That Top Gear episode was staged:
I'm sure it was...as is every episode they do. But their 'findings' are still relatively valid. You can't go on lengthy road trips with it, like you can in say, a Camaro or a 'Vette, and you'd be taking a risk by bringing it to the track for a day and expect to get home in that same car. Like you could in say...a Camaro or a Corvette.

I REALLY like the concept. massive torque, outrageously linear power curve...it's great! But they've got some work to do. I'd like to see a day when you can exchange x amount of 25lb battery packs at the "gas station", instead of parking it and waiting for a charge.
