Hyper-efficient electric car manuf’d in Carlsbad

[UCGal]

I’ve been following several EV’s that might hit the market soon.

There’s the Zap X

And the Zap Alias

(the price on this one is interesting.

The Fisker Karma that someone else mentioned.

The non-vaporware Tesla. (But you need to be wealthy to afford it.)

Toyota is still talking about a plug in prius – but it’s date seems to keep moving out.

I have a hybrid, but at some point in the next several years we’ll need to replace my husbands old truck with something that will fit a family of 4. We’re hoping to get a plug in hybrid or full blown EV.

the prius is a far cry from this specialized niche vehicle. btw, the honda ev had numbers close to this thing but was a more practical and conventional car.

people laughed at the prius? who? republicans? oilmen? who cares. the prius is an actual car, a consumer product appealing to the general public vs this engineering exercise.

cfd? had to look that one up. why not just say “modeling”? when i was in school, fluid dynamics involved theory which led to computation and resulted in experiment (ie., testing). funny how marketers and techno geeks just love to make up new acronyms for the same old things.

do you think their “cfd” took cross winds and lift into account? between the nice big tail fin and the lifting body shape, i’m sure that single rear wheel will have plenty of traction and control…

and gull wing doors?? heh, good luck getting out of the thing in tight parking.

What I want to know is if there is anyone interested in putting down a deposit down for a Tesla Roadster. Group buy anyone ? 🙂

This is one amazing car. That flat torque "curve" is what turns me on.

yes, already heard about Aptera. It’s an interesting three-wheeled vehicle with stylish design and innovative window regulator. I like to have one someday!
