Looks too typical in the rear, and the bug catcher grill in the front will be a nightmare to clean. So basically it looks like a $57,000 Toyota coupe. Still wondering the grills purpose if there is no radiator or is it to 'look traditional'.

It's electric! Where are the other bright design ideas?

Great looking cars but terrible marketing. I didn't see this on the national news or really anywhere on the net other than car and tech sources.

[...] Why not just spend the stimulus money and buy everybody a new 50-mile-a-gallon Prius? A few hundred billion dollars spent that way would do more than anything else to end dependence on foreign oil, argues the L.A. Times. And it would be cheaper than buying the sportier Tesla electric cars, with the new sedan unveiled yesterday. Story in the NYT, photos at Earth2Tech. [...]
