And the range is <20mi on battery only... So it's sort of a mongrel, performance wise... Very cool looking, not much of a performer either from a sporty standpoint or electrical standpoint....

If I 'm honest I'm disappointed in it from a tech and performance standpoint, but love the way it looks. Clarkson did a decent review on the last seasons of Top gear, look it up !
Yup, most of the reviews agreed that the performance and experience don't align with the supercar looks. It's like a pretty Prius.
