...uh, which Santa Fe, was that? (a) the CITY in New Mexico, (b) the LOCOMOTIVE train, or (c) the Hyundai SUV vehicle?
A) I'm in Minnesota
B ) Challenging trains is generally considered bad crossing-arm karma
C ) We have a winner *boob lady hands over giant cardboard check*

Carlos, the weight quoted on that article is off by about a thousand pounds.
I don't know why they are complaining about the acceleration... the NEV version will break the tires loose on dry pavement.

RobertSmalls... good call on the maths
IF the Th!nk gets released, it will probably be cheaper than the Whip.

Wheego's business model seems to be avoid taking on debt whenever possible. They got their feet wet building ATVs, then they learned car building making NEV's, and now they are making the jump to highway legal cars. Baby steps.
Th!nk took the opposite approach... Jump straight into car building with a big pile of money. Then the money ran out. Then Fjord put up a pile of money, which ran out. Then the Swiss put in a pile of money, which ran out. Then the Finns, and the saga continues...
