Yet for some reason, I kind of like the looks of this thing. I'd be interested in this car as a daily driver, but I'd like to see the interior first. Interior would make it or break it for me. But why can't they test these cars somewhere other than California? Heck, if it can survive the desert heat of Las Vegas or Phoenix, it can survive just about anything. They should test a couple here, a couple in Phoenix, and then send some to cold places like Alberta and Alaska. The ultimate tests of batteries are extreme heat and extreme cold, which doesn't exist in Southern California. Heck, our car batteries are lucky to survive three years.
