X1 vs. Tzero vs. Tesla vs. Venturi

[gtface]

I can't wait until an auto magazine or TV show takes the Tesla for a test drive. I think they will be blown away by its performance. We probably won't be seeing it on Top Gear though, since Tesla is only selling their Roadster in the US for now.

EDIT: The weight is 1140 kg according to wikipedia. The 990 lbs figure posted is apparently the weight of the battery alone

Or maybe the driver! But seriously, I would take the Tesla as well because it is the most practical and has good performance to match.

Just saw this and think its relative to the electric cars we have here.

Electric cars are dangerous for the blind

Just what kind of sound should an electric car make to be noticable?

-edit- also, T-Rex announces a new motor for their three wheeled machine. Its electric

The X1 was built as a prototype and concept car, the main reason Wrightspeed produced this is for a stepping stone into their production car.

"The X1 prototype is just the beginning...the X1 production car will be better… much better."
-Wrightspeed Inc.

I for one cant wait. Anyone have any guesses on the chassis they will use?

Hmmm... it's really just a matter of what they mean by "X1 Production car". I figured they would make a few changes but still use the Atom chassis, but you're right that it sounds like they might just make a new car entirely. I guess we'll have to wait and see

That's awesome! (about the T-Rex)

Well, I guess we've hit the bottleneck. There are simply too many blind people walking on the roads. Too much danger. I guess we can't actually build quiet cars. Game over.
