Now that is one serious electric car.

If it looks like a fork and it quacks like a fork...

I only wish I had the $100,000 to pay for it.

Would be nice for them to bring back the electric car!

I've been wanting to see this film: Who Killed the Electric Car?

Yea. They mention their plans on a blog somewhere on that site. In a nutshell they are producing the high end cars and the profits from that go back into R+D. They are then planning to offer a mid size sedan at around 45-50k and then later on offer an inexpensive model for the masses. I hope that plan comes to fruition. On the 100k model you can have solar panels added as an option.

I hope they don't buy their batteries from Sony.
