Erm, no it's about £15 lol. Still crap though.jord wrote:

That's like... £50! OMG I'm so getting one.
Say that to the guy who is putting his life's work into the production of the vehicle. I imagine its better then anything you can consider doing. Have some respect for these entrepreneurs.TheEternalPessimist wrote:

Look at that car. Unless it's made out of titanium with transparent aluminum windows, you can tell me that it can climb walls, but it'd still crush like a maggot. You can have all the bars and fold-under profiles you want, but it's not going to save you. Besides which, once you made several trips to the grocery store in the same day because you couldn't fit everything in there, you might as well have driven a regular gas car for all the electricity you blew.Im_Dooomed wrote:

Outside of "My car should be a tank" type circles, there is a real, large, and true market for cars that go from a -> b without the need of carrying a small army. I know that THOUSANDS of people commute into and out of San Francisco (and loads of other major cities around the world) every single work day and could easily use this to replace their honda's and other such putters which probably do just as poorly against the aforementioned tanks in collisions.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Ok then it's great, it's the perfect car for any normal road user, lots of storage for your shopping, plenty of seats for your family and it goes at an amazing what? 90MHP for those speed freaks, crackin stuff, the Tesla roadster is an example of great design this is another failed attempt to go on the pile of the 50 or so others, like that Honda solar powered car and the like.Im_Dooomed wrote:
I'm guessing that pessimist guy and newbie13 didn't even WATCH the video. Because like Jeff said, the guy went into detail the safety features and the construction of the frame to protect it against impacts.
So, I ask the question, why do you two guys post when you don't know anything? Too joke? Or, is that your way of submitting your opinion on alternative fuel efficient vehicles? That you dislike them and thing they are of low-quality and unsafe?
Put some effort into your post next timeSay that to the guy who is putting his life's work into the production of the vehicle. I imagine its better then anything you can consider doing. Have some respect for these entrepreneurs.TheEternalPessimist wrote:

Your BMW is raped by a sperm-shaped tricycle. But it would be interesting to see what would happen in a fishtail scenario on a San Francisco commute at 60mph.chuyskywalker wrote:

Additionally, you can fit plenty into the car ... for comparison:
"Stupid Car":

has 15.9 cubic feet of space.

Or buy a Tesla, 120MPG sports car FTW about 100k USD though, not bad for a car that does 0-60MHP in 4 seconds thoughBell wrote:
