No doubt there are a few companies that had at least one eye on attracting venture capital and the other eye on getting acquired. Lordstown was (is?) not one of them. They were focused on commercial applications where the hub motors would have been a non-issue. Can’t say whether they would have presented a better or worse cost position, but there would not have been a capability issue for the fleets they targeted.
