I'm good with waiting and finding out.
They have promised hub motors that don't exist and efficiency no one thinks is possible.
At this point I will be surprised if they build it at all.
I'm expecting a more pedestrian version that doesn't use hub motors and gets the equivalent of less than 300 mpg when a normal person drives it outside in the real world.
The 400mpge number will likely remain a parlor trick that can't be reproduced outside a controlled environment.
