sweet! that will totally match my trapper keeper.

ya, i like gorillas.

0-60? their site says 0-30 in 3.8 seconds. that's a little bit less impressive.

$12000 for a 50mph top speed and a 45 mile range at 25mph. this is really sad. even the vectrix beats it out by a little bit. sorry, but it's hard to justify this thing over a 70mpg ninja 250 that can actually go on highways.

all is full of love!

this market is waiting for the ion. vudu is trying to dump inventory while they still can. proprietary set top boxes are a dying breed.

the numbers here are highly questionable. there are two reasons why this sounds better than it is: (1) it's probably not a big enough deduction to make many people switch over from standard to itemized deductions, (2) it'll take quite a large car loan for the yearly interest to add up to over 2% of your income (necessary in order to claim a deduction), and (3) homeowners would still do better by borrowing against their equity (lower rates and tax deductible). a 5 year loan for $10k at 7% works out to about $400 in interest per year. this would go over the 2% cutoff for people who make $20k or less. for someone making $50k, they'd need to take out a $25k loan to hit the cutoff, and that's still only $1000 worth of deduction-- far from enough to beat the standard deduction. no, unless special rules come along with this deduction, i think it's going to completely fail to help the people who could most use help buying a new car (i.e. non-homeowners who aren't buying cars out of their league).

i say double it because (a) it's not just about inefficiencies in the charger, it's the whole system from charging jack to wheels, and (b) the 37kWh figure i came up with is a *bare minimum* amount of charge to meet the stated specs under conservative driving conditions, whereas this is supposed to be a performance car.

thanks for the insights on high power charging. sounds like that part, at least, can be done. i guess now it's just a question of whether the batteries can do it.
