The factory showroom is about 10 miles from here. I see them driving around
from time to time.
Personally, I think the world needs a 4-passenger subcompact EV for an
affordable price, a lot more than it needs a high performance 2-seat
roadster for $100K. But I know why they did it -- it's the publicity. The
guys in Berkeley trying to market cheap electric runabouts can't get any
press.
