I'm not going to ding them for spartan interior, I wish more manufacturers would have the nads to keep things simple (and consumers as well).

What I am going to ding them for is failure to launch. Seems like more time is spent in washington than in manufacturing. I appreciate it is complicated, but they had a business plan going into the x-prize and got a decent chunk of change to get started.
