I'll agree with concept.
The greencarreports link shows a Model-S style electric motor at the front and rear axles, the leftlanenews link describes a hub motor design!
While I would welcome more diversity in the EV market, I would not personally put down any cash to purchase one until 'where can I fix it' and 'who supplies spare parts' is worked out. The announcement, in Nov 2019, of production starting 'late 2020' is ... umm .. a BIT optimistic?
