3. This is the first I've heard of it. I hope it's real, too.
Report back, okay? (I'm afraid I'm going to forget to check it out.)

7. Every five or so years one of these stories come out.
They always turn out to be a scam to fleece money from the scientifically ignorant.

I'm will wager this is too.

23. Under a ton with a 200hp electric motor. Definitely a scam.
I'm amazed at how much free publicity these guys are getting.

26. But they'll make more money than the Bigfoot guys.
How many folks will drop a deposit down with them?
How many folks will even pay the full amount?

They'll be long gone soon.

11. My guess it that it will be an electric car with
an IC generator, and it is only "unlimited" if you are willing to drive at a very reduced speed, say 30 mph after you have lost your full battery charge.

14. The Description Sounds Like Perpetual Motion
I hope they have a real advance in electic vehicles. But the claims of self-regeneration are not accurate.

18. The joke is on ME.....what a scam.....
even if the car does what they say it will do.....the fact that they lied to us about price point is a huge turn off. Dont lie to your customers. Period.
