on price holds then no…  
Plus the size seems to be different segments based on autoblog story.

I think it will compete against the defender as well. I think all four cross over price points so it will be a question of size and styling.

So Cadillac just announced the Lyriq… who wants to bet this is the same platform as the new Hummer?

🤮  
I watched this reveal live last night and what a dissapointment. The questions were all softball and all of the tech will be out dated by the time this hits the road in almost three years.  
I hope land rover makes an electric defender…

I loved the presentation! Afterwards I immediately took a bunch of money out of my checking account and transffered it to my brokerage to buy more Tesla stock.

I like this feature, wonder if it will be utilized at speed like how some sports cars have. IE opposing at low speeds and in tandem at high speeds.

My Z had this back in the day, but it could have been considered more of a pre-computer controled stability system than a performance enhancing system. Now we have all sorts of sensors and processors to accomplish the same without rear steering. But combining rear steer with modern computer control could be interesting.
