Yes, but if you read what they write carefully, they never say that they can go with long range and carry a full passenger load. If you compare it with domestic sub-compact cars, it looks as though its maximum range version will carry about the same as a 11k sub-compact car. > It > is not as sexy as the Tesla, but it is much more of a reply to peoples > needs than the Tesla and costs should go down as more are manufactured. And, it's still being designed, according to the manufacturers. Costs go up and performance goes down on vaporware cars, in my experience. Yes, it hit the auto show, but its not going to be produced for a year or more, and we all know how that can change things. Basically, who but a rich environmentalist would buy a car like this at 3x the price of a comparable gas engine car that gets 40-50 mpg highway?
