So this thing is really happening huh?

Not really, no. From what I read the first shipments are kind of a stunt because they still haven’t worked out their production issues. They are having to do a lot of work on each vehicle by hand. Which means each unit is going to have costs like a Bentley but be expected to sell for the price of a Ford.

I really think this is a Potemkin delivery.

Did anyone mention that it looks like a video game car but not from a good game, like one of those racing games that came free with the console in the 90s? If I see one on the side of the road I am going to hear a voice in my head scream "Wipeout! Radical dude!"

I cannot wait to point and laugh like Nelson Muntz from The Simpsons every time I see one of these fugly pieces of shit on the road.

Some of us like the look... Still not worth the price though.

Looks are for whores. If this is a better way to do cars go ahead and do it. I am making my jokes but that isn't me saying it's stupid.

Looks like a nightmare to repair.
