      I like that it's not trying to be a sporty looking supercar type thing. It looks more practical, almost like something for a family.

      Looks like something from an old British TV comedy (think Keeping Up Appearances, Mr. Bean, or Fawlty Towers).

    I'd like to see these sold in the US, along with bumper stickers reading, "My other ride is a Kalashnikov." And now I'm thinking of Samuel L. Jackson in Jackie Brown as a used car salesman: I'm sorry.

    Kalashnikov CV-1, the very best there is. When you absolutely, positively have to kill every motherfucker on the road, accept no substitute.

    I'm sorry.

    I love seeing more and more electric cars, but I really wish there was a competitor to Tesla's Supercharger network. Tesla's cars are awesome, but the charging network is the real selling point....

I'm sure any of the big car manufacturers could design a superior electric car, but as of now none of them could move them at the volume Tesla can because you can't reliably charge the damn things.
