Laugh all you want. I made my money. The M-car is put on the back burner by the corporate guys, just like all of the other promising technologies. Right now, they see plug in hybrids as their money maker for the next couple of decades.
It really ticks me off that US business men have their collective heads up their collective butts. In the 1800's and thru the 1960's we were the technological leaders of the world. Now we are the followers. Soon we will be a second rate country owing big money to Europe & Asia.
We had better get off our duffs and start revving up our technological engines or we will be passed byand the USA will become an 'also ran nation.'
As an example, I am currently working on another DuPont project. That was once a company that lead the world in its technology and I admired it greatly. They used to reinvest a fair share their profits in research to stay ahead of everyone else. Now all they worry about is their next quarterly earnings, and fund very little research.

Sorry for the rant, it's just one of my pet peeves.
