Also, the TW4XP is also out due to the acceleration test, apparently, though they are appealing. I got to have a good long talk with Matin and the others on the team -- they are really in this for the "right reasons" and they are a great bunch of people.
Everybody that I talked to, even from teams that I had overlooked or that I had dismissed (my mistake!) -- made me realize that everybody had put in an amazing amount of work, and they all had made great strides, and have learned a great deal about making efficient cars.

Too bad about Illuminati. Is the Aptera still in the running? Also, what did you think of the Global-E cars, especially the G1 (26)? I never noticed this car until it appeared at the X-Prize and was curious as to what the car is like.
