I think their strategy of producing an exciting car first, never mind the price, is right on the money. They have shocked everyone into realizing how inefficient the internal combustion engine is compared with electric motors. For as long as I can remember, electricity has been thought to be too expensive for anything as mundane as heat or locomotion, or as merely a convenient way to control "real" energy. Now it is beginning to dawn on us that there is such a huge advantage that we could have a hot rod for way less operating cost than we are spending on mundane daily drivers.
 
I'll be watching to see if they can beat the big guys to market with a practical commuter, and I'll be looking for the IPO, and considering laying down some money.
