Ha! I guess you think you will find more people in Georgia or Alabama who can design these systems? LOL

Didn't say that. But there are other places than Silicon Valley with lots of smart folks who know far more about heavy motor controls, heavy batteries, etc. Some worked for my former company, which was not a production company, in Texas. I think my point is made by the extremely high price they are showing for the cars. As someone else said, hardly the Henry Ford business model. And more to the point, hardly the sort of thing leading to widespread adoption of such vehicles.

It's obvious that the technology is not ready yet, it may never be. But that means it's time to work on the technology, not produce vehicles.
