I hope they talk to Telsco soon. You can't say how great it woill be to partner with them forever.

By the way if they sell 10,000 of them ofver the next ten years will that be worth it for someone to build quick 1,000 quick charge stations all over? These numbers don't seem to work on a small scale.

It says on the company web site that the Lightning GT has ABS. Is it an inboard brake system? (Inboard disk brakes discussion)

What's the UK's legislation on brakes?

I think I know why the Lightning GT is not achieving higher acceleration times. It has door handles!

There is a link to this thread (page 11) under the comments of that video/article. Wonder who posted it?

I have the same feeling too. I haven't seen any video of a Hi-PA Drive car going any speed but slow.

The fastest I've seen them go are in this video, and even so you notice them struggling quite badly on a mild slope.

Wish them luck but I wish to really see a lot more especially from a performance car.
