The molds are not good enough to really produce more, the edges don't come out very good. it's ok to fix them after they come off the mold when you only do a few, but isn't viable for actual production purposes.
I have no performance numbers on the current vehicle.
It is a functional operational vehicle, but it is not registered so it can't legally be driven on the street. You can be sure any policeman seeing it will pull me over immediately. If you watch my video you will see me driving it.
This one vehicle is mostly steel and very heavy. It is really nothing more than a buck to make fiberglass molds for the actual Indy One vehicle.
The details of the internal fiberglass structure is not yet done.
I am a 'hands on' designer and builder.
The body is 13 ft long, 55 inches wide, and 49 inches tall.
I'm going to test out eliminating the front overhang, which makes it difficult for speed bumps giving how low it is. That would shorten it by about 12 inches.
There is storage space under the hood above the batteries.
And inside the passenger compartment there will be storage space.
The vehicle uses a Prius drivetrain which is front-wheel-drive, front-wheel-steering.
My estimates compare it to a Tesla Model S.
I appreciate your interest, thanks.

A few people expressed interest [in getting a CF cap], by CF 19 moon cap I mean a carbon fiber moon cap for a 19. How much would one be? I know the Toyota is a FF, but all Teslas are rear wheel drive or all wheel, so I guess I am still trying to make the connection between the Tesla and this. I can't understand how this is closer to the Model S than a Leaf, or MiEV.
So are all of the frames going to be sourced from 71 Zs? I'm very curious about these CF (carbon fiber) tubs- short of McLaren, I never really hear about them. Thanks for the responses, I like hearing back!
