I think the CT stands to convert a lot of people. I'm not a fan of Tesla, EV's, Pick up trucks (my '49 excluded), Musk or Sci-Fi - nor do I *need* to replace my work van. Yet here I am chomping at the bit to get one.

If the CT is a success, I've been wondering if this concept might find it's way into other segments. Flat panel carbon fibre instead though
