Had a great time celebrating the launch of @drivewithchip yesterday! ⚡🚗
Chip is a new all-electric "life utility vehicle" built for neighborhoods, campuses, resorts, and anywhere you don't necessarily need a full-sized car, including places you do.
A few things that stood out:
🔋 Up to 100 miles of range, with a top speed of 25 mph
💰 Starts at just $15k ($18k for the 6-seater)
🔌 Native NACS charging to get you juiced up in a few hours + can even charge from a standard 110V outlet
📷 Multiple cameras and radar to monitor traffic conditions
🧼 Washable interior that you can literally hose out
🎨 Tons of customization options for colors, seats, roof, doors, and more
📺 An optional front hood with a built-in TV and speakers (definitely one of the more unique features 😄)
One of the more interesting parts is Chip Go, a remote-driving service where a real human can remotely drive the vehicle for things like parking, pickups, or errands today, with the long-term goal of Level 4 autonomy in the future.
Pre-orders are now open with a $250 refundable deposit, and deliveries are expected to begin in 2027.
Big congrats to @jamesoniam, @ilanpenn, and the entire Chip team on the launch! 🎉👏
You’re still invited, and we finally let the cat out of the bag. Aaand… Just now realizing how awful that idiom is. But chipmotors.com… we actually love animals.
It’s been a long road getting here, but dang it feels good to get out of the garage. Thanks for noticing us on day one!
Can’t wait to see how everyone customizes their own 🤩
