It's a damn shame the gummint spent so much on it, though. I'm all for providing a growth environment for businesses, but this is retarded. It's supposed to have a starting price of about 95k, which seems pretty damned elitist for what is supposed to be a solution virtually everyone in America will have to adopt for there to be any real benefit from. In what reasonable world would a car that costs as much as a home be accessible for most, or even a lot of, people? If it's not a solution for the average citizen, what business is it of the government's?
This is not to imply I think the gummint needs to develop a 21st century american version of the Volkswagen. We're nowhere near competent enough for that sort of thing. Uncle Sugar's engineering firm would undoubtedly create a car as desirable as a third hand Yugo, with all the safety features of a Pinto on meth. Also, socialism didn't work out to well for the germans, if you recall. The government shouldn't get to pick winners. These are the people who take a loss on selling coins.
I googled meth and this came up:
