I still think it is too expensive for what it is as much as I would love to have one. I see no reason it can not sell for $13,000
For me most of my driving is around town and it would be good for that but I also have to go to three trade shows a year and each are usually 900 to 1400 miles away. If I was to buy one it would have to be capable of making those trips. I have drove 18 hours in one day at 70+ MPH only stopping for gas and quick breaks. Can not drive 300 miles and then find some place to charge it for 6 hours. Then drive another 300 miles.
Also living in Texas an GOOD air conditioner is a REQUIREMENT! not an option. A venting system will not cut it. When it is 105* outside dropping the interior temp to 95* is not much help.
I do not care if the back seats are very small they are rarely used any way. It would be nice if they fold down so you could carry some larger items.
