    First off, this is a prototype, not the actual vehicle but it sounds nice:


    A Tesla competitor, only if more than a handful ever show up. The German ME-262 was a great plane, barely 100 and no fuel ... or pilots.

    they've been waiting a long time? what about us?

    that is a seriously ugly 'grille'. are designers at a loss because they are used to openings? the gasser does look better

    good shifter, cool cooled seats

    Yes, anyone with cooled ventilated seats - who previously had to get into a car that scalded their backside will appreciate 'em. Chrysler Pacifica plugin hybrid minivan has them too on their fully loaded option package - as does Tesla. In both of those cars, vented seats , for those that have the option, they can be started remotely. Do I dare say it?
    "Cool"

    .... or spare parts .... or amo/ordinance ...
    thankfully.
    Some of the Europeans have put up production model videos online. Interesting strategy they've done with delivering the short-range version before the long-range becomes available. Tesla found it helped profitability to make their long-range offerings first. That seems to fly in the face (short-range) of what many prospective buyers would prefer. Despite cost meaning some can't afford to buy, the competing dynamic is - those wanting longer-range may go elsewhere by the time long range is available. That notion is based on many of the online whiners that have jumped out of the Tesla que, waiting for their short Range model 3. Better to lose the lower profitability customer than the opposite.
