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.

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?
