I bet you upgrade the battery and you get 1/3rd of the weight for the same usable mileage. But... you'd have to deal with all the issues Lithium has too..

    I've been following this car for years so it's nice to see a big channel finally cover it. This is honestly one of my dream cars because it has advantages that 99% of other cars don't have. Driving something so fast, safe and that can corner so well sounds incredible. It's the ultimate sleeper. Plus it can legally lane split in California. The reason why it's still so expensive is due to a lack of investors to bring the car into full production. If it was affordable, like $20k, I would totally buy one.

    This seriously takes me back. I sat in the back of the red prototype car back in 2006 or so, and yeah it was a bit of a squeeze getting back there. It wasn't uncomfortable though. Performance was amazing, absolutely brutal acceleration. I remember being amazed at how solid it felt around corners. The series/parallel switch was a feature of a DC motor controller that was really popular in the electric drag racing scene at the time. This car was at least to some extent a product of that scene (it was at a NEDRA drag racing event that I saw the car and met the designer and his son). I miss that time, hanging around so many people building their own crazy high-performance electric vehicles because major manufacturers wouldn't, and wondering where all this was going to go. Rick Woodbury was one of the few back then who stepped up and started trying to do something big. I have long wondered what became of Commuter Cars, and it wasn't more than a month ago that I looked it up and was impressed to find they're still around.

Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven, you must become a new creation and be born again by responding to the Holy Spirit. - Matthew 7:21-23, Revelation 3:15-16 cf. Hebrews 10:26-29. Pay close attention to your thoughts and how you respond to your inner monologue because it has a greater impact than you think. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life, and do all that you can to follow His ways.
