never owned - nor did parents own.

I agree he missed some of the points - but the trend that the business model is seriously flawed is very obvious.

The model needs to be fixed for them to survive... people are building there own EV's not outta lead acid - WOULD IT KILL an auto company to offer a 50 Mile fully electrc - fully road worthy commter?? I bet they would sell a good number of them and even make a decent profit off of it.

Reopen the METRO assmebly lines - but in a electric motor and some lead - POOF - fully electric - car NOW. ( and skip past the NEV crap)

Just my thought
