Which would bring even more delays. And, things will be even more proprietary and less "off the shelf"
What are these people thinking anyway, They should have stuck with something already available, improve it to be more efficient without going overboard. And finally, concede to a bit of failure and admit to the fact that they will need to lower expectations to something more realistic and attainable as far as fuel economy goes. (and cost too) THEN get this damned thing on the road. They can make improvements and changes in the next years model.

Crud, makes me think they have snot for brains.
