That's fast. Still a tad to expensive for me.

Me too! :shocked:
But it's easily corrected with some correct PowerBall ticket numbers! :pray:

Lets just say I want to go from San Francisco to lets say Salt Lake City....
last time I looked there was no place to plug it in for a charge it up,
the only way it would make it there is on a trailer, However a car that will
make it just fine and cost you about 1/3 is the Chevrolet VOLT.... and yes
they are fast too, there are others but they are not American and they are UGLY

They are impressive cars and wiped away the whole compairisson to a gas/disel power and torque complaint....way to go but I will still stay with my gasoline vehicle....:ohyea:

:agree: that the limited range is still a concern.
But how long did it take to get fuel stations on almost every corner of every street?
This is still an emerging technology, and the infrastructure just needs some time to catch up! :thumbup:

I think they have you covered in charging stations.

it has 2 motors, a 400 HP in the front and a 600 HP in the rear. They're building a production plant here in Casa Grande, AZ.

Dave you need a longer extension cord!

Go watch the last episode of The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime TV. They had this same situation and it was kind of funny.
