Only 38 miles on pure battery. After that a generator comes own a keeps the battery charged. ( like a diesel train )
Good looking in person. Very fast. Once it runs out of battery it gets 66 MPG. For the first 100 miles then drops to mid 20's
All this for $100,000. Now if that body was on the Tesla...
I would imagine that within a year or so expect the price to drop even lower then that. With all the bad publicity surrounding it from its alleged combustibility while charging and the lawsuit they dropped on the ones destroyed during Sandy in transit expect this to be the US VW Phaeton of EV cars. As it will be quite (probably not as much as older Phaetons) cheap but incredibly hard to find parts for.
