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 !
THis is a good summation. They are cool looking but old news at this point in terms of novelty, at least around here. A good friend got one of the first ones 3 years ago, I was all over it until I learned the actual performance specs. They could have given it true super car performance, why they did not is a mystery.

They are depreciating quickly.
