Oh yeah! Now you're talkin! That's a vehicle that makes sense! The price ain't cheap, though. Maybe Santa will bring me one for Christmas if I'm a really good boy all year? :)

Seriously, it looks pretty neat, and the specs sound great. I want one too!

It says they are taking orders, so I guess that means it will be out real soon. If only companies like that would open offices in Chile, so I could get to play with some of their toys. I'll be in the market for a new car next year (after the studio is done! :) )and I'm seriously thinking that something like that would be ideal. But with no sales or service organization here, I guess I'm stuck with yet another gas guzzler.

Well, I can carry on dreaming, I guess...

'Thanks Ro - but if I had $50K ....I'd spend it on something else. I'm not really into cars.

I suppose what amazes me is that finally I can see a real vehicle that can compete with the car of today that runs on electricity. That's a major breakthrough cos these guys are very particular. The batteries are recycleable, the bodywork is sustainable etc. I've got electricty at home - therefore we won't need petrol tankers on the roads anymore.

Can't wait to see the electric triple-B-semi-trailer! :thu:

That's a container studio behind :)

Yeah, it's a good thing, cars running on batteries. I'd drive such a car without a doubt. if the car looks cool on me that is :)
Such a truck on batteries, eh. you'd need another trailer just for those batteries I guess. Sure is a cool one (hell, every vehicle dragging a portable studio is cool)
