The specs of the car are fantastic, it really is "futuristic".
The thing is though.. Whats going to happen when they hit the second hand market. How long are the batteries going to last and how much is going to cost to replace them? I think they have the potential to be the biggest wallet breaker ever when they are out of warranty. Time will tell....
Lovely car tho'... Previously..

I don't know, once you see a few on transporters they loose their panache...



But then you don't see one of these on the road everyday...

I think you're right. Beyond my budget, so I can sit and watch with interest.
