Outlander State of Affairs 2022
Posted: Wed Nov 09, 2022 5:35 am
Hey everyone,
There are so many threads and so many pages on the Outlander, most of which are exploratory and detailed. I was wondering if someone who's got their finger on the development pulse of this platform could write up a state of affairs?
Think of it as from the perspective of a novice (not an engineer) who's looking to convert a vehicle using maybe the Outlander, in the the next year.
Really brief, really dumbed down.
The kind of thing I'm looking for is, what's the status on reverse engineering a given component, what are its relevant specs, how much momentum is there behind more work being done on it, and does it look like we're going to see a purchasable solution to it in the next short while. How suitable is it for its donor parts, and how close is the community to being able to hand that to a beginner and say "Yeah, this is a viable way to plan your build." My motivation is 30% personal (I might yank out my current setup and go with this), 70% just staying on top of the meta so I know what to recommend people to keep an eye on.
I feel like I'm moderately well informed about Tesla, Leaf, Prius, and Lexus parts, but there's so much to sift through on the Outlander it's too intimidating.
Anyway, anyone who wants to give an overview, that'd be appreciated. I might even take that and condense it into an Outlander landing page on the wiki.
